Global RegTech funding grew by 73% YoY in Q3
Global RegTech investment experienced a strong resurgence between Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, recovering significantly from previous market contractions.
In Q3 2024, the sector recorded 109 deals, raising a total of $1.2bn in investment. This pace accelerated remarkably in Q3 2025, which saw 142 transactions completed and total funding swell to $2bn.
This represents a substantial growth trajectory, with deal volume increasing by 30% and the total capital raised surging by 73% YoY.
The sharp jump in investment, nearly doubling the amount raised, suggests renewed investor confidence and a potential turning point for the RegTech market, shifting from a period of caution towards expansion and greater deployment of capital across the industry.
US companies secured 90% of the top 10 deals to cement the country’s position as the leading RegTech hub globally
The geographical distribution of the sector’s largest investments further emphasised the overwhelming market dominance of the US.
In Q3 2024, the US already commanded a leading position, securing six of the top 10 deals globally.
This domination became even more pronounced in Q3 2025, where the US secured a staggering nine out of the 10 largest deals, confirming its status as the leading global hub for high-value RegTech deal-making.
Key shifts were evident in the other major players; while the UK maintained a strong presence in Q3 2024 with three top deals, alongside France which secured one, both were absent from the Q3 2025 top ten list.
In contrast, Israel successfully entered the list in Q3 2025 with one top deal, highlighting emerging geographical dynamism despite the heavy concentration of capital in North America.
