4 VCs and 14 funds investing in Cross-Border Payments
Investor
Blockchain Capital
Check: No personal check range or deal authority is disclosed. Jonah is an Investor focused on research and new opportunities at a multi-stage firm; public work and academic research demonstrate thesis depth, not a standard individual ticket.
Jonah studies where value and power accrue as crypto infrastructure matures. He argues that open rails can unbundle closed payment networks; user-owning applications can compress infrastructure margins; software agents may erase human-facing UX moats or create entirely new machine activity; and corporate-controlled chains impose platform and distribution risks on builders. His technical work extends to MEV, execution tickets and protocol value distribution.
Principal
CoinFund
Check: No standard personal ticket is published. CoinFund's 2026 articles identify the firm as lead on Trace's $32M Series A and Edge Markets' $29M Series A, with George authoring or contributing to the theses; round size is not equivalent to CoinFund's check or George's authority.
George looks for open, permissionless systems that expand financial access and remove cost, delay and gatekeeping from payments and DeFi. His writing starts with sharp workflow pain—especially cross-border settlement, prefunding, last-mile liquidity and fragmented banking rails—then tests whether stablecoins and high-throughput networks produce a simpler product for non-crypto-native users. He also tracks financial rails for prediction markets and other emerging on-chain venues.

Deal Partner
Lightspeed Faction
Check: Faction does not publish a standard check range or Will's personal allocation authority. Its official mandate is Seed and Series A, using equity and tokens; observed round sizes are not check-size evidence.
Will invests in useful early-stage blockchain projects across equity and tokens. His public Meld thesis highlights infrastructure that connects traditional money and crypto: simple, compliant, developer-friendly access to stablecoins and digital assets across markets. The broader Faction framework favors long-term utility, ambitious founders, and systems where blockchain materially changes financial or computing coordination.
