Crypto payments and stablecoin projects have raised $2.12B in 2026, already 4.6 times their full-year 2023 total.
At the same time, funding of last cycle's narratives fell sharply. Infrastructure funding also declined, but still attracted $401M.
Payments are becoming one of the clearest use cases for blockchain rails, perhaps even better than RWA. I'm excited to see what next year brings to the industry!
