Overview
Despite a sharp crypto market drawdown and a bout of volatility that pushed Bitcoin toward $60,000, venture funding continued to flow in early February. Multiple reports point to roughly a quarter-billion dollars raised across crypto companies and projects during Feb. 1–7, led by a $100 million strategic round for Anchorage Digital and a $70 million raise for TRM Labs, underscoring investor focus on later-stage, institution-facing infrastructure even during market stress.

Why now
- Early-February funding tallies were published as weekly roundups (Feb. 1–7).
- BTC volatility and derivatives liquidations put market stress in focus alongside deal flow.
- Anchorage Digital and TRM Labs rounds were singled out as leading raises in multiple reports.
Why it matters
- Funding resilience during drawdowns can signal where builders and capital are concentrating.
- Institution-facing rounds (e.g., custody/banking, compliance) can shape market infrastructure.
- Volatility context matters: funding headlines landed alongside large liquidations and BTC weakness.
