Crypto startup raised multiple rounds: 14 teams, 4 BD steps

NAUT tracks 14 crypto startups with 2 or more funding rounds dated in 2026, holding 37 round records and $538.6M of disclosed capital between them, read on 10 November 2026. When a crypto startup raised multiple rounds inside 1 year the budget is fresh and the buying committee is already assembled, which puts it at the top of a BD list, and Flying Tulip is the sharpest case here at 3 rounds for $206M.

How this list was built: on 10 November 2026, NAUT read every funding round record it holds with a 2026 announce date. That is 384 records. Grouping them by company leaves 14 live project rows carrying 2 or more, and those 14 are the list below. 8 further rows cleared the raw 2-rounds filter and came out in 3 clauses of their own: 2 rows are post-IPO and strategic treasury raises by an exchange group and a listed company rather than startup funding; 1 row pairs a real Series B with a $7B acquisition record, which is an ownership move and not a raise; and 5 project rows cleared the filter on token-listing allocation events that each sum to under $100,000. Every figure here is NAUT's own stored record of what the company raised, which is the round and not the cheque any single backer wrote. Round-level counts come from NAUT's dataset, the same data the API call at the foot of this article returns, so read the rows themselves on a company's page or through that call before you quote a total.

Which crypto startup raised multiple rounds in 2026?

All 14, ranked by the capital NAUT has stored against their 2026 rounds. Sector is NAUT's own first sector tag for the row, Rounds counts the round records dated in 2026, and Disclosed is the capital stored against those 2026 rounds.

Company	Sector	Rounds	Disclosed
Flying Tulip	DeFi	3	$206M
USD.AI	Stablecoins	3	$159.4M
Zama	Infrastructure	7	$54.8M
Velocity	Stablecoins	2	$48M
dtcpay	Payment	2	$25M
Unitas	DeFi	2	$13.4M
XMAQUINA	Launchpad	2	$12M
PERPTools	DEX	2	$8M
AIsa	AI	2	$6.5M
YOM	DePIN	3	$3.1M
Pharos Network	Infrastructure	2	$1M
FinTax	None stored	2	$0.5M
XStable	None stored	2	$0.5M
IDOs Network	DeFi	3	$0.45M

YOM carries 3 round records in 2026 and sits below AIsa here because the ranking is by disclosed capital. 2 rows, FinTax and XStable, have no sector tag stored on NAUT, which is a gap worth flagging to NAUT rather than reading as a sector.

Crypto startup raised multiple rounds: how much each one disclosed

The 2 largest rows hold $365.4M of the $538.6M, so a list sorted by size collapses into 2 accounts fast. Sorting the same 14 by round count instead puts Zama first at 7 records, which is the point of step 1.

The 4-step crypto BD playbook for a repeat fundraiser

Step 1: rank on cadence before you rank on size

A single large round tells you a company has money once. 2 rounds inside 1 year tells you it is spending against a plan and coming back for more, which is the account that answers a vendor email. Of the 14 here, 9 closed 2 rounds in 2026 and 5 closed 3 or more: Zama at 7 records, Flying Tulip, USD.AI (by Permian Labs), YOM and IDOs Network at 3 each.

Cadence and size rank differently, so run both. Zama is 3rd by capital and 1st by round count. IDOs Network is last by capital at $450,000 across 3 records, which marks it as a team raising in small public increments rather than an account with a 7-figure budget to place.

Step 2: read the round rows, never the headline total

Round totals on any aggregator are sums of rows, and rows arrive from feeds that overlap. Flying Tulip is the clearest example on this list. NAUT holds 8 investment rows for it, 4 from a funding-tracker feed with announce dates stored and 4 from a launch-calendar feed with none, and the 2 feeds carry the same sales in different shapes. Amount and Date are what NAUT stores against the row, None means the field is empty, and Feed is the funding tracker or the launch calendar.

The $206M in the table above is the sum of the 3 rows dated inside 2026, and no lifetime total is printed here, because adding all 8 rows would count the same sales twice. 3 details to carry into a call:

• The 16 February 2026 round checks out on an outside report. KuCoin's news desk headlined it "Flying Tulip Announces Public Sale of FT Token on February 16", and the $129M figure sits in the same funding breakdown.
• The $200M CoinList row is flagged here as a defect and left out of every figure in this article. An outside report puts the commitment on that CoinList sale near $10M, which is the amount the funding-tracker feed stores for it.
• Outside reports date the January sale's announcement to 20 January 2026 and the CoinList sale's close to 6 February 2026, 1 to 4 days off the dates NAUT stores, so treat a stored announce date as a week, not a day. The stored date for the seed row is empty, another gap to flag.

