Foresight Ventures has launched a $50 million Stablecoin Infrastructure Fund to support companies building stablecoin infrastructure. This fund is the industry's first dedicated vehicle focused on the entire stablecoin value chain, covering areas such as: - *Issuance and Coordination*: Supporting projects that issue and manage stablecoins. - *Exchanges and Liquidity*: Providing liquidity and exchange services for stablecoins. - *Compliant On- and Off-Ramps*: Enabling regulatory-compliant entry and exit points for stablecoins. - *Payment-Focused Blockchains*: Supporting blockchains optimized for fast and secure transactions. - *Real-World Assets (RWA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)*: Exploring innovative applications of stablecoins with RWAs and AI. - *On-Chain Foreign Exchange*: Developing on-chain foreign exchange solutions. - *Merchant Acquiring*: Facilitating merchant adoption of stablecoins.
