BitVertex Capital, a licensed venture firm specializing in blockchain, Web3, and AI, has announced a renewed active investment phase in 2026. The firm, founded in 2018, aims to identify and support early-stage startups across decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized real-world assets (RWA), Layer 2 networks, AI-powered platforms, and crypto-native applications.
With over $700 million deployed since its inception, BitVertex Capital has built a portfolio spanning more than 250 strategic partnerships. The firm’s investment philosophy centers on long-term conviction rather than short-term market cycles, seeking projects with strong technical foundations and real-world utility before they gain mainstream recognition.
The 2026 phase will focus on founders building scalable, durable products in infrastructure, financial protocols, payments, and security. BitVertex Capital emphasizes that successful ventures often require not only capital but also access to networks, liquidity, developers, and strategic guidance. The firm claims a documented performance showing that 90% of its investments have delivered 500%+ annual ROI, attributing this to early-stage positioning and disciplined sector selection.
Past portfolio mentions include EpicChain ($EPIC), Chromia ($CHR), Ponke ($PONKE), Venus Protocol, SushiSwap, Ronin Network, and Naoris Protocol, reflecting its broad interest in DeFi, infrastructure, and Web3 applications. The firm believes the next wave of growth will be driven by utility and adoption rather than speculation.
