AI-led industry allocation fuels crypto growth
Capital investment in cryptocurrency startups surged 88% month-on-month to $5.36 billion. The figure represents a larger investment than in previous months, reflecting renewed optimism in the blockchain and digital asset space. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in driving growth.
Several public and AI companies, such as MicroStrategy (MSTR), Upexi, and MEI Pharma, are actively expanding their crypto fund management strategies. These companies have acquired major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC), demonstrating the combination of a deep AI technology focus with innovative crypto asset strategies.
According to CoinMarketCap, MEI Pharma raised $100 million through a private equity offering to adopt the LTC Fund by partnering with the Litecoin Foundation and GSR. More than 145 public companies are holding about $108 billion in Bitcoin and are diversifying into other cryptocurrencies like LTC.
Key Highlights of the Cryptocurrency and AI Boom in July 2025
Bitcoin hits new record high of $122,000, thanks to unprecedented demand for ETFs, while Ethereum soars nearly 49%.
Despite an 8% drop in trading volume, companies like BlackRock and Fidelity continue to increase their investments in cryptocurrencies, especially through spot Bitcoin ETFs.
In addition to institutional adoption, cryptocurrencies have also seen significant progress in regulatory development. Significant crypto bills such as the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC State Surveillance Act were passed by the House of Representatives during crypto week.
As cryptocurrency investment and adoption rates increase, regulators like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are also developing regulations to modernize the country.
