Global WealthTech deal activity dropped by 47% YoY in 2025
In 2025, the global WealthTech market experienced a further contraction in both funding and deal activity, extending the sharp correction seen since 2021.
The sector recorded 809 deals, representing a 47% decrease from the 1,533 deals completed in 2024 and a steep 90% decline compared with the 7,959 deals recorded in 2021.
Total funding fell to $10.8bn, marking a 44% decrease from $19.2bn in 2024 and a substantial 92% drop from the $133.8bn raised in 2021.
This continued downturn highlights the sustained reset in global WealthTech investment levels, with both capital deployment and transaction volumes remaining significantly below peak cycle levels.
US retained its position as the main WealthTech hub globally as companies based in the country secured 45% of all deals
From a geographic perspective, the US remained the dominant WealthTech market globally in 2025, recording 363 deals (45% share), although this represents a 37% decrease from 572 deals (37% share) in 2024.
India ranked second with 78 deals (10% share), declining 19% from 96 deals (6% share) in the previous year, while the UK placed third with 74 deals (9% share), down 39% from 121 deals (8% share) in 2024.
Despite the drop in absolute deal numbers across all three markets, each country increased its share of global deal activity, indicating a growing concentration of WealthTech investment within these leading ecosystems.
Groww, an Indian-based WealthTech platform enabling users to invest in stocks, ETFs, and IPOs, secured one of the biggest WealthTech deals of the year with a $202.3m private equity funding round
GIC and ICONIQ Capital took part in the funding round, valuing the company at $7bn.
The funding follows a sharp 3.5x increase in valuation since last year and comes as Groww prepares for its public listing.
The capital will be deployed to scale its core investment platform, expand the reach of its subsidiaries, and further enhance its technology-driven solutions for retail investors.
Founded in 2017, Groww has achieved profitability in FY25 with a profit after tax of $212.1m, driven by a 30% jump in operating revenue to $448m.
This growth underscores the platform’s strong market traction and its position as one of India’s leading digital wealth management players.
