Haun Ventures completes $1 billion new fundraise, expanding investment scope to AI agent space

ChainCatcher reports that, according to Bloomberg, the crypto venture capital firm Haun Ventures, founded by former a16z partner Katie Haun, has successfully raised approximately $1 billion in a new fund, 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 funding.

According to SEC disclosure documents previously obtained by Fortune, the management sizes of leading institutions such as Paradigm, Pantera, and a16z crypto have all shrunk in 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 a decade and established the U.S. government’s first cryptocurrency special task force, later becoming the first female partner at a16z. 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 previously successfully invested in the payments sector, with leading investments in Bridge and BVNK, which were subsequently acquired, with valuations rising from $200 million and $750 million to over $1.1 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. The new fund will continue its strategy of crossing the boundaries between crypto technology and emerging technologies, with AI Agents becoming the latest key focus area.
