Haun Ventures

We’re doubling down on @OfficialXFX's $17m Series A alongside @CastleIslandVC and @cbventures. Santi, Beto, Jason, and the team go from strength to strength. In less than a year since we led the seed, the company has reached $5b in annualized volume and become the primary cross border settlement provider for their customers. XFX is helping money move as seamlessly as information, and we’re excited to continue supporting them in their mission. fortune.com/2026/03/26/xfx…

WATCH: @katie_haun on @SquawkCNBC this morning with @andrewrsorkin discussing why the future of finance will look completely different

Today @Mastercard acquired @BVNKFinance for $1.8B. The payments industry has decided it cannot afford to not own these rails.

Congrats to our portfolio company @BVNKFinance on their acquisition by @Mastercard. The competition to own new financial rails has been building for years, as stablecoin growth continues to accelerate. Excited for Jesse, Don and Chris on this milestone 💪 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In the Charts, Episode 15: Energy = Wealth, Water Gets Cheap & The Barbell Economy In this episode @diogomonica, @brxckinridge, and @ahnchrisj kick off 2026 with charts on the link between energy and prosperity, the plummeting cost of desalination, and why zero-revenue companies crushed the market in 2025. 00:01 – High income, low energy countries don't exist. But flip it: high energy, low income countries don't either. Produce energy → prosperity follows. 08:57 – The falling cost of desalination is one of the most optimistic charts for humanity. At ~$1/cubic meter and dropping, water scarcity looks increasingly solvable—especially as energy gets cheaper. 15:38 – 2025's biggest public market winners? NASDAQ companies with zero revenue. Second place: the Mag-7. We're living in a barbell economy fueled by speculation on one end and scale on the other. 19:28 – Will 2026 be the year AI productivity finally shows up in the S&P 493? The gains can't stay concentrated in the Mag-7 forever… right?

Celebrating @ereborbank, the largest charter ever issued w/ @PalmerLuckey

Haun GP @diogomonica joined @johncoogan @jordihays today on @TBPN live from the @NYSE to discuss @ereborbank, building the first federally chartered crypto-native bank in the U.S., the difficulty of securing a charter, and the rise of tech-driven banking infrastructure.

@diogomonica @brxckinridge @ahnchrisj

In the Charts, Episode 14: Buying the Top, Venture's Big Shift & The Streaming Wars In this episode @diogomonica, @brxckinridge, and @ahnchrisj dig into charts on the counterintuitive case for investing at all-time highs, where venture dollars are really flowing, and what Netflix's $72B bid for Warner Bros means for the future of content. 00:01 – Investing at all-time highs actually beats random entry points on 1, 3, and 5 year forward returns. The trend is your friend. 07:15 – North America venture funding is exploding—but it's almost all late-stage. Meanwhile Asia is flat-to-down and Europe is… consistent. 15:44 – Netflix bids $72B for Warner Bros Discovery. Are we heading toward a Netflix vs YouTube duopoly for your screen time? 19:19 – Netflix's model wins on distribution but could make content more mediocre—and could become the first major distributor of AI-generated slop. 28:47 – Which streaming platform will be first to serve AI-generated personalized video? The bet: YouTube.

Congrats to @ereborbank on an exciting set of new milestones. We're proud to be an earlier backer of an OCC-chartered bank, purpose-built for a new era (accelerate). More from @diogomonica 👇

Congrats to the founding @ereborbank team, @PalmerLuckey, Owen Rapaport, Jacob Hirshman, Trevor Capozza, and Aaron Pelz on launching a bank built for the fast-growing innovation economy across AI, digital assets, aerospace, defense tech and more. We have known Owen since the early days of @HaunVentures and were so impressed with him and his cofounders that we became an early supporter through the Seed, Series A, and now Series B round of Erebor. Doors are open!

A first for us 🧐😂

Couldn't be more excited to back @rleshner and the @SuperstateInc team. Stablecoins are the gateway to the real prize: tokenization.

Big day for Superstate. Series B news at the @NYSE with @HiltnerJim and @rleshner.

Congrats to our portfolio team @SuperstateInc on this important milestone. Upgrading capital markets through tokenization is one of the most important infrastructure opportunities of the next decade.

Congrats Toni and @theclearingco team 🎉 With @coinbase’s scale and credibility, this team will help define how the world discovers truth through onchain markets.

It has been a blast working with Toni and the rest of the team @theclearingco Excited for them to join forces with @coinbase to take their vision to the next level

1/ Today we’re proud to introduce Direct Issuance Programs. For the first time, public companies can raise capital directly from global investors by offering tokenized shares on Ethereum and Solana, with settlement handled in stablecoins.
