CMT Digital Closes $136 Million Fund IV, Starts Deploying Into Stablecoin Plays

Backing from family offices, high‑net‑worth investors, alongside select institutions, signals selective capital flows in a lean year for venture funds.

Overview

  • The fourth fund closed in early October at $136 million after a raise sourced from family offices, wealthy individuals, and some institutions.
  • Roughly 25% of the capital is already invested, including stakes in stablecoin startups Coinflow and Codex.
  • The vehicle finished below an earlier $150 million target, which the firm describes as a solid outcome given tighter fundraising conditions.
  • PitchBook reports show $50 billion raised by venture funds in the first half of 2025 and nearly $7 billion deployed into crypto startups, reflecting a cooler market than the 2021–2022 cycle.
  • CMT Digital, the crypto arm of Chicago‑based CMT Group, has backed Circle, Figure, and Consensys, with Circle and Figure recently listing publicly and Consensys preparing for a potential debut.
