Stablecoins and blockchain use cases remain key focuses for 2025 crypto investments.

Haun Ventures, a venture capital firm, is reportedly seeking to raise $1 billion for two new crypto-focused investment funds. According to sources cited by Fortune Crypto on March 21, the firm plans to allocate $500 million to early-stage crypto projects and another $500 million to late-stage investments. The fundraising round is expected to close by June, marking one of the largest efforts in the crypto space over the past two years.

It was founded in 2022 by Katie Haun, a former federal prosecutor, and Coinbase board member. Haun Ventures has quickly established itself as a key player in the crypto investment landscape. The firm’s leadership team includes former executives from Airbnb, Coinbase, and Google’s tech incubator Jigsaw. While the new fundraising target is lower than the $1.5 billion raised in its debut round in 2022, the firm expects the funds to be oversubscribed, reflecting strong investor confidence.

The decision to reduce the amount to be raised is a result of a shift in market conditions which has been evident since the highs recorded in the year 2021. However, Haun Ventures is positive that the sector will not suffer from the marked yearly changes and will continue to gain popularity. The recent push towards crypto fundraising is in line with other market leaders such as Paradigm and Pantera Capital also looking for huge funds for blockchain and digital asset investment in 2024.

Crypto Investments by Haun Ventures

Haun Ventures has also been involved in funding rounds for instance, it invested $70 million in crypto asset management firm Bitwise. Other members in the round were Electric Capital, MassMutual, and MIT Investment Management Company as for other details of the new funds, it also has not been described. However, the market analysts consolidated that stablecoins and other fundamental use cases will continue to be the key priorities of the digital assets investment by 2025.

Deng Chao from HashKey Capital said that stablecoins were one of the most solid crypto applications in 2024. However, the market analyst known as Infinity Hedge also revealed a pattern that showed Crypto Venture Capital investment would increase in 2025 but wouldn’t approach the peak which was recorded in 2021 as a bull market. VC crypto funding in 2021 reached $33.8 billion, while in 2024, it reached $13.6 billion.

Similarly, Haun Ventures’ experience serves as an example of the crypto business’s adaptability and the possibility to expand in the future. This round of funding will be particularly crucial to measure the institutional confidence in the crypto market.
