Our annual African Blockchain Report offers a data-rich view into the continent’s position within the global blockchain ecosystem. Key report highlights include: 🔹 African blockchain startups raised $90.1 million across 28 deals in 2025, as total capital deployed declined 26.6% year-on-year 🔹 Africa's share of global blockchain deal activity climbed to a record 2.8%, signalling sustained early-stage innovation 🔹 Centralised blockchain services dominated segment wise, capturing 67.9% of all blockchain capital deployed on the continent 🔹 Geographically, Pan-African startups led with 57.2% of total funding secured, followed by South Africa (21.1%) and Nigeria (13.5%) 🔹 Seed stage deals dominated the African blockchain venture funding landscape, accruing 45.8% of total funding across 13 deals "Africa is not an emerging blockchain market. It is an arriving one," said Mathias Ruch, CEO of CV VC. "While global capital is consolidating around fewer, larger bets, Africa is widening the innovation frontier, integrating blockchain into essential economic infrastructure because necessity and foresight are driving its effective use."
