AC Capital

Crypto Asset Management

AC Capital is a crypto-focused venture capital firm that invests in open networks at the seed and growth stages, with a stated global orientation from inception. The firm organizes its investment thesis around three verticals: open financial rails (protocols generating real cash flow and enabling borderless trading), sovereign infrastructure (full-stack, vertically integrated on-chain infrastructure), and the intent economy (AI-driven agents, intent execution, and prediction markets). Portfolio companies include CoralApp, MoveBit, Shutter, Cetus, Metis, Swell, Blocto, and O3 Swap, among others, spanning decentralized finance, infrastructure, and applications. AC Capital targets founders building at early stages before broader market consensus forms, positioning itself as a long-term alignment partner rather than a short-term capital provider.
