Coinbase Ventures says its 2026 investment strategy will focus on real-world asset tokenization, next-generation DeFi, and agentic AI.
The firm is actively scouting teams building RWA trading platforms, specialized exchanges, DeFi protocols, and AI-driven onchain tools.
With more than 618 investments to date, Coinbase Ventures says these categories will produce the “next big breakout companies.”
