Centralized financial infrastructure followed closely, accounting for 12.5% of the total transactions, including exchanges, lending platforms, and other centralized cryptocurrency services. AI-centric crypto projects, as well as RWA/DePIN projects, each accounted for 7.1% of the total investment. Tool and wallet development projects accounted for 5.4% of the total transactions, while Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchain infrastructure projects accounted for only 1.8%. NFT and GameFi projects combined accounted for 1.8% of the total transactions.PANews reported on December 3rd that, according to Cryptopolitan, RootData data shows that venture capital activity in the crypto industry slowed in November 2025, with the number of publicly disclosed investment deals falling to 57, a 28% decrease month-over-month and a 41% decrease year-over-year.
