$300 Million Invested in Web3 Infrastructure: This Organization Plans to Invest in AI Agents and DePIN

[BlockBeats] There have been some major developments in the crypto space recently. An institution called Entrée Capital just announced the launch of a new $300 million fund specifically targeting early-stage Web3 infrastructure projects. That’s a sizable fund and shows that institutional capital is increasingly interested in blockchain systems that can actually be implemented and integrated with existing technology frameworks.

So, what will this fund mainly invest in? It covers everything from pre-seed to Series A rounds, with a focus on supporting teams laying the foundation for Web3. The areas they’re bullish on include: first, AI agents that can manage money on their own within a regulatory framework—these are pretty hot right now; second, decentralized physical infrastructure networks; and third, protocols that use token mechanisms to coordinate and operate real-world infrastructure. In short, they want to invest in projects that can turn Web3 from a concept into a practical tool.

Entrée Capital has spent many years navigating the fintech and crypto sectors, having invested early in star projects like Stripe, Rapyd, and Mesh, and backed Gen Labs and Breez in the Web3 space. They believe this background positions them right at the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized networks, allowing them to provide unique support to entrepreneurs.

Currently, institutional investors are particularly focused on the AI agent and DePIN tracks. Why? Because in the crypto-native space, these two represent the hottest technologies of the moment—artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Whoever can build these foundational infrastructures well could reap the next wave of rewards.
