Exploring Opportunities in Crypto

The company recently achieved a $7.5 billion valuation and intends to dominate the NFT ecosystem through its Flow blockchain technology.

Navigating the Banking Landscape

Coinbase’s direct listing earlier this year coincided with peak crypto enthusiasm and significant market activity. CEO Brian Armstrong will share his perspective on building for the future and managing volatility, all while addressing competition from global players. This comes amidst a substantial market correction.

Funding the Future of Web 3.0

Andreessen Horowitz’s third crypto-focused fund, valued at $2.2 billion, represents the firm’s largest vertical-specific investment to date. This underscores the critical importance of blockchain technology and decentralized finance to their long-term strategy. General Partner Katie Haun, who leads the crypto team, will discuss identifying the firm’s next high-growth investment, similar to the success they experienced with Coinbase.

Shaping the Metaverse Economy

Together Labs is harnessing blockchain technology to build a new metaverse economy, empowering users to buy, sell, invest, and influence its development. Earlier this year, Together Labs introduced VCOIN, a pioneering global digital currency usable both within and outside the metaverse. VCOIN enables users to earn real value through gameplay and convert it to cash. The company plans to launch further blockchain-based offerings to accelerate the transition to a fully blockchain-driven economy, establishing a model for other metaverses. Presented by VCOIN.
