Investors bet on favorable regulation
Leading the record-breaking fundraising month was crypto exchange Binance, which secured $2 billion from MGX, a firm based in Abu Dhabi.
The second-largest round went to TON Network, which raised $400 million, while World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project linked to former President Donald Trump, completed a $250 million public token sale.
The Walrus Foundation also drew investor attention, raising $140 million to support its crypto initiatives.
This capital surge signals a renewed wave of investor confidence and aligns with broader optimism in the digital asset space. Many investors are responding to growing expectations that the Trump administration may implement more relaxed, crypto-friendly regulations.
As we wrote, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the blockchain venture linked to U.S. President Donald Trump’s family, continues to attract attention and capital at a remarkable pace.
