Framework Ventures Raises $400M Fund for Crypto, AI and Robotics

Framework Ventures closed a $400 million fourth fund this month to invest in cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and robotics, the firm announced. The fund will back companies and protocol teams building infrastructure, tools and applications across those sectors.

No detailed breakdown was provided of how the $400 million will be allocated by sector or stage. The capital is intended for direct equity investments, protocol development support and other venture financing structures.

Earlier Framework funds concentrated on digital-asset projects. The fourth fund extends the firm's stated focus to include AI and robotics alongside blockchain technologies, targeting teams that combine machine learning with on-chain systems or apply AI in robotics.

Investors have increased allocations to startups developing large language models, reinforcement-learning systems, robotics platforms, and projects aiming to improve blockchain scalability, interoperability and developer tooling.

Framework did not name specific portfolio targets or disclose expected first investments, timing or geographic focus.

Framework Ventures is a venture firm known for early and growth-stage investments in digital-asset ecosystems. The new fund adds to the firm's previous vehicles and represents continued fundraising activity in technology-focused venture capital.
