Crypto Fundraising’s latest report covers deals from late October through early November 2025, capturing weekly funding ecosystem activity.

Bron, a self-custody platform, secured $15 million from investors including GSR, LocalGlobe, and Fasanara Capital, reflecting rising demand for user-controlled security amid exchange collapses.
