🤑 Crypto Cash Bonanza: HashKey Bags $250M, Architect Snags $35M! 🚀

by

In the dying embers of 2025, the week of December 21-27 saw a veritable avalanche of crypto dosh, with a whopping $316.2 million being flung at eight lucky projects. 🎉 That’s right, folks, the crypto world decided to end the year with a bang, not a whimper! 💥

  • 🤑 Crypto projects hoovered up $316.2M in the last gasp of 2025 across eight deals. Talk about a festive feast!
  • 💰 HashKey Group stole the show with a colossal $250M raise. That’s enough to make even a dwarf with a grudge smile!
  • 📈 Finance and trading infrastructure were the belles of the ball, attracting more investor attention than a wizard at a hat convention.

According to the runes (or, you know, the data), HashKey Group’s $250 million raise was the star of this year-end funding extravaganza, which was all about finance platforms and infrastructure. Because who doesn’t love a bit of financial wizardry? 🧙‍♂️

Finance and trading platforms were the toast of the town during this final week, leaving other sectors to nibble on the crumbs. 🍞

Behold, a Pratchett-esque breakdown of this week’s crypto funding shenanigans, courtesy of Cryptofundraising data:

HashKey Group

  • HashKey conjured up $250 million in a mysterious round. What’s in the box? Nobody knows, but it’s probably not a sock! 🧦
  • The firm has now amassed $380 million. That’s enough to buy a small dragon, or at least a very large hat. 🎩

Architect

  • Secured $35 million in a Series A round. Not bad for a bunch of financial tech wizards! 🧙‍♂️
  • Architect specializes in high-throughput, low-latency infrastructure. Or, as we like to call it, “making money move faster than a troll on a sugar rush.” 🏃‍♂️💨
  • Backed by Miax, HGSA Capital, and Galaxy. That’s a constellation of investors if ever we saw one! 🌌
  • Gained +7 new investors. Seven! That’s a whole week’s worth of luck right there. 🍀
  • Architect has raised $52 million so far. Enough to build a financial fortress, or at least a very fancy moat. 🏰

Architect has completed a $35M strategic Series A fundraise to accelerate the growth of AX, the financial industry’s first centralized and regulated exchange for trading perpetual futures on traditional assets. Because why trade normal things when you can trade the future? 🚀

Octra

  • Octra raised $20 million through a public sale. That’s a lot of clams for a public rummage! 🐚
  • The project has raised $26 million so far. Not too shabby for a bunch of crypto enthusiasts! 😎

Funding Under $5 Million

  • Coinbax, $4.2 million in a seed round. That’s a lot of seeds to sow! 🌱
  • easy.fun, $2 million in a seed round. Because who doesn’t love a bit of easy fun? 🎢
  • Otomato, $2 million in an unknown round. Tomato, tomahto, it’s all crypto now! 🍅
