Jump Capital has successfully closed its seventh venture fund with $350 million in total capital commitments, as announced on July 29. According to the firm's official statement, this represents their largest fund to date and marks a significant strategic shift toward increased crypto investments. The new fund will continue investing in fintech, IT and data infrastructure, future of commerce and media, and B2B SaaS sectors, while allocating more resources to blockchain and digital asset companies.
Jump Capital has been actively expanding its crypto investments over the past year, building on its original crypto focus that began roughly seven years ago. The firm's current crypto portfolio spans exchanges supporting fiat on-ramps, lending and credit platforms, compliance software, asset management platforms, decentralized finance, gaming, Web3 infrastructure, and blockchain networks. In May 2025, Jump Crypto acquired a significant equity stake in Securitize for an undisclosed amount to expand institutional access to tokenized real-world assets. The firm also introduced Shelby in June 2025 - a decentralized hot storage network designed to provide cloud-grade infrastructure for Web3 applications.
Jump Capital's crypto investments have continued with significant backing of emerging Web3 projects. In September 2025, Web3 distribution protocol KGeN announced a $13.5 million strategic funding round backed by Jump Crypto, Accel, and Prosus Ventures, increasing the company's total funding to $43.5 million. KGeN reported operations across more than 60 countries, serving 38.9 million verified users, generating $48.3 million in annualized revenue, and recording roughly 780,000 daily active users. The firm's investment process continues to rely on sector-specific research and discussions with industry participants before identifying founders whose businesses align with their investment themes.
Founded in 2012 alongside Jump Trading, Jump Capital has established a strong track record in venture investing with more than 100 portfolio companies and close to 30 exits since launch. The firm originally focused on software and technology companies outside traditional coastal venture markets while supplying Series A and Series B funding to underserved founders across the United States. According to Jump Capital, market conditions have changed considerably since then, with access to Series A and Series B capital becoming more limited while investor attention toward startups in the Midwest increased during the pandemic.
With Fund VII now closed, Jump Capital plans to continue supporting early-stage technology companies while dedicating additional capital and personnel to blockchain infrastructure, decentralized finance, crypto networks, gaming, and other parts of the digital asset ecosystem. The firm noted that Jump Capital and its affiliate Jump Trading now invest globally across the crypto market, citing increasing institutional participation, continued retail adoption, and rapid product development as factors supporting their strategy.
