What happened?
Foresight Ventures launched a $50 million fund dedicated to stablecoin infrastructure, the first of its kind to target the full stablecoin stack. The fund will invest across issuance, exchanges, compliance, payments, on-chain FX, AI integrations, and real-world asset use cases. This follows their research and prior crypto investments and signals a concerted push to build long-term infrastructure for global stablecoin adoption.
Who does this affect?
Startups building stablecoin rails, payment processors, exchanges, and compliance tooling are the most direct beneficiaries of this fund. Merchants, banks, and fintechs exploring stablecoin-based payments and cross-border settlement could gain access to new integrations and liquidity. Investors and existing portfolio companies will also feel increased attention and capital flow into stablecoin-related projects.
Why does this matter?
By funneling $50 million into stablecoin infrastructure, the fund could accelerate the development of scalable, compliant rails that make stablecoins practical for mainstream and institutional use. Faster integration with fiat on/off-ramps, merchant acquiring, and on-chain FX can lower costs and speed cross-border payments, putting pressure on traditional payment providers. Overall, this could boost market liquidity and adoption for stablecoins, shifting capital toward projects that enable tokenized payment rails and potentially reshaping parts of the global payments landscape.
