Global FinTech deal activity fell by 31% YoY

Total funding reached $64.9bn, slipping 6% from the $69.3bn secured over the same period in 2024.
Dealmaking slowed more substantially, with 3,600 transactions recorded, marking a 31% fall compared with the 5,253 deals completed in the first three quarters of the previous year.
The figures highlight a market still adjusting to tighter capital conditions, with investors taking a more cautious and disciplined approach to deployment.
US companies secured 44% of all deals to solidify the country’s position as the main global FinTech hub
Across the leading FinTech markets, the US continued to anchor global activity in 2025, completing 1,587 deals (44% share), though this represents a 23% decline from the 2,071 deals (39% share) seen in 2024.
The UK reported 275 deals (8% share), down 27% from 378 deals (7% share) a year earlier.
India followed with 145 deals (4% share), a 40% drop from 243 deals (5% share) in 2024.
Although deal volumes fell across all three countries, each captured a slightly larger proportion of worldwide activity, indicating that these key FinTech hubs strengthened their relative positioning even as the global market contracted.
