Haun Ventures has raised $1 billion for a new fund focused on crypto and artificial intelligence startups, the firm announced this week. The fund will back companies building in tokenization, AI agents, and financial infrastructure — three areas the venture firm sees as converging. It's among the biggest venture funds targeting crypto and AI in 2026.
Tokenization at the core
Tokenization — converting real-world assets like real estate or private credit into blockchain tokens — is a central piece of the strategy. The fund plans to invest in startups that are building platforms to issue, trade, and manage these tokens. Haun Ventures has previously backed tokenization plays and sees the sector as a key on-ramp for institutional money.
AI agents enter the crypto stack
AI agents are autonomous programs that can execute tasks on behalf of users — managing wallets, placing trades, or interacting with smart contracts. The fund is looking for teams that combine large language models with on-chain execution. Haun believes this intersection is still early but could fundamentally change how people use decentralized apps.
Building the financial rails
The third pillar is financial infrastructure: payment networks, custody solutions, and settlement layers that let crypto move money around. Haun Ventures has backed infrastructure companies before, and the new fund will continue that focus, particularly for projects bridging traditional finance and crypto. The firm is now fielding pitches from founders in all three sectors.
