IPOs, Venture Rounds and On-Chain Credit

Venture capital and institutional money are flowing back into digital asset companies at the start of 2026, with industry data showing $1.4 billion committed across venture rounds and public market listings.

The largest transactions included Visa-linked stablecoin issuer Rain, which reached a $1.9 billion valuation after raising $250 million, and crypto custodian BitGo’s $200 million-plus IPO on the New York Stock Exchange in January.

While crypto markets remain under pressure following October’s broad-based liquidation that wiped out billions in leveraged positions across centralized and decentralized markets, institutional engagement in the sector continues to build.

This edition of VC Roundup covers traditional venture raises, blockchain-focused funds and a notable onchain credit transaction that points to broader shifts in how capital is moving through the industry.

Galaxy completes $75 million onchain credit deal on Avalanche

While not a venture funding round, the transaction is notable because Galaxy operates an active venture business and invests heavily in crypto startups. The deal points to growing institutional comfort with running core financial activity onchain, a shift that could influence where venture capital flows next.

Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules

Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules

The post Treasury opens comment period on GENIUS Act stablecoin rules appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Department of the Treasury has issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to begin implementing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act. The measure invites public comments for 30 days following publication in the Federal Register, with submissions viewable on Regulations.gov. The Treasury is seeking input on consumer protection, illicit finance, financial stability, and compliance obligations for stablecoin issuers, as it develops the first formal regulations under the new law. The GENIUS Act, passed earlier this year, marked the first major US legislation focused specifically on payment stablecoins. It directs the Treasury to create a regulatory framework that balances innovation with oversight. This effort follows the Treasury’s August 18 request for comment on detecting illicit activity involving digital assets, which remains open until October 17. While the current notice does not impose new obligations, it signals a pivotal stage in translating the GENIUS Act into enforceable policy.

USDT leads with more than $84 billion deployed on Ethereum, followed by USDC at $47 billion.  Emerging stablecoins such as USDe and USDf have shown sharp growth, expanding their supply by over $141 million and $38 million respectively in recent reporting periods.
