Institutional Investors in Crypto & Blockchain

Presented by CVA's Investor Working Group

The global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global economic crisis and central banks (including the US Federal Reserve) have responded by engaging in a massive fiscal and monetary stimulus program, which may result in downstream inflation. This has led to a global increase in interest in potential hedges against inflation in the form of precious metals and cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin in particular). Institutional investors are increasing their exposure and interest to the crypto/blockchain space.

Silicon Valley has a large institutional investor base including prominent venture capital funds who are investing in the crypto space, Crypto Valley is well known for its innovative environment including as the birthplace of the Ethereum Foundation. Our panel will explore the potential opportunities and synergies between these two dynamic ecosystems.

This event brings together a global panel of leading investors, venture capital firms and innovators from both Silicon and Crypto Valley.

In times of crisis and radical uncertainty, the search for alternatives that can improve everyday life intensifies. The coronavirus pandemic and its severe social, political and economic repercussions give digital solutions one more chance to shine. This SECA webinar, offered in cooperation with the Crypto Valley Association and Rock Lake Advisors, provides insights into this emerging asset class, including four investible opportunities.

Come debrief the event on Thursday with crypto investment veteran Meltem Demirors from CoinShares and other industry guests.

We introduce our event with Alex's lines, because more nodes, more miners, more users, and more adoption leads to this event, -- a virtual celebration of the fact that bitcoin was invented.

We couldn't be more excited to celebrate together the 3rd halving of bitcoin, - the cryptocurrency which enables financial freedom on the individual level. The cryptocurrency network that’s open, decentralized, scarce, immutable and democratic.

In these 120 minutes we bring you the colleagues of some of the most relevant companies of the ecosphere, - which would have not existed today if bitcoin had not been created more than 11 years ago.



In the first part of our CVAvirtualseries we will hear the perception of the 3rd halving from Dominic Lohnberger, Head of Brokerage, at Sygnum Bank.


Then we take a global perspective and will talk about the following 5 topics with 5 leaders, - who have done tremendous work for the industry to unlock the potential of the "Queen of the coins":

mining with Alejandro De La Torre - VP at Poolin.com
security with Pascal Gauthier - CEO of Ledger
investments with Meltem Demirors - Chief Strategy Officer of CoinShares
building on top of bitcoin with Elizabeth Stark - Co-founder and CEO of Lightning Labs
research/analytics with Garrick Hileman - Head of Research at Blockchain.com
