Katie Haun’s Venture firm Haun Ventures has raised $1 billion across new funds to continue investing in crypto, blockchain, and the evolving financial ecosystem.
Founded by former Andreessen Horowitz partner Katie Haun, the firm is doubling down on its strategy of backing founders building next-generation financial infrastructure.
A Defining Moment For Finance And Technology
Haun described the current landscape as one of the most transformative periods in both finance and technology, driven by rapid shifts in how assets, markets, and trust systems are structured.
From digital assets becoming a multi-trillion-dollar class to the explosive growth of stablecoins—now processing transaction volumes rivaling Visa and Mastercard—the foundations of global finance are being rebuilt.
At the same time, both neobanks and traditional financial institutions are beginning to tokenize assets, enabling global access from day one.

Three Core Areas Of Focus
Haun Ventures is concentrating its investments around three major themes:
1. Rebuilding Financial Infrastructure
The core systems behind payments, banking, capital markets, and custody are being redesigned for a digital-first, always-on world. This shift reduces reliance on intermediaries and replaces legacy systems with more efficient, scalable technologies.
2. The Rise Of Tokenized Assets And New Markets
Tokenization is expanding beyond stablecoins into securities, commodities, and real-world assets. Markets for assets like gold and oil are increasingly moving on-chain, while entirely new categories—such as prediction markets—are gaining traction among both retail and institutional users.
3. The Agent-Driven Economy
AI agents are expected to play a growing role in economic activity, handling transactions, subscriptions, and decision-making autonomously. This shift will require entirely new systems for identity, trust, payments, and risk management—built specifically for machine-to-machine interactions.
Investing At The Edge Of Innovation And Regulation
Operating at the intersection of emerging technology and regulation remains a key part of the firm’s strategy. Haun highlighted that founders in this space must navigate uncertainty while building trust with both institutions and users.
Her own background—including time at the U.S. Department of Justice and as a board member at Coinbase—has shaped the firm’s approach to supporting companies working in complex regulatory environments.
Backing The Next Generation Of Founders
Haun Ventures has previously supported companies such as Anchorage Digital, GitHub, and Block Inc. (formerly Square).
With this new $1 billion raise, the firm is positioning itself to continue backing entrepreneurs building the infrastructure, markets, and systems that could define the next era of the global economy.
As Haun puts it, the biggest opportunities lie with founders willing to operate where rules are still being written—and where the future of finance is actively taking shape.
