Yahoo includes BTC to USD trading pair in traditional stock report
A new Yahoo report includes a list of “select financial stocks” such as American Express, Prudential Financial and JP Morgan Chase and this list includes several crypto-to-USD trading pairs such as Bitcoin to USD.

Merck seeks a patent to use blockchain for tracking goods as they move through the supply chain.
The goal here is anti-counterfeiting.

Andreessen Horowitz launches $300M crypto fund
Silicon Valley investment powerhouse Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has launched a new $300 million fund focused on cryptocurrency.
The fund will be named “a16z” and will notably feature former federal prosecutor and Assistant US Attorney Kathryn Haun as one of its co-leads. Haun has also been named as the firm’s latest general partner.
General partner Chris Dixon indicated the crypto fund would take a decidedly long-term tack in its investments.
Dixon went on to add:
“We want services powered by crypto protocols to be used by hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people,” Dixon wrote. “Crypto tokens are the native asset class of digital networks, but their value is driven by the underlying, practical uses cases.”
