Global FinTech deal activity dropped by 24% YoY
In 2025, the global FinTech market remained well below its historic highs, although funding showed a modest recovery from the prior year.
Total investment reached $96bn, a 7% increase from the $89.7bn raised in 2024, even as deal activity continued to contract to 4,800 transactions, a 24% decline from 6,331 deals in 2024.
The scale of the longer-term downturn remains stark, with both funding and deal volumes still dramatically lower than in 2021, when the sector attracted $374.8bn across 24,003 deals, underlining how far global FinTech investment has retreated from its peak.
US firms accounted for 44% of all deals, reinforcing the country’s position as the main FinTech hub globally
The US remained the dominant FinTech market in 2025, recording 2,112 deals (44% share), although this represented a 15% decrease from the 2,492 deals (39% share) completed in 2024.
The UK ranked second with 357 deals (7% share), a 23% drop from 466 deals (7% share) the previous year, while India secured third place with 220 deals (5% share), down 20% from 274 deals (4% share) in 2024.
Despite the overall fall in deal volumes, both the US and India increased their share of global activity, indicating a growing concentration of FinTech investment within these leading markets amid the broader slowdown.
Cyera, a FinTech specialising in AI-driven data security, secured one of the biggest FinTech deals of the year with a $540m Series E funding round
The funding round was led by Georgian, Greenoaks, and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
Focused on enabling enterprises to securely adopt generative AI and large language models, Cyera’s platform allows organisations to locate, classify, and protect sensitive data across their ecosystems.
The company’s total funding now exceeds $1.3bn, doubling its valuation to $6bn less than four years after launch.
The fresh capital will be used to enhance Cyera’s product suite, drive strategic acquisitions, and expand its global presence amid rising demand for secure AI deployment.
With a 4.5x YoY increase in its Fortune 500 customer base, a recent acquisition of Trail Security to launch Omni DLP, and operations now spanning 10 countries with nearly 800 employees, Cyera is positioning itself at the forefront of responsible, enterprise-grade AI adoption.
