Haun Ventures is raising a $1 billion fund for the intersection of crypto agents and artificial intelligence

Haun Ventures announced Monday that it has done just that Raised $1 billion in new capitala big bet that global finance infrastructure is on the verge of a structural overhaul driven by digital assets and artificial intelligence.

The firm, led by Katie Haun — a former Justice Department prosecutor who later served as an independent director at Coinbase and a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz — has identified three areas it plans to prioritize with the new funds: next-generation financial infrastructure, new tokenized assets and markets, and the agent economy, where artificial intelligence systems increasingly transact on behalf of humans.

“I’ve been following asset flows my entire career, and this is the most dynamic period in technology and finance I’ve ever witnessed,” Hawn wrote. “Founders rethinking financial assets and markets have always had to be bold. They operate in spaces where the rules are unstable, incomplete, or simply unwritten — in short, they shape the boundaries. This means they need partners who understand the technology and the regulatory landscape surrounding it.”

The announcement comes as digital assets have grown into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class, and stablecoin transaction volumes have risen to double-digit trillions in 2025, a figure the company said is approaching the combined volume of Visa and MasterCard.

Haun Ventures argues that the convergence of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence and easing regulatory headwinds have created an unusually fertile moment for founders working in financial services. The company pointed to the tokenization of real-world assets — currencies, securities and commodities like gold and oil — as a trend poised to open up global liquidity pools unfettered by regional infrastructure.

The company also pointed to the emerging agent economy as a long-term structural shift. As AI agents take on an increasing share of tasks, they will need native financial pathways—payment, credit, identity verification, and fraud prevention systems—that are tailored to how machines rather than humans transact.

Hawn said Bloomberg Her company is not focused on AI, but rather wants to focus on the intersection between cryptocurrency infrastructure and AI agent technology. “We want to make AI our way,” she said.
