Andreessen Horowitz has raised a $2.2 billion crypto fund, doubling down on digital assets at a moment when the venture industry is still recovering its appetite for the sector. The new vehicle lifts the firm’s total crypto capital to about $9.8 billion across five funds, cementing its position as one of the largest sources of venture funding for the sector. The raise comes as smaller funds struggle to attract commitments and token prices remain well below their peaks. The firm said it plans to invest in projects connecting crypto with traditional finance and artificial intelligence, though it disclosed few specifics on strategy, target returns or investor backing. Andreessen Horowitz promoted Chief Technology Officer Eddy Lazzarin to general partner to help lead the next phase of investments. The size, and timing, underscores a widening split in crypto venture capital: a handful of established firms can still raise multibillion-dollar pools, while some newer or smaller entrants face a much tougher fundraising environment. That dynamic risks concentrating influence over which projects get built, and funded, in the next cycle. The fund was raised into a weaker backdrop. Bitcoin remains almost 40% below its October peak, with steeper losses across smaller tokens. Increased interest in artificial intelligence has grabbed some institutional investors’ attention away from crypto funds, according to Galaxy Digital research. In the fourth quarter, the total capital allocated to crypto-focused venture funds reached about $2 billion across 11 funds, still small compared with the peak of early 2022, Galaxy said. Venture funds raised a total of $8.75 billion last year, more than in any year since 2022. “We’re at one of those quieter moments now. And the signal coming through is one of the most encouraging it has been in years,” Andreessen Horowitz partners wrote in a blog announcing the new fund. Other large venture capital firms recently raised funding as well: Haun Ventures ...

There's been a passing of the torch at the very top of the Fortune 500. For the first time, Amazon 's business surpassed Walmart 's (NASDAQ: WMT) business in terms of overall revenue and became the world's largest company by measure of sales. In Walmart's 2026 fiscal year, which ended Jan. 30, the company recorded revenue of $713.2 billion. Meanwhile, Amazon recorded sales of $716.9 billion in the past year. Is Walmart still a worthwhile long-term investment now that Amazon is surpassing its rival in sales, or is the company on track to get left behind? Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

The startup has put a spin on repurposing EV batteries, CEO Edward Chiang told TechCrunch.

Dutch startup QuantWare is raising €152 million ($178 million) in a round led by Intel Corp. ’s venture capital arm to build a production facility for quantum computing processors. Intel Capital is leading the fundraising alongside Dutch investment firm Forward.one , QuantWare said in a statement on Tuesday. IQT , a fund started by the Central Intelligence Agency , also participated, alongside ETF Partners and several Dutch funds. Matt Rijlaarsdam, QuantWare’s chief executive officer, said he aims to open the new manufacturing site near the company’s headquarters in Delft by the end of the year. He declined to share the company’s valuation. A wide range of startups and large companies, including Nvidia Corp. , are trying to apply quantum physics to make computers exponentially more powerful than today’s machines. These companies are betting the nascent field, which uses subatomic particles to manipulate and transmit information, is getting closer to delivering real-world benefits in fields like drug discovery and finance. Still, no company has yet widely deployed machinery that replaces conventional silicon-based computing and networking. And as quantum machines get larger, they often are more prone to errors. Read More: Google Unveils Quantum Computing Breakthrough on Willow Chip QuantWare, which formed in 2021, designs and fabricates chips to power quantum devices. The startup says its new system can work for machines running computations of as many as 10,000 qubits, the basic building blocks of quantum computing; advanced machines today use a little over 100 qubits. By comparison, advanced silicon-based chips have hundreds of billions of transistors. Rijlaarsdam said the field is poised to replicate the first decades of semiconductors, when computing gear rapidly became more powerful and cheaper. “The same laws of economics apply in the quantum space,” he said in an interview. QuantWare’s 10,000-qubit system will be available starting in 2028 for €50 million, rep...

