Andreessen Horowitz is expanding its crypto fund into a broader "frontier" fund that backs long-horizon technologies, from AI and new hardware to blockchain-based payments for machine networks. The firm says the crypto label matters less now that blockchains sit mostly in the background.
- The fund is being renamed from a16z crypto to a16z Frontier, but crypto investing and crypto regulatory advocacy continue.
- The firm argues companies should be defined by what they do, not by the technology they use, since Wall Street and fintech now routinely build on blockchains.
- Its thesis is that AI will enable "native" use cases and machine-to-machine networks, and that stablecoins and programmable blockchains can give those networks economic capabilities.
