Entrée Capital Launches $300 Million New Fund Focused on AI Agents and DePIN

Odaily Planet Daily News – Entrée Capital has recently launched a $300 million fund focused on investing in early-stage crypto and Web3 infrastructure projects. This move highlights the growing institutional interest in blockchain systems that can seamlessly interact with modern technology stacks. In a statement via email on Thursday, the company said the fund will target funding stages from pre-seed to Series A, supporting entrepreneurs building foundational layers for mainstream Web3 applications. Investment targets include AI agents capable of autonomously managing assets within crypto policy frameworks, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), and blockchain protocols that leverage token incentive mechanisms to coordinate, fund, and operate real-world infrastructure. Entrée Capital stated that its long-standing investment history in fintech and crypto—including early investments in Stripe, Rapyd, Mesh, as well as Web3 builders Gen Labs and Breez—gives it a unique advantage in supporting entrepreneurs at the intersection of regulated finance and decentralized networks. Institutional investors are currently closely monitoring the fields of AI agents and DePIN, as they represent the two fastest-growing technological pillars in the crypto-native space: artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
