14 VCs and 17 funds investing in Onchain Finance
Investor
Castle Island Ventures
Check: No current first-party ticket range is published. Castle Island describes itself as an early-stage investor in public-blockchain infrastructure and applications; founders should confirm current stage and check expectations directly rather than relying on directory estimates.
Wyatt invests in infrastructure and applications that expand the onchain economy, with a particularly data-rich focus on stablecoin payments and DeFi market structure. His work treats stablecoins as crypto's highest-velocity global medium of exchange, asks which networks can deliver speed, cost, reliability and security, and evaluates DeFi protocols through durable revenue, collateral quality, liquidity and composable risk rather than headline TVL alone.
Investor
Blockchain Capital
Check: No personal check range or unilateral authority is publicly disclosed. Blockchain Capital is a multi-stage investor in equity and crypto assets; its September 2026 NG.CASH article announces a $15M BCAP investment, but that figure is a specific firm investment co-authored with a GP, not Anay's standard ticket.
Anay focuses on the intersection of consumer behavior and crypto. Her work favors products that hide blockchain complexity inside a trusted, culturally native experience: mobile-first financial platforms for underserved young users, stablecoins embedded in existing distribution, and portable social identity that lets communities create specialized software without restarting their networks. At seed, she weights founder character and learning velocity above a rigid initial thesis.
Partner, Marketing & Communications
UDHC
Check: Coulter has publicly said UDHC writes checks from pre-seed through Series A. A verified OpenVC firm profile lists $50K–$2M as UDHC's first-check range and says the firm sometimes leads; treat that as directory-level firm guidance rather than a Coulter-specific commitment, and confirm current size and ownership directly.
Coulter works with UDHC's early-stage onchain-finance portfolio, applying a marketing and communications lens to companies that can connect crypto-native infrastructure with the traditional financial system. The firm's public strategy emphasizes useful onchain financial products, strong user experience, regulatory awareness, transparency and a credible path toward decentralization; Coulter's specific contribution is helping technical teams turn those qualities into positioning, community and go-to-market execution.
Principal
CoinFund
Check: No standard personal ticket is published. CoinFund's 2026 articles identify the firm as lead on Trace's $32M Series A and Edge Markets' $29M Series A, with George authoring or contributing to the theses; round size is not equivalent to CoinFund's check or George's authority.
George looks for open, permissionless systems that expand financial access and remove cost, delay and gatekeeping from payments and DeFi. His writing starts with sharp workflow pain—especially cross-border settlement, prefunding, last-mile liquidity and fragmented banking rails—then tests whether stablecoins and high-throughput networks produce a simpler product for non-crypto-native users. He also tracks financial rails for prediction markets and other emerging on-chain venues.
Partner
CoinFund
Check: Personal check size is not publicly disclosed. CoinFund invests from pre-seed through Series A and in liquid digital assets across multiple strategies.
Evan applies fundamental-investing discipline to both venture and liquid crypto: identify the metrics that genuinely drive an asset, forecast them, define thesis-invalidation points in advance, and pressure-test assumptions through an authentic external network. He looks beyond equity-style valuation heuristics to community, network effects, token demand, distribution, and the new product surface enabled by open onchain economies.
Investor
Castle Island Ventures
Check: No current first-party ticket range is published. Castle Island describes an early-stage mandate around public-blockchain infrastructure and applications; no personal range or unilateral authority is claimed for Henry.
Henry brings data science and public-equity research to early-stage public-blockchain investing. His visible work concentrates on empirical stablecoin adoption and the health of DeFi markets: how collateral, incentives, risk curators, security and native-token value evolve as onchain finance shifts from subsidy-driven experimentation toward sustainable financial infrastructure.
Partner
Blockchain Capital
Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. Blockchain Capital describes itself as a multi-stage crypto investor; Yuan's public work spans seed-stage selection through later protocol and company support, but no individual allocation authority should be inferred.
Yuan backs crypto-native founders with earned insight, behavioral resilience, learning velocity, and the ability to translate non-consensus ideas into enduring systems. His technical work spans modular infrastructure, cryptographic acceleration, token economics, and network utility; his consumer work emphasizes distribution through existing behavior and trusted platforms. His latest framework looks for crypto companies that exploit a temporary market gap, build a self-reinforcing growth loop, and graduate that advantage into durable trust, integrations, liquidity, compliance, or consumer-grade product.
Partner
CoinFund
Check: No verified personal check-size range is published. CoinFund attributes pre-seed, seed, and Series A deals to Einar, but disclosed round totals are company financings and not his personal allocation authority.
Einar backs foundational technology that decentralizes scarce AI resources or rebuilds financial rails onchain. His portfolio connects open compute and model ownership, verifiable AI, permanent data, cross-chain liquidity, stablecoin payments, and institutional prediction-market infrastructure. He favors technically ambitious early teams addressing a structural bottleneck, with a credible path from an initial developer or institutional wedge to an open network that scales access, freedom, and knowledge.
Managing Partner
HashKey Capital
Check: Not publicly disclosed. HashKey Capital invests through venture and liquid strategies across the blockchain ecosystem; founders should confirm vehicle and sizing directly.
Ryan's public investing perspective joins crypto-native opportunity with institutional finance and regulatory execution. He treats rising scrutiny as evidence of a maturing market and argues that sustainable blockchain businesses must balance innovation with compliance, engage regulators proactively, and build infrastructure that can connect institutions, founders, developers, and users across Asian and global markets.
Associate
ParaFi Capital
Check: No personal check range or independent decision authority is publicly disclosed. Jono is an Associate on ParaFi's investment team; ParaFi operates public- and private-market strategies, so founders should confirm the relevant vehicle and process rather than infer a ticket from firm AUM.
Jono's public work points to investable digital-asset opportunities where on-chain rails make familiar assets globally accessible and more liquid. He tracks tokenized equities and collectibles through measurable adoption—asset value, holder counts, trading volume and distribution—and brings both venture diligence and price-agnostic on-chain trading experience to the analysis.
