Overview
- Haun Ventures said it raised $1 billion to invest in next‑generation financial infrastructure, tokenized real‑world assets, and systems that let AI agents handle payments and other transactions.
- The firm describes AI agents as software that acts for users and says these bots will need built‑for‑machines systems for payments, identity checks, credit, and fraud prevention.
- Tokenization sits at the core of the plan by moving assets like currencies, securities, gold, and oil onto blockchains so they become borderless, always available, and programmable.
- As proof of demand, the firm points to stablecoin transfers that it says reached the double‑digit trillions in 2025 and to new agent‑payment tools from OKX, x402’s Agentic.market, and MoonPay’s virtual card.
- Founder Katie Haun says the focus stays on crypto’s intersection with AI rather than a broad AI push, building on a prior $1.5 billion fund and exits that included Stripe buying Bridge and Mastercard buying BVNK.
