[Variant Completes $220 Million Fundraising for Its Fund, Betting on the Era of AI and Crypto 'Autonomous Economies'] According to Fortune, crypto-focused venture capital firm Variant has completed fundraising for its new $220 million fund, Variant 4, which will invest in projects at their earliest stages, with a focus on the theme of 'autonomy' and the integration of AI and crypto applications. Partner Jesse Walden stated that in the future, the label of 'crypto investor' will disappear, as crypto will become a universal 'underlying infrastructure' similar to the internet. The core lies in providing greater autonomy and security for users and businesses through decentralized and contract-secure architectures, supporting the development of applications including DeFi platforms like Uniswap and Morpho.
