VC Investment Trends Shift: Public Chains and AI Cool Down; Prediction and Payment Take the Lead

Venture capital investment in the crypto sector is shifting significantly, moving away from previously dominant areas like Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains and AI projects. According to recent data, out of 73 projects that raised over $10 million in the past three months, almost none were new public chains. Similarly, AI × Web3 sector saw only two major raises, totaling $22.8 million. Instead, prediction markets and payment systems are now attracting substantial capital. Prediction platforms Polymarket and Kalshi alone secured over $3.15 billion, driven by Polymarket’s accurate election forecasts and growing user engagement. The payment and banking sector raised nearly $1.3 billion, with companies like Ripple Labs and Rapyd leading large rounds. Stablecoin transaction volumes now rival Visa, highlighting the sector’s expansion. Real World Assets (RWA) are also gaining traction, with over $850 million raised—led by Figure’s $787.5 million IPO. Tokenized assets on-chain now exceed $36 billion. Additionally, user-friendly infrastructure projects, such as simplified wallets and onboarding tools, are receiving significant investment to attract mainstream adoption. While DeFi remains active with around $740 million in funding, it no longer dominates VC attention. The trend indicates a clear pivot toward applications with real-world use cases and revenue potential over pure infrastructure.
