Europe’s leading investor event on the transformative power of blockchain technology
Capital Management Theta BV
AMSTERDAM, July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Theta Capital Management, Europe’s largest blockchain venture capital firm, is pleased to announce that its eighth annual Legends4Legends charity conference will be held this year on October 17 in Amsterdam.
Investment professionals at family offices, institutional allocators, wealth managers, and private banks are invited to apply for the limited seats available and join the discussion on the promise and opportunity of investing in blockchain technology. Attendance is free for approved professional allocators. No other single-day event brings together so many global blockchain thought leaders with the goal of enabling traditional investors to learn about the power and applications of blockchain technology and the generational investment opportunity it presents.
The theme of this year’s conference is: “Unlocking the Real Internet Economy”. Ruud Smets, CIO, Theta Capital, said: “Blockchain technology is rapidly disrupting our current trusted intermediaries and, more importantly, enabling new economic behaviors by making business models programmable and value transfer frictionless. What the original Internet did to information, the blockchain-based Internet is doing to value. This is providing an investment opportunity that is far greater than the original Internet.
“Like all the highly disruptive technologies that came before it, blockchain technology remains largely misunderstood and underappreciated, often ignored and overlooked by institutional allocators. This perception is rapidly changing as early applications of the technology prove highly impactful, with early investment results that outperform any technology before it. Legends4Legends aims to help allocators sift through the noise and recognize the true potential of blockchain technology.”
Legends4Legends is a charity event that raises funds for Alternatives4Children, (https://alternatives4children.com/), a leading alternative investment charity.
Theta Capital was founded in 2001 and was among the first and largest institutional investors in the world to invest in blockchain technology, having deployed capital into the space since January 2018. Theta’s unique network allows it to organize such a special event, the company is the main sponsor of the event and curates the agenda.
Ruud Smets, CIO, Theta Capital, added: “Our conversations with many institutional allocators have made it clear that there is a strong need for a content-driven event that discusses the promise and applications of blockchain technology in a language that traditional investors can understand. Legends4Legends has proven to be that event, attracting the best and brightest in the industry and an audience of allocators who appreciate the opportunity to learn about what I believe will be the greatest value unlock of our generation.”
