Venture capital heavyweight Blockchain Capital is now seeking $700 million for two new funds, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. This dual strategy targets its seventh early-stage fund and a second growth fund simultaneously, building on its existing portfolio of over $2 billion in assets under management.
The firm is already deploying some capital, recently leading a $12 million round for Paxos Labs. Consequently, this positions Blockchain Capital as a top player with investments in Coinbase, 1inch, Aave, and stablecoin giants Circle and Tether. Meanwhile, crypto venture funding has been highly volatile this year.
Industry data shows funding climbed to $2.42 billion in March before dropping to about $466 million in April. However, a recent JP Morgan analysis indicates crypto accounted for 45% of all fintech investment year-to-date. This resurgence coincides with broader institutional adoption, including public companies holding significant Bitcoin and the launch of new leveraged crypto ETFs.
