Haun Ventures Bets Big on Crypto and AI With New Billion-Dollar Fund

Haun Ventures has closed a $1 billion capital raise to support crypto companies across early and growth stages. In addition, it has made its initial entry into the artificial intelligence sector.

The firm plans to deploy the new fund across crypto financial infrastructure, tokenization, and emerging AI agent systems, all of which founder Katie Haun describes as core pillars of a “new economy.”

Haun, a former U.S. federal prosecutor turned venture capitalist, said rapid changes in capital flows, commerce, and trust systems are reshaping the tech-finance landscape. She argued that founders who can operate across these converging domains will define the next era of innovation.

The expansion comes as more crypto-focused venture firms move into AI, reflecting growing overlap between the two sectors. It also arrives amid a surge in AI investment: startups in the space attracted a record $242 billion in venture capital in Q1 2026, accounting for roughly 80% of global VC activity, which reached an all-time high of $300 billion, according to Crunchbase data.
