Crypto VC firm Paradigm raised $1.2B, its fourth fund, to invest in areas outside of crypto, like AI and robotics; Paradigm had $11.9B in AUM at the end of 2025 (Rebecca Torrence/Bloomberg)

Summary

Public feed summary: Paradigm raised a $1.2 billion fourth fund and plans to back companies beyond crypto, including AI and robotics.

Why it matters

A major crypto-native firm broadening into AI and robotics is a useful cross-over signal: large managers are actively reallocating attention to adjacent frontier themes.

Founder/operator read

Expect more competition for top AI and robotics deals if crossover funds keep expanding. For founders, that can mean better capital availability but also tighter diligence on traction.
