Time to pay attention when one of the world's largest Investment Managers leans into Crypto ETFs, Digital Assets and creates its own VC arm: VanEck Ventures. But what's their current outlook on the market and the technology?
Juan Lopez, an experienced Web3 investor, is General Partner at VanEck Ventures (and formerly of Circle Ventures) and is looking to make 25-35 investments of tickets between $500k to $1M. As such, he has to understand the current industry requirements, investment narratives, and be able to sort the quality projects from the hype...

He's also looking at the intersection between Fintech and AI to better observe how Blockchain and Digital Assets can offer transformation in TradFi and 'traditional' industries.
On this show we cover:
- Juan’s background and experience in Blockchain and Digital Assets

- How traditional financial institutions are looking at Digital Assets today (e.g. Bitcoin, Blockchains, Stablecoins)
- What more is needed to see widespread adoption of Digital Assets and Web3 technology