The US stock market’s rally to new highs has been propelled by so few stocks that it’s reminding some on Wall Street of the runup to the dot-com bubble. Four of the last five closing records for the S&P 500 Index occurred even as decliners in the index outnumbered gainers. In the month of April, just 23% of S&P 500 members beat the index, which BofA Global Research strategists says is the fourth-lowest monthly reading in the bank’s database going back to 1986. “Don’t confuse a narrow rally at all-time highs with broad green light,” Mark Malek , chief investment officer at Muriel Siebert & Co., said by phone. He called the rally “disturbingly narrow” and said breadth has fallen “to one of the tightest levels in decades outside of the dot—com bubble.” Blockbuster earnings growth from semiconductor and mega-cap tech companies like Google-parent Alphabet Inc. have lifted benchmark indexes, but these all-time highs are being hit with just “the tip of the spear,” Malek said, referring to the small group of AI-related names. He’s not alone. The lack of breadth behind the new index records is raising concerns across Wall Street. The median index member remains 13% below its respective high, which is the “lowest level since the dot-com bubble outside of briefly in mid-2023,” Ben Snider , chief US equity strategist at Goldman Sachs & Co., wrote in an April 30 note. He said that the narrowness of the market’s rally reflects a similarly slim set of S&P 500 earnings estimates upgrades, which has been led by semiconductor, technology and communications services companies. Nvidia Corp. , for example, was responsible for more than 10% of the S&P 500’s gains in April. A handful of smaller chip companies were the top performers — including Intel Corp. , Advanced Micro Devices and ON Semiconductor. Yet historically, bad breadth had been a worrisome omen for the benchmark index. “Sharply narrowing breadth has historically indicated equity market drawdown risk,” Snider wrote. Since 1980...

hapabapa As a result of Palantir Technologies ( PLTR ) reporting better-than-expected results and guidance, several Wall Street firms praised the tech giant. Still, that wasn't enough for investors, as shares of the Alex Karp-led company fell 3% in premarket trading on Tuesday, erasing earlier gains. Bank of America analyst Mariana Perez Mora said that Palantir's results were a “step-function print.” The company generated more cash in the period than it had annually until 2024. “The market is moving from AI curiosity to AI consequence, and Palantir is the leader in this transition without engaging in a race to the bottom,” Perez Mora wrote in a note to clients. She reiterated her Buy rating and $255 price target on Palantir. Additionally, Perez Mora said that even though there is worry about competition from companies such as OpenAI ( OPENAI ), Anthropic ( ANTHRO ), Meta ( META ), and other top AI labs, Palantir has proven its AI can help productivity. “PLTR’s AIP, Ontology, Foundry, and Apollo platforms provide the infrastructure required to translate model capability into repeatable, auditable, and governed outcomes at scale. As underlying AI models improve, we view the relationship as complementary rather than competitive, positioning PLTR to benefit as enterprises mature beyond indiscriminate LLM access toward structured AI deployment.” Morgan Stanley analyst Sanjit Singh pounded the table on Palantir and said the results were indicative that Palantir's growth and profitability are “best in class,” even if the stock did not react much. “Despite impressive top-line and bottom-line results and upward forward estimates revisions, shares remain relatively flat in the after hours market,” Singh explained. “This signals to us that expectations remain high and that valuation may not be seen as attractive enough with shares trading ~34x CY27 sales and ~56x CY27 FCF with peak growth likely approaching or having already materialized. This mostly reflects the law of large ...

伦敦可可期货大幅上涨，创下自2024年以来最大涨幅，因市场对下一季作物前景再度产生担忧。 最活跃合约一度上涨12%，至每吨3018英镑，为2月9日以来最高水平。这一走势与纽约可可期货一致，后者在周一上涨8%，当时伦敦市场因公共假期休市。 Expana高级可可经理Andrew Moriarty表示，对2026–27年作物的早期调查显示，可可树上的幼果形成量低于平均水平，这预示着通常在10月开始的主收获季开局疲弱。 此外，强厄尔尼诺现象的风险也为前景增添不确定性，这可能给厄瓜多尔和印尼等主要产区带来更炎热、更干燥的气候，从而增加减产的可能性。StoneX上周已将2026–27年度全球可可过剩预期下调至14.9万吨，理由正是强厄尔尼诺的影响。 责任编辑：陈钰嘉

Former leader of Westminster city council found to have misused her powers in the ‘homes for votes’ scandal There was a time in the late 1980s when Shirley Porter was the second most famous and powerful female politician in Britain: “the Iron Lady of the town halls”. Like her heroine, Margaret Thatcher , she was a grocer’s daughter, though the family business, Tesco, was somewhat bigger than the prime minister’s corner shop. Porter’s eventual fall from grace was devastating both for her personal reputation and for Thatcherism’s perceived way of doing things. She was, simply, the most corrupt politician of her time. Porter, who has died aged 95, was pursued by the district auditor from her power base at Westminster city council, where she was leader for eight years, 1983-91, and eventually found to have acted illegally in selling council houses with the aim of increasing Conservative votes, in what became known as the “homes for votes” scandal.
