Venture capital firm Archetype has announced the launch of its third fund, Archetype III, a $100 million investment vehicle aimed at accelerating a founder-led future in the rapidly evolving crypto and blockchain space.

The fund arrives at a pivotal moment for the industry, as technical breakthroughs in blockchain performance are enabling sleek and mobile-first onchain applications. With blockchain throughput now rivaling traditional Web2 systems and stablecoins powering a $250 billion global payments network. Archetype said it sees fertile ground for innovation across enterprise and consumer sectors.

“Crypto is no longer just a speculative asset class—it’s becoming the foundation for next-generation infrastructure, social networks, and even AI,” the firm stated in its announcement. “We’re more excited than ever about what’s ahead.”

Archetype III builds on the success of its previous funds, which backed category-defining companies such as Privy, Monad, Hut8, Farcaster, Remix, Ritual and Relay Protocol. The firm has already begun deploying capital from the new fund into several stealth-mode startups, continuing its strategy of early conviction and deep founder support.

Known for its high-touch approach, Archetype positions itself as more than just a source of capital. “Where most funds bring safety and scale, Archetype offers edge and inevitability,” the team emphasized. The firm prides itself on being a hands-on partner, helping visionary founders shape the future of programmable technology.

Archetype made its debut in 2021 with a $55 million inaugural fund, laying the foundation for its high-conviction and founder-first investment strategy. Just a year later, amid the peak of the last crypto bull run, the firm significantly scaled its ambitions with a second fund totaling $155 million. With Archetype III, the firm aims to further cement its role as a leading force in crypto venture capital—backing bold ideas and the people who dare to build them.
