In February 2026, the cryptocurrency market raised $864 million, a month-on-month decrease of 19.3%

According to the latest statistics from RootData, the investment and financing heat in the cryptocurrency market has cooled down in February 2026, with a total of 63 financing events recorded throughout the month, amounting to $864 million, a month-on-month decrease of 19.3%. Despite the overall decline, the trend of capital concentrating on leading projects has become increasingly evident: this month, there were 16 large financing events exceeding $10 million, with stablecoin ecosystems, institutional-grade tools, and compliance platforms becoming the core revenue-generating tracks.

This month, stablecoin giant Tether was extremely active, strategically investing $150 million in Gold.com and $100 million in Anchorage on February 5, demonstrating its deep layout in the infrastructure and physical asset sectors.

At the same time, BTC Inc was acquired by Nakamoto for $107 million, and Korbit received a $93.82 million acquisition increase from Mirae Asset. This marks a new round of consolidation in the industry, with traditional financial giants (such as Mirae Asset) accelerating the acquisition of compliant trading platforms.

In addition, the activity in the Japanese market surged, with Penguin Securities raising ¥2.8 billion and JPYC securing ¥1.78 billion in financing, showcasing the strength of the yen ecosystem in the fields of compliant stablecoins and securitization.
