Paradigm, the venture firm launched by Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam and former Sequoia partner Matt Huang, now has $2.5 billion for placing bets on the next generation of leading crypto projects.
Paradigm announced Monday the completion of its fundraising efforts. CoinDesk reported in October that the firm was raising around $1.5 billion, according to investor documents seen at the time.

“This new fund will invest alongside our existing flagship fund across all stages and geographies,” Paradigm’s founding team said in Monday’s blog post.
The bountiful war chest suggests continued enthusiasm among well-connected crypto investors as bitcoin and ether flirt with all-time highs.
Andreessen Horowitz made waves in June when it announced a $2.2 billion fund – the largest for a crypto fund at the time. Paradigm’s latest would appear to top that.

From FTX debris to global finance: Solana’s 2026 plan is all about the application layer
Resilience built from the debris of 2022 is now shaping the Solana ecosystems future, leaders from Jupiter, Backpack, Kamino and DoubleZero argued at Consensus Hong Kong 2026.
O que saber:
- A few years after the collapse of FTX nearly took it down by association, Solana’s core builders say the network’s next phase will be defined not by survival, but by scaling into global finance.
- While Solana became known during the last cycle for memecoin mania and speculative trading, the next chapter will center on bringing more traditional finance onchain, panellists argued at Consensus Hong Kong 2026.
- Upcoming upgrades aimed at reducing latency and improving confirmation times are expected to strengthen Solana’s pitch as a high-performance, general-purpose execution layer. But the panel cautioned against complacency.
