Crypto Fundraising: Who Raised How Much This Week?

The first week of November kept Web3 investors busy, and no, it wasn’t just with meme coins.

From decentralized AI infrastructure to stablecoin-powered finance and even biotech firms stacking digital treasuries, the funding flow showed a mix of pragmatism and experimentation.

The AI-crypto overlap is maturing, Solana infra continues to evolve, and legacy industries are edging further into digital assets. Here’s who raised what, and why it matters.

Top crypto fundraises this week

Semantic Layer: $5 million

Semantic Layer secured $5 million in a Series A led by Greenfield Capital to develop decentralized AI agents for on-chain execution.

Following an earlier $3 million seed, the startup is building infrastructure that connects autonomous systems directly to smart contracts. The goal: reliable, verifiable AI automation without centralized gatekeepers.

Capybobo: $8 million

Web3 collectibles seem to not be done yet. Capybobo raised $8 million in a strategic round led by Pluto Vision Labs, with Animoca and HashKey participating.

The company is fusing physical toy collecting with NFT ownership, positioning itself between mainstream fandom and crypto culture.

DeepSafe: $3 million

DeepSafe raised $3 million in a seed round led by Antalpha Ventures to verify AI outputs using on-chain cryptography.

As AI content floods Web3, trust layers like DeepSafe could help projects authenticate machine-generated data and models before they go live.

MoonClash: $100 million

Gaming keeps drawing massive checks. MoonClash, an AI-powered tower defense title on BNB Chain, closed a $100 million strategic round from Candaq and Becker Ventures.

The project integrates real-time AI combat and tokenized rewards, pushing toward the next phase of Web3 gaming where user skill, automation, and ownership intersect.

Metalpha:  $12 million

Metalpha brought in $12 million in strategic funding from Gortune and Avenir to expand crypto derivatives and wealth-management tools for institutions.

As volatility returns to markets, Metalpha is building the financial infrastructure that lets traditional investors access hedged exposure to digital assets.

Liquid: $7.6 million

Paradigm led a $7.6 million seed for Liquid, a perpetuals aggregator connecting liquidity across DEXes and delivering a mobile-first trading experience.

The platform aims to bridge the gap between centralized-exchange speed and DeFi custody, a bet that retail and pro traders alike want both performance and self-sovereignty.

Standard Money: $8 million

Standard Money raised $8 million in a strategic round backed by Gate.io and Crypto.com to develop USDsd, its algorithmic stablecoin on BNB Chain.

Although algorithmic stables have a checkered past, Standard Money claims a more transparent, reserve-anchored model to avoid the failures of earlier designs.

Kapkap: $10 million

Kapkap secured $10 million led by Animoca and Shima Capital to power its AI-driven attention economy platform. With 1.7 million monthly active users, Kapkap is building tools to measure and monetize user engagement on-chain, a growing sector as social apps seek fairer value distribution for creators.

HEALTH: $2.5 million

HEALTH closed a $2.5 million seed from Gemhead and Castrum to develop an AI-powered health app that tokenizes user wellness data. Its “health-to-earn” mechanic rewards activity and biometric tracking with on-chain tokens — a risky concept but a sign that Web3 wellness products are still attracting capital.

Harmonic: $6 million

Harmonic raised $6 million in a seed round led by Paradigm to improve Solana’s block-building architecture. Its open system lets validators source blocks from multiple builders, reducing latency and centralization risks.

Ripple: $500 million

Ripple secured $500 million at a $40 billion valuation from Fortress and Citadel to expand its enterprise blockchain services and stablecoin initiatives.

Once the poster child for regulatory battles, Ripple is now positioning itself as the most institutionally friendly bridge between banks and digital assets.

Future: CHF 28 million ($32 million USD)

Swiss-based Future raised CHF 28 million to offer Bitcoin treasury management for institutions. Led by Fulgur Ventures, the round highlights how corporates and funds are literally formalizing BTC as a balance-sheet asset rather than a speculative play.

Zynk: $5 million

Zynk raised $5 million from Hivemind and Coinbase Ventures to develop Web3 payment infrastructure for instant cross-border settlements. By combining fiat rails with stablecoin liquidity, Zynk is targeting the enterprise segment that needs speed without compliance headaches.

Tharimmune: $540 million

In one of the largest raises of the year, biotech firm Tharimmune secured $540 million in a private placement led by DRW and Liberty City.

Originally an immunology company, it’s now building a crypto treasury model around its Canton Coin initiative, proof that the biotech-meets-blockchain trend is only getting bigger.

Donut: $22 million

Donut raised $22 million across pre-seed and seed rounds from Sequoia China and BITKRAFT to build an AI-powered browser for crypto transactions. The platform basically  integrates agent functions to analyze contracts and guard against scams

Dare Market — $2 million

Get this, Dare Market lets people bet on whether strangers online will follow through on stunts, challenges, and dares, all powered by Solana smart contracts.

The platform closed a $2 million round led by Karatage and Paper Ventures for its social platform that gamifies viral challenges.

Meta summary

This week’s funding flow shows how crypto and AI continue to merge. From Semantic Layer’s on-chain autonomy to Donut’s agentic browser, automation and verification are emerging themes.

At the same time, stablecoin infrastructure and institutional treasuries, from Zynk to Future, show a pivot toward real-world use and regulatory acceptance. Even biotech’s massive crypto treasury moves reflect a broader shift: digital assets as part of corporate strategy, not just speculation.

Final thoughts

So far, it’s clear AI is no longer a buzzword, and now  it’s becoming core to crypto infrastructure. Legacy companies are integrating digital assets into operations, and the bridge between Web3 and traditional finance is quietly solidifying.

If these projects execute, we might look back at 2025 as the year crypto finally grew up, with AI as its co-pilot.

Until then, keep your dopamine farming responsibly under control.
