Key global RegTech investment stats in 2025:
- Global RegTech funding increased by 31% YoY
- US firms secured seven of the top 10 RegTech deals in 2025 to reinforce the countries’ position as the main RegTech hub globally
- Armis, a California-based RegTech platform focused on cyber exposure management and regulatory-grade risk visibility, secured one of the biggest RegTech deals of the year with a $435m funding round
Global RegTech funding increased by 31% YoY
In full year 2025, the global RegTech sector recorded 546 transactions, representing a 23% increase from the 444 deals completed in 2024.
Alongside the rise in deal volume, total funding also strengthened materially, reaching $8.5bn in 2025 compared with $6.5bn in the previous year, an increase of 31%.
The faster growth in funding relative to deal count points to an uplift in average deal size, suggesting improved investor confidence and a greater willingness to commit larger amounts of capital to RegTech companies.
This full-year expansion contrasts with the contraction seen in parts of 2024 and indicates a broad-based recovery in investment activity across the sector.
US firms secured 70% of the top 10 RegTech in 2025 to reinforce the countries’ position as the main RegTech hub globally
The distribution of the top 10 deals shifted notably between the two years.
In 2025, the US further consolidated its leading position, accounting for seven of the top deals, up from six in 2024.
New entrants also emerged, with Israel, Australia and France each securing one top transaction, highlighting a broader international spread of large RegTech investments.
By comparison, the 2024 top 10 was more concentrated in fewer markets, with the UK securing three deals and Taiwan appearing once alongside the US.
The absence of the UK and Taiwan from the 2025 top 10, coupled with the entry of Israel and Australia, underscores a changing geographical mix at the upper end of the market and reflects the increasingly global nature of large-scale RegTech funding.
Armis, a California-based RegTech platform focused on cyber exposure management and regulatory-grade risk visibility, secured one of the biggest RegTech deals of the year with a $435m funding round
The round was led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives’ Growth Equity division alongside CapitalG and Evolution Equity Partners.
Founded in 2016, Armis has built a unified platform that delivers continuous asset discovery, compliance monitoring and real-time risk intelligence across IT, cloud and operational technology environments, enabling highly regulated organisations to meet increasingly stringent cybersecurity and operational resilience requirements.
The company recently surpassed $300m in annual recurring revenue, growing 50% year on year, and now protects more than 40% of Fortune 100 companies, including seven of the top ten, across sectors such as healthcare, financial services, manufacturing and government, where regulatory scrutiny is intensifying.
The new capital will support further product innovation, international expansion and strategic acquisitions, building on three deals completed in the past two years that have strengthened Armis’s capabilities in cloud security, AI-driven defence and operational technology, and reinforcing its position as a critical RegTech partner for enterprises managing complex compliance, risk and cyber resilience obligations in an increasingly perimeter-less and regulated digital environment.
