European WealthTech deal activity plummeted by 71% YoY in H1
In H1 2025, the European WealthTech industry showed signs of recovery after a sharp contraction in late 2024.
The sector secured $1.1bn across 84 deals, representing a 69% increase in funding compared to the $661m raised in H2 2024.
However, funding remained down 71% from the $3.8bn recorded in H1 2024.
Deal activity followed a similar trend, edging up 4% from 81 deals in H2 2024 but remaining 71% lower than the 285 deals completed in H1 2024.
These figures highlight that while investor appetite is beginning to return in early 2025, the market has not yet regained the strength seen in early 2024.
UK companies dominated the European WealthTech market raising almost half of all deals in the first half of the year
The UK remained the most active WealthTech market in Europe, with companies in the country completing 38 deals (45% share) in H1 2025, though this marked a 55% decline from the 84 deals recorded in H1 2024.
France ranked second with 11 deals (13% share), down 65% from 31 in the same period last year, while Germany followed with 6 deals (7% share), an 85% decline from the 39 deals completed in H1 2024.
Despite the steep declines in absolute activity, the UK strengthened its relative dominance of the European WealthTech market, accounting for nearly half of all deals in the region.
RockFi, the French WealthTech transforming private wealth management through its hybrid model of human expertise and advanced technology, secured one of the top European WealthTech deals of the first six month period with a $19.5m Series A funding round
