What Happened

Forty cents of every venture capital dollar invested in crypto companies in 2025 targeted AI-crypto hybrid firms, doubling from eighteen cents in 2024. Crypto companies are shifting from AI co-pilots to autonomous agents for faster execution in trading. AI spending globally reached $242 billion in Q1 2026, representing eighty percent of venture funding.
