According to a report that began circulating on March 11 in the aftermath of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), prominent blockchain venture capitalists (VCs) have over $6 billion worth of assets held by the now-defunct financial entity. These include $2.85 billion from Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), $1.72 billion from Paradigm and $560 million from Pantera Capital.
A16z currently holds active investments in projects such as Alchemy, Sky Mavis and Yuga Labs, and was previously an investor in cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN). Paradigm has invested in projects such as Compound, Cosmos and Uniswap. Meanwhile, Pantera Capital holds stakes in projects such as 1inch, Ankr and Zcash.
