The venture capital company Paradigm announced the launch of a fourth investment fund worth $1.2 billion. The funds will support start-ups in cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, robotics, and other advanced technologies. Founded in 2018, Paradigm combines investment with hands-on development: the team conducts research and engineering work together with the project founders.

In cryptography, the fund will continue to support Hyperliquid, Trade[XYZ] ecosystems, the Tempo project (with Stripe, blockchain for stablecoins and AI agents), and the Kalshi forecasting platform. Outside the crypto market, Paradigm invests in Zipline (autonomous drone delivery), SendCutSend (production solutions), True Anomaly (space defense), and Nous Research (open AI models).

In parallel, the company develops its own tools: Foundry and Reth (blockchain infrastructure), Centaur (for AI agents), EVMbench (together with OpenAI). Paradigm emphasizes: in the face of rapid technological change, the fund will continue to support founders working at the forefront of innovation.
