The post Crypto VC will prioritize quantum-ready infrastructure heading into 2027, Moon Pursuit founder says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Moon Pursuit Capital founder Utkarsh Ahuja has said crypto venture investors will prioritize quantum-ready infrastructure heading into 2027 as global VC investment reached $227.4 billion in the second quarter. Summary Global VC investment reached $227.4 billion across 8,440 deals during Q2 2026. Ahuja expects post-quantum security and blockchain migration tools to attract more capital. Moon Pursuit co-led AmericanFortress’ $8 million seed round with SAVA and 0G Labs. NIST and major blockchain developers have already started preparing for quantum-resistant systems. KPMG’s latest Venture Pulse report found that global venture funding recorded its second-highest quarterly total in Q2, although much of the capital went to large companies working in AI and other advanced technologies. VC-backed companies raised $227.4 billion across 8,440 deals, down from the record $332.9 billion invested during Q1. OpenAI’s $122 billion round had lifted the first-quarter total, while Anthropic’s $65 billion financing provided the largest contribution in Q2. US companies received $144.9 billion across 3,644 deals, accounting for nearly 64% of global investment. Other major US transactions included a $12 billion round for AI modeling company Project Prometheus and a $5 billion raise by defense technology company Anduril Industries. Within the quantum-computing sector, investment slowed from the record pace recorded in 2025 but remained active, according to KPMG. Netherlands-based QuantWare raised $178 million, Germany’s eleQtron secured $66 million, and Quantinuum raised $1.6 billion through a Nasdaq listing that valued the company at $17.6 billion. Crypto VC could fund quantum preparation before the threat arrives Ahuja told crypto.news that investors will need to consider quantum risks well before a computer capable of breaking current blockchain security becomes available. “I think quantum is going to force crypto investors to think much further ahead than they traditionally have,” Ahuja said. No one can reliably predict when quantum hardware will be able to…
