Haun Ventures Raises $1B to Expand Into AI and Crypto Infrastructure Investing

New Fund Targets Crypto, Tokenization, and AI Agents

Haun Ventures has raised $1 billion to support early and late stage investments across crypto and emerging artificial intelligence markets, marking its first major expansion beyond a pure crypto focus.

Founder Katie Haun said the firm will concentrate on crypto financial infrastructure, tokenized assets, and AI-driven systems, describing these areas as the foundation of a “new economy.” The strategy reflects growing convergence between blockchain-based finance and autonomous digital systems.

AI Agents Driving Future Economic Activity

A central theme of the fund is the rise of AI agents—software systems capable of independently executing tasks and financial transactions. Haun noted that such systems will increasingly conduct economic activity on behalf of users, requiring redesigned infrastructure for payments, identity verification, fraud prevention, and credit systems.

Industry projections suggest rapid expansion in this space, with AI agent transactions expected to scale significantly in the coming years.

Venture Capital Shift Toward AI and Tokenization

The move aligns with broader venture capital trends, as AI startups captured a dominant share of global funding in early 2026. At the same time, tokenization is gaining traction as traditional financial assets move toward blockchain-based settlement models.

Haun Ventures’ dual focus highlights the growing overlap between artificial intelligence and decentralized financial infrastructure in shaping future digital markets.
