ParaFi Capital portfolio: 51 companies on NAUT, 27 in DeFi

By NAUT Research · · 9 min read

51 ParaFi Capital portfolio companies on NAUT across 59 round records, June 2020 to October 2026. Logos: NEAR Protocol, Wormhole, Aptos, Immutable X, Jeeves, bloXroute, Eclipse, Polymarket, Huma Finance, Jupiter, Jambo, Uniswap, Aave, Lido, 1inch, The Graph.

NAUT tracks 51 companies in the ParaFi Capital portfolio, across 59 round records dated from 30 June 2020 to 28 October 2026 (6 more carry no date). 27 of the 51 carry a DeFi tag, 38 carry a launched-token flag on NAUT's record, and the average round ParaFi Capital joined was $31.1M across all 59 records, with a median of $5.5M.

Data note. Counted on 14 November 2026 from NAUT's own database. NAUT holds ParaFi Capital under 1 investor row with 60 backer records. 1 of those sits on a row NAUT types as an investor, so it is left out, which leaves 59 records at 51 project companies. 2 of the 59 hold the same $200M Immutable X Series C, once dated 7 March 2022 and once with no date, so the sector table and chart below count that round once: 58 rounds, $28.1M average. Every amount is the size of the whole round. NAUT's record holds no figure for ParaFi's own cheque, and its lead flag is on for 0 of the 59 records. The firm describes itself on its site as "a multi-strategy investment firm across public and private markets focused on the frontier of finance."

What is in the ParaFi Capital portfolio by sector?

DeFi is the largest group with 27 of the 51 companies, followed by infrastructure with 14. A company can carry several tags, so the rows add up to more than 51. The table counts the repeated Immutable record once. Tokens is the number of those companies with a launched-token flag on NAUT.

Sector Firms Rounds Avg round Tokens
DeFi 27 31 $26.9M 24
Infrastructure 14 17 $58.7M 12
DEX 6 6 $11.9M 6
L1/2/3 6 6 $73.2M 6
Payment 3 4 $42.0M 1
Wallet 3 5 $8.8M 3
Stablecoins 3 3 $6.1M 2
Gaming 2 2 $102.0M 2
AI 2 2 $177.5M 2
Neobank 2 2 $60.8M 0
No tag 5 7 $4.8M 1

The other 10 tags hold 1 or 2 companies each: DePIN 2, Intelligence 2, Privacy 1, RWA 1, Money Market 2, Tools 2, Launchpad 1, CEX (Centralized Exchange) 2, GambleFi 1, Prediction Market 1.

Of the groups in the table, the 2 AI-tagged companies carry the highest average because NEAR Protocol's $350.0M round sits in that group, and the 6 base-layer (L1/2/3) companies average $73.2M. DeFi, the core of these ParaFi Capital investments, averages $26.9M per round, and the 6 DEX companies $11.9M.

Which ParaFi rounds were the largest?

The 4 largest records are NEAR Protocol at $350.0M, Wormhole at $225.0M, and Aptos and Immutable X at $200.0M each. The chart ranks each company by the largest round NAUT records for it, for the 11 companies at $30M or more.

Largest round per company, the 11 at $30M or more
  1. NEAR Protocol$350.0M
  2. Wormhole$225.0M
  3. Aptos$200.0M
  4. Immutable X$200.0M
  5. Jeeves$110.0M
  6. bloXroute$70.0M
  7. Eclipse$50.0M
  8. Polymarket$45.0M
  9. Huma Finance$38.0M
  10. Jupiter$35.0M
  11. Jambo$30.0M

7 of the 58 distinct rounds are $50M or more, and 25 are under $5M, so the typical ParaFi round on NAUT's record is a small one: the median is $5.5M.

9 of the 13 companies without a token flag still carry a ticker on NAUT's record: bloXroute, Burrow, MetaSoccer, Common (prev. Commonwealth), InsurAce, Badger DAO, Rarible, DefiDollar DAO and Polymarket. Check the token status on the company page before you pitch a pre-token service to any of them.

How much of this record was checked against outside sources?

5 rounds, covering 6 of the 59 records, were put to outside reports for this page. The reports read for Wormhole's $225M round, Aptos's $200M round and Immutable X's $200M Series C name ParaFi among the investors, and a report on Jeeves confirms its $110M raise. The 2 outlets read for NEAR Protocol's $350M round confirm the round and its date but do not name ParaFi, so that record rests on NAUT's data alone. The other 53 records were not put to an outside source. Of 3 token flags checked, CoinGecko lists Jupiter as JUP and GEODNET as GEOD; the page read for Bitfinity Network did not confirm a launched token, so its flag is NAUT's record only.

What does this tell a BD team?

  • 5 companies have a ParaFi record dated after 1 January 2025: Birch Hill ($4.0M seed, October 2026), Jeeves ($110.0M Series C, September 2026), Limited ($11.5M extended seed, September 2026), Jupiter ($35.0M strategic, February 2026) and GEODNET ($8.0M strategic, February 2025). These hold the freshest budgets.
  • Payments is the 2026 thread. Jeeves and Limited both carry Neobank and Payment tags and their records are 1 day apart.
  • 38 of the 51 carry a launched-token flag, so token-side services (listings, liquidity, analytics) have the larger pool here.
  • DeFi is the deepest seam at 27 companies, from Uniswap, Aave and Lido to Huma Finance and Jupiter.

  • Size the ask to the median. Half of the 59 records are $5.5M or less, and 25 of the 58 distinct rounds are under $5M.
  • The pace has slowed since 2021. 21 of the 53 dated records fall in 2021, against 5 in 2024, 1 in 2025 and 4 so far in 2026.
  • Bring a lead. NAUT's lead flag is on for 0 of ParaFi's 59 records, and the report read for Aptos names ParaFi among the other investors, behind a different lead.
