Disclosed funding reached $1.269 billion in September
Total disclosed crypto VC funding in September 2026 came to about $1.269 billion. That was up 71.1% from $742 million in August 2026, but down 79.2% from $6.096 billion in September 2025.
WuBlockchain noted that projects with undisclosed deal sizes were counted in the number of deals but not in the funding total. It also said not every financing round is disclosed in the same month it closes, so the figures may be revised later.
Largest disclosed rounds and transactions
Polymarket
Prediction market platform Polymarket raised a new round in early September 2026 led by 1789 Capital, a venture firm where Donald Trump Jr. is a partner. The round valued the company at $21 billion post-money, up about 40% from roughly $15 billion in the previous round. 1789 Capital had already invested about $200 million before this deal, bringing its total capital injection to about $500 million.

WhatsApp remittance platform Félix, which serves Latin American immigrants in the United States, completed a combined $200 million Series B financing. The company said it will use the capital to expand stablecoin-settled cross-border remittances into lending and savings.
Andreessen Horowitz led an $87 million equity investment, with QED Investors, Castle Island Ventures, Switch Ventures, Contour Venture Partners, and Endeavor Catalyst also participating. General Catalyst’s Customer Value Fund separately provided a $113 million credit facility. Users initiate transfers inside WhatsApp, with USDC used for settlement in the background and recipients receiving local fiat currency.

Payward / Kraken
Nasdaq Ventures made a $100 million strategic investment in Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, valuing it at $21 billion.
The investment extends a partnership announced in March. Under that arrangement, Kraken will distribute RWA equities tied to Nasdaq-listed companies on its own platform, and the two sides plan to launch the related market infrastructure in the second quarter of 2027.
MoonPay / North Capital
MoonPay agreed to acquire U.S. private market infrastructure platform North Capital in an all-stock transaction valued at more than $60 million. The deal is not a traditional cash financing round and remains subject to regulatory approval.

HIFI currently serves more than 10,000 businesses and 200,000 end users across about 87 countries, and it has participated in a DTCC repo pilot.

Cross-border stablecoin payments infrastructure company Latitude said on Sept. 9, 2026 that it had raised $35 million in Series A funding led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from NEA, Coinbase Ventures, Lightspeed Faction, and OpenFX.
