US RegTech funding dropped by 28% YoY in 2024
In 2024, the US RegTech sector secured $5bn in funding across 228 deals, marking a 28% decline from the $7bn raised in 2023 and a 45% drop in deal volume compared to the 413 transactions recorded the previous year.
Despite this decline, the sector remains significantly larger than in 2020, when it raised $4.4bn across 389 deals.
The average deal size in 2024 stood at $22m, an increase from $16.9m in 2023 and more than double the $11.3m recorded in 2020, reflecting a trend where investors are favouring more mature RegTech companies over smaller, early-stage startups.
This shift may be driven by increasing regulatory complexity, prompting investors to focus on established firms with proven solutions rather than riskier, early-stage ventures.
Californian companies dominated the US RegTech space with four of the top 10 deals during the year
California continued to dominate the sector, securing four of the top 10 deals in both 2023 and 2024, underscoring the state’s position as a hub for regulatory technology innovation.
Washington made notable gains, increasing its presence from one top deal in 2023 to two in 2024, while New York maintained a steady presence with two top deals.
Texas and Massachusetts also featured in the 2024 rankings, similar to their presence in 2023.
However, Colorado, Maryland, and an additional New York deal from 2023 dropped off the list, indicating a shift in investor focus away from these states.
The continued strength of California and New York aligns with broader FinTech trends, while Washington’s rise suggests growing interest in regulatory technology solutions emerging from the Pacific Northwest.
