Andreessen Horowitz Launches $4.5 Billion Cryptocurrency Fund
Venture Capital Firm's Biggest Bet Yet on Crypto
Fund to Focus on Early-Stage Startups and Infrastructure
Andreessen Horowitz, a leading venture capital firm, has launched a $4.5 billion cryptocurrency fund, its biggest bet yet on the burgeoning asset class.
The fund, which is the firm's fourth dedicated to crypto, will invest in early-stage startups and infrastructure projects that support the growth of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
"We believe that crypto is still in its early innings, and we are excited to continue to invest in the builders who are shaping the future of this industry," said Chris Dixon, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz.
The fundraise comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a downturn, with Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies falling significantly in value.
However, Andreessen Horowitz remains bullish on the long-term prospects of crypto, arguing that the underlying technology has the potential to revolutionize finance and other industries.
The firm has been an early investor in a number of successful crypto startups, including Coinbase, OpenSea, and Uniswap.
