According to statistics from the Web3 asset data platform RootData, the total amount in the crypto primary market in March 2026 was approximately $2.58 billion, a significant increase of 286.3% compared to $644 million in February. DeFi, CeFi, and infrastructure were the top three sectors in terms of financing amounts, with $1.655 billion, $320 million, and $270 million, respectively. A total of 62 project financing events were disclosed this month, nearly the same as last month.

Additionally, the top three projects by financing amount were the on-chain prediction market Kalshi ($1 billion), the decentralized prediction platform Polymarket ($600 million), and the listed mining company [Eightco Holdings](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/Eightco Holdings, Inc.?k=MzUyMg== "blockchain technology company (NASDAQ: OCTO)") ($125 million). Both Kalshi and Polymarket belong to the prediction market sector, with a total financing of $1.6 billion, accounting for 64.3% of the total disclosed amount for the month, making the prediction market the strongest single narrative this month.

It is worth noting that if the 12 merger and acquisition events that occurred this month (involving an amount of approximately $1.857 billion, primarily the acquisition of BVNK by Mastercard for $1.8 billion) are included in the statistics, the total broad financing amount in the crypto market for March would reach approximately $4.279 billion, with mergers and acquisitions contributing over 40%. The trend of traditional institutions accelerating the integration of the crypto sector was particularly prominent this month.

In addition, [Coinbase Ventures](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Investors/detail/Coinbase Ventures?k=MjE5)、[Animoca Brands](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/Animoca Brands?k=MzgzOA== "Web3 game development and venture capital company")、[Big Brain Holdings](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Investors/detail/Big Brain Holdings?k=MjU2) were tied as the most active investors in March, each disclosing 4 investments.

According to the RootData data co-construction plan, there were still some financing events this month whose amounts could not be included in the statistics. The payment sector project Tazapay completed its Series B1 financing, and the infrastructure project Pharos Network also disclosed that it received financing, but neither disclosed specific financing amounts, with data for Pharos Network temporarily marked as questionable and pending verification.
