NAUT tracks 48 companies backed by Arrington Capital, on 57 round records dated June 2018 to October 2025, and 41 of the 48 carry a launched token flag. The biggest groups in the Arrington Capital portfolio are chains (12 companies), DeFi, staking and stablecoins (13) and infrastructure (9), led by Wormhole's $225M round, according to NAUT's data read on 14 November 2026.

Data note. Read from NAUT's database on 14 November 2026. Scope: every non-archived, non-merged project, platform or launchpad row with an Arrington Capital backer record; other investor rows are left out. NAUT types the firm as a Hedge fund, so this is a crypto hedge fund portfolio read through its venture rounds. Searchers also know it as Arrington XRP Capital, its launch name: it was announced in November 2017 as a $100M crypto hedge fund under that name, per Finance Magnates and Axios. NAUT lists the fund under 2 rows: the live Arrington Capital row holds all 57 records, and an archived Arrington XRP Capital row is merged into it and holds none, so the count is the union of 1 set. Amounts are whole-round sizes, not Arrington's own cheque, which the sources rarely disclose. 8 of the 57 records, at 8 of the 48 companies, were put to outside reports for this page; the other 40 companies' records were not read outside NAUT. Written by the NAUT research desk.

What is in the Arrington Capital portfolio on NAUT?

The Arrington Capital portfolio on NAUT is 48 companies, and 34 of them sit in 3 groups: DeFi, staking and stablecoins (13), chains (12) and infrastructure, data and bridges (9). Each company is placed once, by what its NAUT description says it builds, with its stored sector tags as the guide.

Group Companies / rounds Token
Chains 12 / 14 11
Infra, data, bridges 9 / 12 8
DeFi, staking and stablecoins 13 / 14 10
Trading and exchanges 5 / 5 5
Prediction markets and betting 3 / 5 2
Gaming 3 / 4 2
AI 2 / 2 2
Social 1 / 1 1

By NAUT's own sector tags, where a company can carry several, DeFi appears on 25 companies, L1/2/3 on 13 and Infrastructure on 12. The 57 records sum to $1.62B in whole-round sizes, with a $8.5M median and a $28.4M mean. 3 undated records repeat a dated record's company and amount (Limitless Exchange $10M, Burnt Xion $25M, Immutable X $200M), so the sum is $1.38B without them. Efinity and Enjin Coin also carry the same $18.9M dated 31 March 2021, which may be 1 round stored under both rows; both stay in the sum.

By year, NAUT dates 4 records in 2018, 5 in 2019, 6 in 2020, 11 in 2021, 4 in 2022, 5 in 2023, 10 in 2024 and 2 in 2025; 10 carry no date. 23 of the 57 are seed or pre-seed records. NAUT records no lead flag for Arrington on any of the 57.
