Interoperability Protocol Asset Surges After a16z Acquires $55,000,000 Worth of the Project’s Native Asset

An under-the-radar altcoin witnessed a mild jump in price on Thursday after the venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) announced it was investing $55 million in the token. Ali Yahya, a general partner at a16z crypto, announced the investment in ZRO , the native token of the omnichain interoperability protocol LayerZero. LayerZero aims to move data across blockchains and support “censorship-resistant messages and permissionless development through immutable smart contracts.” Yahya notes the a16z investment has a three-year lockup. ZRO was trading around $2.33 prior to the announcement and surged to a high of $2.54 around 90 minutes later. The 208th-ranked crypto asset by market cap has since partially retraced to $2.46 at time of writing, though it remains up by more than 2.5% in the past 24 hours. The overall crypto market cap, by comparison, is down more than 1% in the past day. Earlier this week, the on-chain perpetual exchange GMX announced LayerZero would serve as the “preferred messaging infrastructure provider” for its multichain expansion. The XDC Network, a layer-1 blockchain, also recently announced a LayerZero omnichain integration. Explains XDC, “This integration connects the XDC Network to over 125+ LayerZero-supported blockchains, empowering developers and enterprises to build omnichain applications interacting across networks with enhanced trust, speed, and efficiency.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don`t Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.
