Oh. My. God. The first week of February 2026 just went full-on crypto bonkers, darling. We’re talking $251.9 million in VC funding across 12 projects. That’s more than Bridget Jones spends on Chardonnay in a year. Leading the pack? Anchorage Digital, snagging a cool $100 million. Backed by Tether, no less. Fancy.

  • Crypto VC funding hit $251.9M across 12 projects, Feb. 1-7, 2026. (That’s a lot of shoes, people.)
  • Anchorage Digital: $100M. Tether’s involved. Fancy.
  • TRM Labs: $70M. Because fighting crime with blockchain is so hot right now.

Let’s dive into this crypto funding frenzy, shall we? (Spoiler: It’s more dramatic than Mark Darcy’s sweater collection.)
