PANews reported on December 3rd that, according to Cryptopolitan, RootData data shows that venture capital activity in the crypto industry slowed in November 2025, with the number of publicly disclosed investment deals falling to 57, a 28% decrease month-over-month and a 41% decrease year-over-year. Despite the decrease in the number of deals, total funding surged to $14.54 billion, a 219% increase from $4.556 billion in October. This significant increase stemmed from Naver's $10.3 billion acquisition of Upbit operator Dunamu, the largest funding event in crypto history. From an industry perspective, DeFi projects accounted for the largest share of investment transactions, representing 30.4% of all disclosed crypto venture capital deals in November, making it the most active category. Centralized financial infrastructure followed closely, accounting for 12.5% of the total transactions, including exchanges, lending platforms, and other centralized cryptocurrency services. AI-centric crypto projects, as well as RWA/DePIN projects, each accounted for 7.1% of the total investment. Tool and wallet development projects accounted for 5.4% of the total transactions, while Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain infrastructure projects accounted for only 1.8%. NFT and GameFi projects combined accounted for 1.8% of the total transactions.PANews reported on December 3rd that, according to Cryptopolitan, RootData data shows that venture capital activity in the crypto industry slowed in November 2025, with the number of publicly disclosed investment deals falling to 57, a 28% decrease month-over-month and a 41% decrease year-over-year.

PEPE Holders Looking For The Next 100x Crypto Set Their Sights On Layer Brett Presale
The post PEPE Holders Looking For The Next 100x Crypto Set Their Sights On Layer Brett Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 01:13 The Shiba Inu price prediction has regained investor attention this month as meme coin traders shift strategies ahead of Q4.

Still, SHIB’s loyal community and expanding ecosystem keep it on the radar for long-term holders, especially those betting on its metaverse and DeFi ambitions to mature into stronger use cases by 2025.

However, the token’s parabolic rise was followed by a sharp correction. Currently priced around $0.00001087, PEPE still maintains a large following, but the lack of clear development or new utilities has left holders searching for alternatives with more potential.
