What to know:
- Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm is seeking to raise a $2 billion fifth venture fund, with a target close in the first half of 2026, according to Fortune.
- The planned fund is less than half the size of a16z crypto’s $4.5 billion fourth fund raised in 2023, reflecting a more cautious venture environment even though it would still rank among the larger crypto funds.
- The firm's head, Chris Dixon, argues the industry is entering a "financial era" focused on blockchain-based financial applications.
Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto arm is back in the market with a fifth venture fund, even as the digital asset sector navigates a slower investment environment, Fortune reported.
A16z crypto aims to raise $2 billion for the fund and hopes to close the process during the first half of 2026, Fortune said, citing unidentified sources.
The venture capital firm declined to comment on the fundraising effort to Fortune, and neither the firm nor its PR team in London responded to a CoinDesk request for confirmation before publication.
The target is significantly below the company's fourth fund, which raised $4.5 billion in 2023 and remains one of the largest dedicated crypto venture funds ever assembled. Still, it's larger than the $650 million Dragonfly Capital raised last month.
The reported size suggests a more cautious approach to venture capital deployment as crypto markets cool from the highs seen only last year. Dragonfly's was one of the largest raises in the sector at a time when many blockchain-focused VCs are struggling, according to Haseeb Qureshi, the firm's managing partner.
Led by general partner Chris Dixon, a16z crypto has been one of the most influential investors in the digital asset sector, backing projects such as decentralized exchange Uniswap, digital asset platform Anchorage Digital and Jito Network, a core infrastructure protocol. Since its first $300 million crypto fund in 2018, the firm has played a major role in bringing institutional venture capital into blockchain startups.
In an X post last month, Dixon said he sees crypto as entering what he describes as its “financial era,” where blockchain-based financial applications could serve as the foundation for broader decentralized internet services.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release
The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight
The post One Of Frank Sinatra’s Most Famous Albums Is Back In The Spotlight appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew returns to the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums charts, showing continued demand for his timeless music. Frank Sinatra performs on his TV special Frank Sinatra: A Man and his Music Bettmann Archive These days on the Billboard charts, Frank Sinatra’s music can always be found on the jazz-specific rankings. While the art he created when he was still working was pop at the time, and later classified as traditional pop, there is no such list for the latter format in America, and so his throwback projects and cuts appear on jazz lists instead. It’s on those charts where Sinatra rebounds this week, and one of his popular projects returns not to one, but two tallies at the same time, helping him increase the total amount of real estate he owns at the moment. Frank Sinatra’s The World We Knew Returns Sinatra’s The World We Knew is a top performer again, if only on the jazz lists. That set rebounds to No. 15 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and comes in at No. 20 on the all-encompassing Jazz Albums ranking after not appearing on either roster just last frame. The World We Knew’s All-Time Highs The World We Knew returns close to its all-time peak on both of those rosters. Sinatra’s classic has peaked at No. 11 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart, just missing out on becoming another top 10 for the crooner. The set climbed all the way to No. 15 on the Jazz Albums tally and has now spent just under two months on the rosters. Frank Sinatra’s Album With Classic Hits Sinatra released The World We Knew in the summer of 1967. The title track, which on the album is actually known as “The World We Knew (Over and…
