Haun Ventures completes $1 billion new fund raise, expanding investment scope to AI agent sector

BlockBeats News, May 4th, according to Bloomberg, the crypto venture capital firm Haun Ventures, founded by former a16z partner Katie Haun, has successfully completed a new fundraise of approximately $1 billion, expanding its investment scope from blockchain infrastructure to the AI Agents field.

This fundraising scale is particularly notable amid the current widespread contraction of crypto VC. According to SEC disclosure documents previously obtained by Fortune, the management sizes of leading institutions such as Paradigm, Pantera, and a16z crypto have shrunk across the board by 2025, while Haun Ventures is the only fund to grow against the trend, with its assets under management increasing from an initial $1 billion to $2.5 billion.

Katie Haun served as a U.S. federal prosecutor for over ten years and established the U.S. government’s first cryptocurrency special task force, later becoming a16z’s first female partner. Her unique compliance and policy background make Haun Ventures more focused on B2B solutions that are compatible with traditional finance in its investment strategy. The fund has successfully entered the payments sector, with its lead investments in Bridge and BVNK being acquired respectively, with valuations rising from $200 million and $750 million to over $1.1 billion and $1.8 billion.

This new fund will continue its strategic layout at the intersection of crypto technology and emerging technologies, with AI Agents becoming the latest key focus area.
