<b>Haun Ventures Unveils $1 Billion Fund for Next-Gen Financial System</b>

Haun Ventures, a venture capital firm, has unveiled a $1 billion fund aimed at supporting innovative initiatives in the financial sector. The new fund is set to focus on three key areas: services for the new financial infrastructure, including crypto and other technologies; digitalization of assets and markets, including tokenization and on-chain digitization; and the agentic economy.

According to Katie Haun, founder and CEO of Haun Ventures, this marks a significant shift in the firm's investment strategy. Unlike its previous $1.5 billion fund launched in 2022, which focused almost exclusively on crypto and Web3 initiatives, this new fund is designed to bridge the gap between emerging technology and legacy finance.

The agentic economy, an area of focus for Haun Ventures, refers to the use of software structures such as artificial intelligence to support economic activity. Haun believes that these software structures will need layers of support, presenting investment opportunities to adapt current networks to fit in the new AI-led world.
