Source: FinTech Global – H1 2025 Global FinTech Top 10 Deals
The United States has solidified its dominant position in the global fintech landscape, securing 7 of the 10 largest deals in the first half of 2025. Despite an overall 38% decline in global deal numbers (1,695 deals vs 2,754 in H1 2024), the US demonstrates unprecedented capital concentration.
Global funding dropped to $44.6 billion (-16% from $53.2 billion in H1 2024), but the less severe decline compared to deal volume indicates growing investor selectivity, with capital increasingly concentrated in larger, higher-quality transactions.
The United Kingdom maintains its influence with a consistent presence in the top 10, while Australia and Malta make their debut among major deals. India, present in H1 2024, dropped out of the rankings, highlighting the geographical shift in investments.
ReliaQuest, a leader in AI-powered security operations, secured one of the semester’s largest funding rounds with $500 million, led by EQT, KKR, and FTV Capital, reaching a $3.4 billion valuation. The investment will accelerate innovation in AI-driven cybersecurity automation and international expansion.
ReliaQuest’s GreyMatter platform integrates with over 200 cybersecurity tools, using AI and automation to enhance regulatory compliance, threat detection, and incident response. With over 1,000 global customers, the platform ensures threat containment in under five minutes.
This scenario confirms the maturity of the US market and the growing importance of cybersecurity in global fintech, positioning America as the undisputed leader in fintech innovation and investment attraction.
