Acquisition of $55 million worth of native asset by a16z sends Interoperability Protocol asset soaring.
Altcoins Hold High: LayerZero Spikes on a16z Investment
In an unexpected surge, a lesser-known altcoin witnessed a substantial increase in price following venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz's (a16z) $55 million investment in the token. The chosen altcoin, ZRO, forms the backbone of LayerZero, an interoperability protocol for quick, censorship-resistant messaging and decentralized applicationbuilding among various blockchains.
General Partner at a16z Crypto, Ali Yahya, announced the firm's decision to invest in LayerZero, expressing interest in the project's vision to pave the way for immutable smart contracts and enhanced connectivity across different blockchains [1][2].
Prior to the announcement, ZRO was trading at around $2.33, but the news led ZRO to peak at $2.54 approximately 90 minutes later [3]. Currently, it's trading around 2.46 US dollars, showing a rise of more than 2.5% in the last 24 hours. In contrast, the overall crypto market has witnessed a decline of over 1% in the same time frame [3].
Prior to this event, GMX revealed its plan to collaborate with LayerZero as its "preferred messaging infrastructure provider" for its multichain expansion [2]. Alongside this, the XDC Network disclosed the integration of LayerZero into its omnichain network, aiming to empower developers and businesses to create cross-blockchain applications with increased trust, speed, and efficiency [2].
