Crypto VC firm Paradigm has broadened its focus to include artificial intelligence. According to the official website, Paradigm will now refer to itself as a “research-driven technology investment firm” rather than one that invests exclusively in “disruptive crypto/Web3 companies and protocols.” People familiar with the strategy said the company has not changed its mission and continues to focus on encryption and Web3 with no real changes, and the updated website copy is intended to emphasize its technology research. Paradigm supports companies exploring new technologies as part of their core strategy, such as AI Arena.
