Anchorage, TRM Labs Lead $300M Crypto Funding Week

Published at 2026-02-09 11:00:25

Investors committed about $300 million in disclosed financing during the opening week of February, with Anchorage and TRM Labs among the most prominent recipients. The activity spanned custody, compliance, and infrastructure startups, marking one of the busiest fundraising stretches since late 2025 and suggesting capital is flowing back into service providers that support institutional participation.

Why it matters: the influx prioritizes security and regulatory readiness, giving winners more runway to hire, expand products, and pursue global compliance efforts. For the broader market, concentrated backing of custody and analytics firms could accelerate institutional onboarding and influence M&A and valuation dynamics this year. Watch for follow-on rounds and deployment updates as firms turn capital into operational scale.