Zama carries the same lesson at a smaller scale: 3 of its 7 records in 2026 are allocation events of $15,000 or less, and 1 ICO record of $35M carries most of the $54.8M. 7 rounds reads like a company in permanent fundraising mode until you open the rows.

The cross-check runs the other way too. NAUT stores $48M across Velocity's 2 rows, and The Block reported 1 of them in July 2026 as a $38M Series A led by Dragonfly and FirstMark. NAUT stores $25M across dtcpay's 2 rows, and dtcpay's own newsroom announced a $10M Series A led by Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India on 17 March 2026. A report naming 1 round at a company with 2 rows explains part of the total, so quote the round rather than the sum.

Step 3: route in through the backers who already said yes

A second round in the same year means several funds have signed a cheque recently, and those funds are the shortest route into the team. NAUT's record for Flying Tulip's stored seed round names 11 backers: Susquehanna International Group, Selini Capital, CoinFund, Hypersphere Ventures, Lemniscap, FalconX, Brevan Howard Digital, DWF Labs, Nascent, 1 further fund row and 1 launch-platform row. None of the 11 is flagged as the lead on NAUT's record.

Scope that properly before you use it. 1 of Flying Tulip's 8 rows has backers on NAUT's record, and the 3 rows dated inside 2026 have none, which says what NAUT holds rather than who funded those public sales. The 2 rounds the research pass checked each named their leads in the report itself: Dragonfly and FirstMark on Velocity's Series A, Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia and India on dtcpay's. So read the stored backer list as a warm-intro map, then read the round's own press coverage for the lead.

Step 4: name the person, then pick the channel

An account is reachable when you have a name. Andre Cronje is the founder of Flying Tulip on NAUT's record, and 2 outside pages agree, 1 of them titled "Who Is Andre Cronje? Yearn Creator and Flying Tulip Founder". Each company page on NAUT lists the people it holds for that row and says which channels are on file for each of them. Work down the 14 pages in the table, take the founder or the commercial lead, and send 1 note per company rather than 1 per person. Anyone listed can ask NAUT to remove their page at https://naut.so/legal/data-deletion.

What this tells a founder raising again

• 5 of the 14 teams closed 3 or more rounds in 2026, so a second round inside a year is a pattern an investor can see on your NAUT page before your first call.
• The rows an aggregator holds for you are what a fund reads first. 8 rows across 2 feeds, as at Flying Tulip, is a story you want to be able to explain in 1 sentence.
• 2 of the 14 rows carry no sector tag on NAUT, which keeps them out of any sector screen a fund runs. Check your own row for the same gap.

Crypto startup raised multiple rounds FAQ

Which crypto startups raised multiple rounds in 2026?

NAUT holds 14 live crypto project rows with 2 or more funding rounds dated in 2026, read on 10 November 2026: Zama with 7 round records, Flying Tulip, USD.AI (by Permian Labs), YOM and IDOs Network with 3 each, and Velocity, dtcpay, Unitas, XMAQUINA, PERPTools, AIsa, Pharos Network, FinTax and XStable with 2 each. Together they hold 37 round records and $538.6M of disclosed capital.

Does a second round in the same year mean the startup has budget to spend?

It raises the odds enough to put the account at the top of a list, and the rows tell you how much. Flying Tulip's 3 rounds dated in 2026 carry $206M, while IDOs Network's 3 carry $450,000, so the same round count sits either side of any realistic deal size. Read the amount per round before you size a pitch.

How do I check whether a funding total is double counted?

Open the round rows instead of the total. NAUT holds 8 investment rows for Flying Tulip from 2 feeds that carry the same sales, which is why this article prints $206M across the 3 rows dated in 2026 and prints no lifetime figure. A $200M CoinList row with no date is flagged here as a defect against an outside report that puts that sale near $10M.

Where can I find these 14 companies and their decision makers on NAUT?

Each of the 14 has a project page on naut.so that carries its stored funding rows, its sector tags and the people NAUT lists for it, and GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/flying-tulip returns the same record for the worked example above. NAUT's data shows 37 round records across the 14 for 2026. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn for those people unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial to open the channels.
