Bollcoin, October 23: a16z managing partner Chris Dixon announced in a post that a16z Crypto has officially been renamed a16z Frontier, expanding its investment scope from crypto startups to a broader set of "frontier startups": companies dedicated to developing new technologies and creating new markets that may take years to mature. Dixon said this is an expansion of the business rather than a pivot; the team will continue to invest in crypto and related projects and advocate for sensible crypto regulation. As blockchain applications become more widespread, the boundary between crypto and other technologies is increasingly blurred, and it may be more reasonable to define companies by their actual business rather than the technology they use.
