After <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/coinshares-predicts-2025-will-bring-major-gains-for-bitcoin-and-altcoins-under-trump/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Donald Trump</a>&#39;s election victory, the cryptocurrency sector saw over $1 billion in venture capital funding. This increase shows growing trust in the industry, driven by hopes for a supportive government and clearer rules.Since the election on November 6, crypto startups have raised about $1.3 billion. November brought in $796 million, and December added $511 million. The Avalanche Foundation raised $250 million from a private token sale for its big upgrade, Avalanche9000, which focuses on improving blockchain scalability and lowering transaction costs.Infrastructure projects have drawn significant investments, exceeding $500 million, with Zero Gravity Labs and Bitcoin mining company Canaan Creative being major recipients. The DeFi sector is bouncing back, attracting over $150 million in funding, with major investments in USDX Money and World Liberty Financial.This funding surge is linked to positive feelings about Trump&#39;s possible backing for the crypto sector, which includes commitments to clarify rules and create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.His choice of pro-crypto people, like Paul Atkins for SEC chair and David Sachs as the White House crypto czar, hints at a move towards friendlier regulations.Experts think these changes could lead to more institutions getting involved and investing in the <a href="https://optimisus.com/news/crypto-news/argentinas-president-plans-tax-cuts-and-free-currency-use-including-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency market</a>, suggesting a significant time ahead that might boost both adoption and innovation in the industry.
