What Blockchain Capital is
Blockchain Capital (originally Crypto Currency Partners) is a San Francisco venture capital firm founded in 2013 by brothers Bart Stephens and Brad Stephens, with Brock Pierce among the original co-founders. It is one of the world's longest-lived crypto funds: it manages roughly 2 billion dollars and has backed more than 100 companies in the sector, investing in both equity and tokens and across multiple stages of growth. Its historical portfolio includes Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple and Circle. In 2017, with Fund III, it launched the first SEC-compliant security token offering (the BCAP token); in 2023 it raised 580 million dollars to invest in blockchain infrastructure, gaming and DeFi. The firm remains active today. (Verified: September 2026)
Regulation and licences
It is neither an exchange nor a crypto service provider for the public: it is a US venture capital fund manager, so the MiCA-CASP regime does not apply. It does not offer services to retail users in the EU.
Security
Not applicable in the classic sense: Blockchain Capital does not hold retail users' funds. There is no record of significant incidents or public proceedings against the firm. (Verified: September 2026)
