Key Highlights:
- Private company financing volume totaled nearly $14 billion, growing 50% year-over-year, boosted by crypto exchange Binance's announcement of a $2 billion investment from MGX, marking the largest crypto financing deal ever.
- Early-stage activity continued at a strong pace in Q1, with median round sizes growing over 2024 levels across Seed, Series A and Series B.
- Alongside significant activity in the Crypto & Blockchain space, the Financial Management Solutions sector, which includes Office of the CFO and GRC companies, was by far one of the most active, with financing volume increasing more than 2x year-over-year due to large capital raises for companies including Regnology, Deel, Mercury and TravelPerk.
- Quarterly M&A deal count hit a record level in Q1, with 437 transactions and $56 billion in volume driven by pent-up strategic demand – more than 90% of acquisitions were by strategic buyers.
- All eyes were on Klarna and eToro, both of which filed for US IPOs in March, as the industry eagerly awaited the next big FinTech IPO. Both companies ultimately decided to delay during the market volatility in the first week of April.
