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 sector. The new funds recently raised by Framework Ventures and Haun Ventures also cover areas including AI, robotics, energy, and agents. 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 new funds falling to the lowest since the third quarter of 2020. Meanwhile, Crunchbase data shows that AI startups accounted for about 70% of global venture capital 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.
