Foresight Ventures launched a $50 million Stablecoin Infrastructure Fund, the first of its kind, targeting the stablecoin value chain. Stablecoins aim to maintain price stability by being pegged to fiat currency or commodities, with a total market cap of $298.86 billion. The fund supports stablecoin projects in various areas like issuance, exchange, and real-world asset integration.

Alice Li, managing partner of Foresight Ventures, stated that stablecoins are becoming crucial in modern payments. The firm believes stablecoins are vital in global finance settlements and have invested in projects like Ethena, Noble, and Agora. Traditional financial institutions seek faster cross-border settlements, while Web3 apps target mainstream financial use cases.

The report highlighted a shift towards app-specific chains like Plasma and Codex due to volatile gas fees and slower speeds on layer-1 blockchains like Ethereum. These chains aim to provide dollar-denominated fees, millisecond-level confirmation, and built-in compliance, making stablecoins more accessible for everyday use. TheStreet originally reported this on Oct 1, 2025, emphasizing the growing importance of stablecoins in the global financial system.
