Privacy-Focused Crypto Infrastructure Sees Over $1 Billion in Funding

Arc, Canton, and Tempo have collectively raised over $1 billion, highlighting a growing interest in privacy-centric cryptocurrency infrastructure. According to NS3.AI, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan noted that this trend reflects increasing demand in the sector. Circle recently secured $222 million for Arc, valuing it at $3 billion, while Digital Asset is reportedly raising $300 million for Canton, with a valuation of $2 billion. Hougan attributed this surge in institutional support to clearer U.S. regulations following the passage of the Genius Act in 2025, which has bolstered confidence in the market.
