US FinTech deal activity fell by 15% YoY
In 2025, the US FinTech market recorded a modest recovery in funding, although deal activity continued to decline compared to last year.
The sector completed 2,112 deals, representing a 15% decrease from the 2,492 deals recorded in 2024 and a significant 79% decline compared with the 10,218 deals completed in 2021.
Total funding reached $52.1bn, marking a slight 2% increase from the $51bn raised in 2024, but still a substantial 74% decrease from the $203.1bn recorded in 2021.
While capital deployment showed early signs of stabilisation, overall transaction volumes remain well below the peak levels seen earlier in the decade.
Californian firms secured a third of all the US FinTech deals to dominate the marketplace in 2025
At the state level, California remained the most active FinTech hub in 2025 with 698 deals (33% share), representing a 9% decrease from 764 deals (31% share) in 2024.
New York followed with 429 deals (20% share), a 5% decline from 451 deals (18% share) in the previous year.
Florida ranked third with 124 deals (6% share), down 15% from 146 deals (6% share) in 2024.
Despite the fall in deal volumes across all three leading states, both California and New York increased their share of total activity, indicating a continued concentration of FinTech investment within these key markets.
