Creator-economy transactions on record, by year

Open embed

187 transactions. Coverage before 2025 is selective.

91 of 189 records are from 2026. Public trackers became more complete in 2025 and 2026, so part of the rise is better coverage.

Transactions on record by quarter, 2025 to date

Open embed

Records dated only to a quarter are counted in that quarter.

Our sources are thin for the first half of 2025, so the climb from there is partly coverage. The current quarter fills in as deals are announced and is not comparable until it closes.
