Singapore is strengthening its position as Southeast Asia’s main destination for blockchain investment, with new data showing the city-state commands the vast majority of regional funding. Its blockchain sector also hosts more than half of the companies tracked across the region, reinforcing its role as a major hub for the industry. That dominance reflects Singapore’s broader lead in Southeast Asian startup funding.
Blockchain capital concentrates
Tracxn tracks 3,957 blockchain companies across Southeast Asia, with 2,285 based in Singapore. That gives the city-state roughly 58% of the regional total, spanning cryptocurrency services, digital asset infrastructure, blockchain technology and decentralised application development.
Investment shows an even sharper imbalance. Singapore secured 82.5% of the blockchain equity capital recorded by Tracxn across Southeast Asia, leaving only a small share for the rest of the region. Deal activity provides another sign of Singapore’s importance to the sector. Tracxn also highlighted SBI Group’s purchase of Singapore-based crypto platform CoinHako among Southeast Asia’s notable blockchain deals in 2026.
Startup funding follows
Singapore’s blockchain strength reflects a much broader concentration of investment in the city-state. Separate DealStreetAsia-Kickstart Ventures figures show Singapore companies attracted US$4.2 billion in equity funding during 2025, equal to 78.1% of Southeast Asia’s total deal value.
Activity accelerated sharply toward the end of the year. Funding value reached US$2.99 billion in the second half of 2025, rising more than 147% from US$1.21 billion during the first six months.
Large rounds helped drive that increase, including Thunes’ US$150 million Series D and Princeton Digital Group’s US$1.30 billion raise. Taken together with the latest blockchain figures, the numbers underline how strongly Southeast Asian investment capital has become concentrated in Singapore.
