Paradigm Eyes $1.5B Fund to Push Beyond Crypto Into AI
Crypto venture giant Paradigm wants to raise $1.5 billion for a new fund targeting AI, robotics, and frontier tech.
Paradigm, one of the biggest names in crypto venture investing, is making a major bet beyond blockchain. The firm is reportedly looking to raise up to $1.5 billion for a new fund focused on frontier technology.
The target areas: artificial intelligence, robotics, and other cutting-edge tech sectors. It's a significant strategic expansion for a firm that built its reputation — and its war chest — almost entirely on crypto investments.
The move signals a broader trend among crypto-native investment firms diversifying into adjacent tech verticals. When your core market runs hot and cold on regulatory whims and token cycles, branching out makes practical sense.
At $1.5 billion, the fund would be substantial enough to make Paradigm a serious player in AI and robotics venture deals — not just a crypto tourist dipping its toes in new waters.
