Venture capital giant Andreessen Horowitz said on Wednesday it has raised $ 4.5 billion for its fourth cryptocurrency fund, bringing its total funds raised for digital currency investments so far to more than $ 7.6 billion.

About $ 1.3 billion from the fund will be used to invest in seed rounds of startups and $ 3 billion for venture investments, the company said in a blog post.

The latest funding comes on the heels of sharp fall in the value of cryptocurrencies in recent weeks, with bitcoin losing over a third of its value in just two months.

Andreessen Horowitz unveiled a $ 2.2 billion fund to invest in crypto networks in June last year. The firm raised $ 9 billion across three new funds to invest across startups in different sectors earlier this year.
