a16z Crypto, Haun and Founders Fund announced almost $10B fresh capital in new funds



Over the past week, three prominent VCs have unveiled new funds totalling more than $9.2B in committed capital.

• @a16zcrypto: $2.2B (Crypto Fund 5)
This is 16z's fifth dedicated crypto vehicle, bringing total committed crypto capital to $9.8B across all five funds. Fund 5 is 100% dedicated to crypto, targeting stablecoins, payments, prediction markets, perpetual futures, lending, and tokenized assets.

• @HaunVentures: $1B (Second Fund)
Fund is split evenly between $500M early-stage and $500M later-stage capital, to be deployed globally over the next 2–3 years. The strategy targets three pillars: crypto financial infrastructure, tokenization, and AI agents - what Katie Haun calls the "new economy."

• @foundersfund: $6B (Largest Fund in Firm's History)
Founders Fund's largest haul in its 20-year history and the fastest succession ever - raised less than a year after its prior $4.6B fund. $4.5B came from LPs (including sovereign wealth funds), with another $1.5B from Peter Thiel and senior staff themselves. The fund will deploy across ~12 mature companies over 2–3 years, focused on AI, defense tech, and fintech infrastructure.
