Top Crypto Fundraising Deals Showcase Growth Across Key Sectors

Last week was big for crypto.

Ten big projects raised money. The total crossed $1.3 billion (approximately). The sectors ranged from real estate to IoT to AI agents. And the names backing these deals: a16z crypto, Paradigm, Animoca Brands, Jump Capital are not small players.

Here is every raise from June 8 to June 14, broken down simply.

Ten crypto’s. Seven days. Raises starting at $4 million and going all the way up to $717 million.

That is what crypto fundraising looked like last week, according to CoinMarketCap Research. The sectors covered ground most people would not expect real estate lending, privacy infrastructure for banks, on-chain DEX trading, IoT devices, and AI payment agents all made the list.

The investors behind these deals are not newcomers either. a16z crypto, Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, Animoca Brands, Jump Capital, and Framework Ventures all wrote checks this week.

Here is every raise, explained one by one.

1. Kiavi — $717M | Real Estate | M&A | Backed by Figure

Kiavi took the top spot by a mile.

The company raised $717 million through an M&A deal, with Figure as the acquirer. Kiavi works in real estate lending. Figure brings blockchain-native lending infrastructure to the table. The deal is about putting real estate finance on-chain tokenizing real assets and financing them through blockchain rails.

This is the largest raise of the week. It is not even close.

2. Canton Network

Canton Network raised $335 million in a strategic round led by a16z crypto.

Canton is building a privacy-enabled public Layer-1 blockchain. The focus is on traditional finance connecting big institutions to blockchain while keeping their data private and compliant. Backers already include HSBC and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

a16z crypto leading a $335 million strategic round is not a casual move. This is a serious bet on privacy infrastructure for institutional finance.

3. Morpho 

Morpho raised $175 million. Three heavy hitters backed it a16z, Ribbit Capital, and Paradigm.

Morpho builds on-chain lending infrastructure. It also covers DAO governance and liquid staking derivatives (LSDfi). Having all three of those investors in the same round is rare. It shows real confidence in where DeFi lending is headed.

4. Edge Markets

Edge Markets closed a $29 million Series A with CoinFund.

5. Vinyl Equity 

Vinyl Equity raised $20 million in a Series A round. Jump Capital backed it.

6. Siiibo Securities 

Siiibo Securities raised $13 million through an M&A deal. Metaplanet Inc. is the backer. Metaplanet is known for holding Bitcoin as a core treasury asset, which gives this deal an interesting strategic angle.

7. Ai Pay With Crypto 

Ai Pay With Crypto raised $10 million in a strategic round from Animoca Brands.

The company builds API infrastructure for AI agents to make crypto payments. As AI agents become more capable of acting independently, they will need a way to transact. This is the infrastructure play for that future. Animoca Brands deep in Web3 gaming and digital economies is a natural fit here.

8. MNX 

MNX raised $6.4 million at the pre-seed stage. Backers are individual investors Max Kilberg, Rex Salisbury, and Jay Drain Jr.

The project focuses on decentralized exchange (DEX) infrastructure and perpetuals trading. Early money at this size for a DEX/perps product shows that on-chain trading still has believers willing to back it from day one.

9. TVL Capital 

TVL Capital raised $5M at the seed stage. Framework Ventures led the round.

10. SEALCOIN 

SEALCOIN raised $4 million in a strategic round. The Hashgraph Group and WISeKey are the backers.

SEALCOIN is building blockchain infrastructure for the Internet of Things connecting physical devices to on-chain systems. WISeKey is a real cybersecurity and IoT company with enterprise reach, which gives this raise more grounding than most early IoT blockchain projects have had.

The Big Picture

Ten deals. $1.3 billion. One week. 

A few things stand out.

Real estate is coming on-chain. Kiavi's $717 million M&A deal with Figure is the clearest sign yet. This is not a pilot program. This is serious acquisition-level money moving into blockchain-based real estate finance.

Privacy infrastructure for banks is getting funded at scale. Canton Network's $335M raise, backed by a16z and institutions like HSBC, shows that the demand from traditional finance is real and that investors are putting large checks behind it.

DeFi lending is being taken seriously. Morpho's $175M from a16z crypto, Ribbit Capital, and Paradigm in a single round is proof that on-chain lending has moved past experiment and into infrastructure.

AI agents need crypto rails. Ai Pay With Crypto's $10M raise points to a trend that is just getting started. As AI agents operate more autonomously, they will need payment infrastructure. That is what this company is building.

June 8–14 was one week. But the pattern it shows has been building for a while and it is not slowing down.

Conclusion

Crypto fundraising remained strong between June 8 and June 14, with 10 projects collectively raising more than $1.3 billion. From tokenized real estate and institutional blockchain infrastructure to DeFi lending, AI payment systems, and IoT solutions, investor interest continues to expand across multiple sectors. The week highlighted growing confidence in blockchain-based infrastructure and long-term ecosystem development.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
