Haun Ventures: $1 Billion In New Funds Announced To Back Digital Assets And Agentic Economy Startups

By Amit Chowdhry • May 6, 2026

Haun Ventures announced $1 billion in new funds to support founders building infrastructure and applications across digital assets, financial technology, tokenized markets, and the emerging agentic economy.

The announcement was made by Katie Haun, founder and CEO of Haun Ventures, who said the current transformation underway in finance and technology represents one of the most dynamic periods in the evolution of global capital markets.

According to the firm, founders operating at the intersection of technology and regulation are reshaping how financial assets, payments, banking, insurance, identity, and markets function in a digital-first world. Haun Ventures said these entrepreneurs require investors who can understand both emerging technologies and evolving regulatory frameworks.

The company identified three primary areas of focus for the new funds: modern financial infrastructure, tokenized assets and markets, and the growth of the agentic economy powered by autonomous AI systems.

Haun Ventures said the global financial system is increasingly being rebuilt around digital, borderless, and always-on infrastructure, reducing reliance on intermediaries and legacy systems. The firm also pointed to the rapid rise of tokenization, with currencies, securities, commodities, and derivatives increasingly moving on-chain as programmable financial assets.

The firm noted that stablecoin transaction volumes reached double-digit trillions of dollars in 2025, approaching the combined transaction volumes of Visa and Mastercard. Haun Ventures also highlighted growing adoption of prediction markets and perpetual futures among both retail and institutional users.

In addition, the company emphasized the long-term significance of the “agentic economy,” where AI agents increasingly conduct economic activity on behalf of users. According to Haun Ventures, this shift will require new infrastructure for payments, trust, identity, fraud prevention, insurance, reputation, and verification systems designed specifically for autonomous digital agents.

Haun said the company’s investment team combines expertise in distributed systems, cryptography, finance, security, and regulatory navigation, drawing from experiences supporting companies including Coinbase, Anchorage Digital, GitHub, and Square.
