Through its series of blockchain venture funds, Theta has been capturing exposure to over 80% of the leading crypto projects, all from an early stage.
Ruud Smets, CIO, Theta Capital, said, “We have turned the corner on the 2022/2023 crypto winter and are at the start of the industry’s fifth price-innovation cycle. We think there is a generational investment opportunity available now to invest in the future of blockchain infrastructure.”

The report features insights and outlooks from crypto’s leading experts including many of the crypto-native venture funds Theta invests in.
The report argues that “blockchain technology is the foundation enabling the next evolution of the internet. It will propel our financial systems and commerce into the digital age, much as the previous generation of internet protocols revolutionized information and media.”
