In July 2025, crypto projects raised $2.67 billion in funding, primarily driven by interest in the memecoin platform Pumpfun and stablecoins.
Impact of Pumpfun on Funding
Crypto projects achieved significant success, attracting $2.67 billion in funding in July 2025, largely due to attention towards the platform Pumpfun. Despite the lack of official statements from its leadership, Pumpfun captures market interest. The stablecoin sector also played a major role, with the momentum in Circle’s market lending confidence to the stablecoin model.
Liquidity Growth in Crypto Ecosystems
Immediate consequences of this funding include increased liquidity and trading volume across popular crypto platforms. The influx of capital indicates a revived interest from institutional investors, impacting assets like BTC and ETH, as well as memecoin ecosystems.
Forecasts and Historical Trends
Historically, events such as DeFi Summer 2020 and the NFT boom in 2021 preceded similar funding levels that promoted liquidity expansions in major areas of the crypto market. Experts forecast potential short-term volatility paired with sustained medium-term growth in DeFi’s total value locked (TVL).
Thus, July 2025 marks a significant milestone for crypto projects, as financial influxes promote high levels of activity across the market and restore confidence among both retail and institutional investors.
