a16z Vision & Long-term infrastructure.
Finance First, Everything Else Follows– The Chris Dixon 2026 Vision 🔮
Today, Chris Dixon (a16z) shared a viral post: Blockchain isn't just for trading; it’s a new "primitive" for human scale.
The "Read-Write-Own" Model: 2026 is the year we stop talking about "Web3" and start living in it. From tokenized real estate to AI-embedded ownership, the infrastructure is finally ready.
Glamsterdam Upgrade: Ethereum’s mid-2026 upgrade is promising 10,000 TPS. This tech is why ETH is holding the $2,800- $3,000 range despite the volatility.
The Takeaway: Don't get distracted by the $BTC price candles. The smartest minds in the world are building the "Internet of Value."
The Trend: We are moving from "Speculative Trading" to "Structural Utility." Are you holding utility tokens or just hype?

a16z: NON-FINANCIAL CRYPTO ISN'T DEAD. YOU'RE WRONG.
The crypto winter is over. The narrative that non-financial applications are dead is a fundamental misunderstanding. We are deep in the financial era of blockchain, and this is the crucial foundation.
Blockchain's core primitive is enabling internet-scale coordination of labor, capital, and now AI agents, embedding ownership directly. Finance is the proving ground for this. It's not separate; it's the bedrock for everything else.
Building new industries takes time. We are following the internet's path: infrastructure first, then applications. Billions will onboard through finance like payments and DeFi before media, gaming, or AI see mass adoption. Wallets, identity, and trust are already being built.
This is a marathon. Years of groundwork are leading to a sharp inflection point. The future is being forged now.

A long article reviewing the 15-year evolution of crypto venture capital
This article will describe the evolution of venture capital dynamics in blockchain-related entities over the past 15 years, focusing on the shift in some companies toward liquid investments, where VCs do not acquire equity but instead acquire tokens with a vesting schedule.
In addition, famous investment institutions like a16z will be listed as making their first investments in the crypto space, such as their investment in OpenCoin (later Ripple Labs) in April 2013.
In the early days of Bitcoin, from 2009 to 2012, VCs had little interest in the crypto space, so this article will start the analysis from 2012. It is also worth noting that the long-term correlation between Bitcoin price and funding amount does not disappear until 2023.

A16z: Only 10% of cryptocurrency holders are actively using it
A recent report from A16zcrypto titled 'Estimating the Number of Active Cryptocurrency Users' found that only up to 60 million current holders are actively using their cryptocurrency each month.
These numbers represent only 10% of the estimated 617 million global holders, a figure released by Crypto.com in June.
The report assesses that 'this difference shows there is a very large opportunity to convert current cryptocurrency holders — who are primarily passive holders — into active users.'

🔥🔥 A16Z: THE CRYPTO WORLD ENTERS ITS "ADULTHOOD" 🔥🔥
In its State of Crypto Report 2025, the venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) outlined an extremely positive picture for the evolution of the blockchain industry.
According to the report, the annual volume of transactions in stablecoins has reached a record figure of 46 trillion dollars, with an estimated adjusted value around 9 trillion.
This makes stablecoins one of the most widely used tools in the world for digital value transfers, far surpassing traditional banking circuits.
In parallel, the sector records between 40 and 70 million monthly active crypto wallet users, signaling a steady growth in global adoption.
The main blockchains now handle over 3,400 transactions per second, a level of efficiency that brings decentralized networks closer to the performance of conventional financial infrastructures.
The total market capitalization of crypto has surpassed 4 trillion dollars, a figure that consolidates the role of the industry as a pillar of the digital economy.
Andreessen Horowitz describes this phase as the transition from "adolescence" to "maturity" of the sector, where experimentation gives way to concrete models, real utility, and stable market dynamics.
2025, according to a16z, represents the year when the crypto world is no longer just a technological experiment, but a structural component of global finance.
