Crypto venture capital is expanding its investment scope to areas such as AI and robotics.

According to Bloomberg, as AI, robotics, and prediction markets attract more capital, crypto venture capital funds are gradually expanding their investment scope. Paradigm’s latest $1.2 billion fund will invest in cutting-edge technologies such as AI and robotics as well as the crypto space. New funds recently raised by Framework Ventures and Haun Ventures also cover AI, robotics, energy, and Agent sectors. Galaxy Research data shows that crypto venture capital investment in the first quarter of 2026 was about $4 billion, down about 50% quarter-over-quarter, with the number of newly established funds falling to the lowest since the third quarter of 2020. During the same period, Crunchbase data shows that AI startups accounted for about 70% of global venture capital funding in the second quarter. Industry insiders believe that as the crypto industry gradually integrates into the traditional financial system, the competitive advantage of focusing on crypto investments is weakening.

Haun Ventures is also betting on energy, suggesting that computing power costs are the ultimate battleground.

New low since Q3 2020, fundraising winter, but good projects can still break out.

They call it diversification, but it's really about survival. Let's see who's still around when the AI bubble bursts.
