Key Global RegTech investment stats in Q2 2026:

- Average deal value dropped 29% to $6.8m as investors grew cautious

Global RegTech funding dropped 38% YoY in Q2
Global RegTech companies raised $734.8m across 108 deals in Q2 2026.
That represents a 38% decline in funding from the $1.19bn recorded across 124 transactions in Q2 2025, with deal volumes also falling by 13% over the same period.
Against Q1 2026, the pullback is even sharper. Funding dropped 55% from $1.64bn, coupled with deal count falling from 144 to 108 transactions.
The consistent decline across both comparisons suggests a market facing genuine headwinds, with investors pulling back on both the volume and scale of their commitments to the sector.
Average deal value dropped 29% to $6.8m as investors grew cautious
The Global RegTech sector’s average deal value in Q2 2026 stood at $6.8m per transaction.
That is 29% below the $9.6m average recorded in Q2 2025, a meaningful reduction in individual deal size on a year-on-year basis.
Against Q1 2026, where the average reached $11.4m, the Q2 2026 figure is 40% lower.
Taken together with the decline in deal volumes and aggregate funding, the data paints a picture of a sector in which investor caution has deepened, with capital being deployed more sparingly and in smaller amounts than at any point during the periods covered.
Haast, an AI-powered enterprise compliance engine that automates regulatory and policy review within enterprise workflows, raised $12m in a Series A round, marking one of the biggest RegTech deals of the quarter
The round was led by Peak XV Partners, with participation from DST Global Partners, Airtree, Aura Ventures and Black Sheep Capital, bringing total capital raised to $17.1m.
The company addresses a growing operational bottleneck facing legal and compliance teams, where corporate content volumes have grown 8x to 10x as AI adoption accelerates, with compliance and legal functions estimated to spend 70% of their time on manual, repetitive tasks.
Haast embeds organisational policy, risk appetite and approval logic directly into day-to-day enterprise tools, enabling teams to automate high-volume compliance work at speed without compromising governance standards.
The company reports 4.5x revenue growth in 12 months and zero customer churn, with significant traction among Fortune 500 clients. Proceeds will be used to scale its agentic workflows, accelerate product development and expand its global enterprise footprint.
