Blockchain Capital Seeks $700 Million for New Early-Stage and Growth Funds

The push signals selective bets during a shift to fewer, larger crypto deals.

Overview

  • Blockchain Capital is targeting $700 million across two vehicles, Bloomberg reported Thursday.
  • The effort comprises a seventh early-stage fund and a second growth fund with expected closes in about five to six months.
  • The firm has already begun deploying some of the new capital, and it recently led a $12 million round for Paxos Labs.
  • Blockchain Capital reports roughly $2 billion in fee-bearing assets and a portfolio valued above $6 billion, with backers that include endowments, sovereign funds, and U.S. pensions.
  • Industry data show average crypto deal sizes up nearly 50% over the past month even as April funding fell to about $466 million after March’s near $3 billion.
