Bain Capital Crypto Launches First $560M Fund

Bain Capital Ventures has launched Bain Capital Crypto (BCC), its first $560m early-stage crypto-native fund.

This dedicated firm will support crypto/web3 builders from seed through growth with a highly technical and collaborative approach. 

Bain Capital Crypto grew out of BCV, which has actively invested in the crypto space through both protocols and companies for the last seven years.

BCC has three key areas of expertise: 

  • Technical and economic research: As the next wave of internet and financial infrastructure gets built, teams will require deep technical support thinking through critical design decisions.
  • Governance design and participation: Crypto protocols require a dedicated level of active participation on topics related to code contribution, risk parameter adjustment, DAO organization, and management.
  • Participation across stages: Given the early liquidity dynamics of crypto protocols and limited capital intensity, protocol teams require investors that can participate across the liquidity spectrum, supporting teams in both private and public markets.
