Asian FinTech funding dropped by 19% YoY in Q3
In Q3 2025, the Asian FinTech market saw a clear pullback in overall funding compared with the previous year, although deal activity showed some recovery from the prior quarter.
The quarter recorded 117 deals, an 11% decline from the 131 deals completed in Q3 2024 but an 18% increase from the 99 deals seen in Q2 2025.
Total funding fell to $1.6bn, marking a 19% drop from the $2bn raised in Q3 2024 and a 35% decrease from the $2.5bn recorded in Q2 2025.
The average deal size in Q3 2025 reached $13.7m, down from $15.1m in Q3 2024 and significantly below the $25.1m reported in Q2 2025, pointing to a shift away from large-scale financing rounds.
Deals over $100m fell by 62% as investors tightened their purse strings
Funding patterns across deal sizes further underline this trend.
Deals under $100m totalled $1.3bn in Q3 2025, representing a 6% increase from the $1.2bn recorded in Q3 2024 and a 32% rise from the $1bn raised in Q2 2025.
In contrast, deals of $100m or more fell sharply to $278m, a 62% drop from the $726m seen in Q3 2024 and an 81% decline from the $1.5bn recorded in Q2 2025.
The steep fall in high-value activity illustrates a more cautious funding environment across Asia, with investors concentrating capital in smaller and mid-sized transactions while pulling back from major late-stage commitments.
