Andreessen Horowitz to open first international office in London led by Sriram Krishnan

US venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, a major cryptocurrency investor, said on Sunday it will set up its first international office in London, at a time when US regulators have increased scrutiny of the cryptocurrency sector.

The London office, set to open later this year, will work with universities in the UK and support the development of blockchain technologies and startups, the company said in a statement, adding that it will be led by one of the firm’s general partners, Sriram Krishnan.
