What to know:

  • Entrée Capital's new $300M fund backs AI financial agents, DePIN networks and compliance-as-code tools.
  • Entrée says institutional demand is shifting toward utility, automation and real-world infrastructure.
  • The firm said decentralized compute and autonomous finance are emerging mainstream tech primitives.

Entrée Capital unveiled a $300 million funds for investing in early stage crypto and Web3 infrastructure, a move that underscores the accelerating institutional appetite for blockchain systems that interact seamlessly with modern technology stacks.

The fund will target investments from pre-seed through Series A, backing founders building the foundational layers for mainstream Web3 adoption, the firm said in a Thursday email. Targets includes artificial intelligence (AI) agents capable of autonomously managing assets within cryptographic policy frameworks, as well as decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) networks and blockchain protocols that use token incentives to coordinate, finance and operate real-world infrastructure.

Entrée says its long history across fintech and crypto — including early bets on Stripe, Rapyd, Mesh and Web3 builders like Gen Labs and Breez — positions it to support founders at the intersection of regulated finance and decentralized networks.

Institutional investors are paying close attention to both AI agents and DePIN because they function as crypto-native counterparts to two of today’s fastest-growing technology pillars: artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

AI agents promise autonomous asset management governed by cryptographic policy frameworks, while DePIN networks extend the cloud model by coordinating and financing physical infrastructure. Together, they offer a pathway to secure, automated and highly scalable digital and real-world utility, aligning with institutions’ broader push into next-generation infrastructure.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
