Haun Ventures Raises $1 Billion for New Crypto and AI-Agent Funds

Katie Haun and Haun Ventures raised $1 billion for new venture funds announced May 4, with the firm saying the capital will back companies working on financial infrastructure, tokenized assets and software for AI agents participating in economic activity.

The Details

Haun Ventures announced the new funds in a May 4 post, framing the raise around continued investment in digital assets and the infrastructure it says is needed for a broader financial system built with crypto and software. The firm said its focus includes rebuilding financial infrastructure, tokenized assets and software that can support AI agents as participants in economic activity.

Bloomberg reported, in an interview republished by Economic Times, that the new capital is split evenly between early-stage and later-stage funds. Bloomberg also reported that the money is expected to be deployed over the next two to three years.

TechCrunch independently reported that Haun said $1 billion had been raised across new funds to keep backing crypto and blockchain startups. The TechCrunch report places the raise inside Haun Ventures' continued crypto investment strategy rather than presenting it as a move away from the sector.

PYMNTS reported that Haun is not pivoting away from crypto, but is looking at AI agents and infrastructure that improve access to financial products. In a Bloomberg interview excerpt republished by PYMNTS, Haun said, "We’re not pivoting to be an AI fund. We want to do AI that is in our lane."

Haun made a similar point in the Bloomberg interview quoted by Economic Times, tying the firm's interest in AI to its existing digital-assets work. "There are deep, transformational shifts going on within technology," Haun said. "One of those is AI; another one is digital assets."

Haun Ventures' own announcement links those themes through financial infrastructure. The firm said stablecoin volumes hit double-digit trillions in 2025 and said it sees AI agents becoming economic actors that need new financial infrastructure. Those claims are part of the firm's stated investment thesis for the new funds.

The raise gives Haun Ventures new capital for both early and later-stage startup investing, according to Bloomberg's report through Economic Times. The same report said the capital is expected to be put to work over a two-to-three-year period, giving the firm a defined deployment window for the funds announced this week.

Context

Katie Haun is a former Andreessen Horowitz general partner and former federal prosecutor who previously investigated digital assets before becoming a crypto investor, according to the Bloomberg interview republished by Economic Times. TechCrunch reported that Haun Ventures launched in 2022 with more than $1.5 billion in assets under management.

Those details make the new $1 billion raise a continuation of Haun's existing work in crypto venture investing, according to the sourced record. TechCrunch reported that the new funds will keep backing crypto and blockchain startups, while PYMNTS reported that Haun is also examining AI agents and infrastructure that improve access to financial products.

The firm's announcement describes tokenized assets, stablecoin volume and AI-agent software as connected parts of its current investment focus. Haun Ventures said stablecoin volumes reached double-digit trillions in 2025 and described AI agents as future economic actors requiring financial infrastructure.

The AI emphasis is presented by Haun as a focus inside the firm's lane, not as a replacement for crypto. PYMNTS quoted Haun saying the firm is not becoming an AI fund, while Economic Times quoted her saying AI and digital assets are both deep technology shifts.

What's Next

Bloomberg reported through Economic Times that the $1 billion is expected to be deployed over the next two to three years. That deployment timeline is the clearest sourced next step for the new capital.

Haun Ventures' announcement indicates the firm will use the new funds around financial infrastructure, tokenized assets and software for AI agents participating in economic activity. TechCrunch reported that the funds will continue backing crypto and blockchain startups.

PYMNTS reported that Haun is looking at AI agents and infrastructure that improve access to financial products while not pivoting away from crypto. The next phase of the firm's strategy, based on the sourced record, is therefore tied to deploying the new early-stage and later-stage funds within those stated areas.
