AMSTERDAM, Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Theta Capital, the largest European investor in blockchain venture capital, has announced that its Legends4Legends 2024 charity conference has raised over $160,000 for the Alternatives4Children ('A4C') charity. Legends4Legends has grown to become Europe's premier investor event on the transformative power of blockchain technology.
A4C is an independent charitable foundation established in 2011 in The Netherlands with the aim of involving professionals from the investment industry in support of education for children in developing countries. Marc de Kloe, founder of Alternatives4 Children and partner, Theta Capital, said, “We are delighted that this year's event not only showcased the latest cutting-edge thinking about investing in blockchain technology, but also helped to raise money for a very worthy cause.”
This year's conference theme was: “Unlocking the True Internet Economy”. An important topic for the event was the growing list of usecases and how the tech is at a tipping point now that problems like scalability are largely solved. Speakers included leading blockchain technology founders and VCs and senior figures such as former CFTC Chairman Christopher Giancarlo, whose comments can be viewed here.
Ruud Smets, CIO, Theta Capital, said, “The U.S. election result is a highly positive catalyst for the industry as it marks a decisive shift from previous regulatory obstacles that have hindered blockchain adoption and innovation in the U.S. With the incoming, pro-blockchain administration, we anticipate a multi-year bull market for blockchain assets and accelerated technology adoption. Early price action in liquid markets is already reflecting this. For investors that are on the sidelines, I believe the time to take action is now.”
Other themes explored during the event included the growing intersection of blockchain and AI, how blockchain can help tackle climate change, mainstream adoption of blockchain technology, investment trends and how to capture blockchain's generational investment opportunity, and what to expect in 2025 and beyond. A full report summarizing the event will be published by Theta Capital.
