According to a newly released report, Swiss companies attracted nearly half of the venture capital in the European crypto industry, further solidifying Switzerland's leading position in the blockchain ecosystem in Europe. The study shows that Switzerland's Crypto Valley secured 47% of Europe's crypto venture capital in 2025, totaling $728 million, a 37% increase from last year. Currently, there are over 1,760 blockchain companies operating in the region, most of which are located in Zurich and Zug, with companies in Zug accounting for nearly 40%. The population in the region has grown by 134% since 2020, with Zug being the main contributor to this growth. At present, the total valuation of the top 50 companies has reached $467 billion, setting a historical high for the ecosystem. Additionally, the largest single deal was the $400 million financing obtained by TON, followed by Sygnum Bank's $58 million and M^0's $40 million. The research also noted that while the number of funding rounds has decreased, the size of individual investments has significantly increased, indicating that investors are becoming more selective about potential projects. Furthermore, as crypto technology continues to evolve, the industry's focus is gradually shifting from financial products to solutions that promote the widespread application of blockchain. This indicates the foundational role of crypto technology in the broader digital economy, not just limited to the cryptocurrency sector. This trend is supported by Swiss authorities, with Zug investing over $50 million to promote related research.
