Framework Ventures raises $400M, expands into new tech sectors

Framework Ventures raised $400M for its fourth fund, expanding beyond crypto into AI, robotics, energy, and fintech, while continuing to support blockchain and early-stage tech projects.

Framework Ventures has closed its fourth fund, raising $400 million to back next-generation technology projects. While staying committed to the crypto sector, the firm is broadening its investment strategy to include frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, energy, and fintech. The new fund, FVIV, was oversubscribed and attracted significant support from institutional investors, including endowments and sovereign wealth funds. About half of the capital has already been deployed, with investments spanning early-stage companies, liquid digital assets, and select publicly traded securities. Framework Ventures has led a $60 million round for Mecka AI and established a $500 million credit facility tied to the Sky stablecoin ecosystem. The firm continues to focus on seed-stage investments, with a portfolio featuring Aave, Chainlink, Hyperliquid, Jito Labs, and Plasma. This move marks a strategic shift as Framework Ventures expands beyond digital assets to a broader range of emerging technologies.
