I love this and you should, too

Quick update in a nutshell:

• Tokenization Season kickoff was fire - Zurich delivered big time, London's up next (September 11th), and our free industry calls are packed with partner playbooks you won't want to miss

• w3.hub hit 139 members - Our Berlin community is thriving with co-working, free meetups for smaller projects, and our next big event "Do AIs Dream of Blockchains?" drops September 18th

• Ethereum's having a moment - Our latest Web3 Investor Briefing breaks down why ETH is finally getting institutional love, plus Bluerails came out of stealth and we're launching crypto roundtables with Julius & Philipp

GM GM everyone,

I know my "weekly" newsletters have turned into those irregular "oh hey, Vicky's back from the dead" type emails. But honestly? That's actually a good sign. I've been swamped, and I'd rather write these myself than let some AI cobble together generic crypto takes for you.

When life gets chaotic, you deserve the real deal – not some algorithm trying to sound like me. And since people keep telling me I'm "authentic" (whatever that means in 2025), here's your unfiltered look into what's been keeping me busy.

Even though your girl vickchick030 was traveling a lot, she still managed to keep you cc'd on all the experiences, yay <3

We just wrapped the kickoff for Tokenization Season in Zurich, and honestly? It was a complete success.

You can read my full breakdown here with all the behind-the-scenes thoughts and key takeaways from the event.

But I know most of you would rather watch than read, so we also put together this absolutely fire city movie. Seriously, the production quality is chef's kiss – go show it some love:

For everyone wondering what it actually takes to pull off an event like this, your content girl has you covered. I condensed the entire 32-hour process into a digestible 3.5-minute breakdown:

What's Next:

As mentioned in the video, we'll be in London on September 11th. If you're a banker or asset manager, definitely hit us up.

But if you missed both Zurich and can't make it to London, don't worry – you'll still get access to the playbooks from all 9 of our partners.

Our industry calls are completely free and packed with valuable insights. Plus, we're making sure these aren't boring university-style lectures. We want you actively participating and engaging throughout the sessions.

The next one is on September 18th.

Our marketing wizard Quinn absolutely nailed it in his newsletter breakdown of what we've built with the w3.hub community.

Since I don't talk about this enough in my newsletter – here's what you're missing out on (assuming you're in Berlin):

There's never been a better time to lock in.

w3.hub has evolved from a few desks to a thriving builder community that just hit an all-time high of 139 members!

Some people come for the desks, free coffee, or the beautiful space. Most stay for the conversations, the chance encounters, and that feeling of finally being understood.

If you want to build something meaningful, step one is surrounding yourself with people who actually get it. That's exactly what we're here for.

No matter how deep you are in "heads-down mode," you still need balance.

That's part of what we're creating here. And by "we," I mean everyone who works from this space and makes it what it is.

We offer co-working for individuals, teams, office space, opportunities for your meetups (free for smaller projects – you're welcome), and events of all sizes.

Find everything you need on our website, and don't hesitate to reach out.

Speaking of events – we're throwing our own too. The next big one with all those little extras you've come to expect from us is happening September 18th at w3.hub, tackling a topic that couldn't be more relevant:

Have you read our latest Web3 Investor Briefing yet? It covers:

Ethereum's comeback story - How Tom Lee's institutional narrative around stablecoins and ETH treasury companies like Bitmine (aiming for $20B in ETH purchases) are driving serious momentum after two years in Bitcoin's shadow

The "Everything Exchange" evolution - Major platforms like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Kraken are becoming crypto conglomerates, offering tokenized stocks, DeFi integration, and social features all in one place (think Google for Web3)

Ethereum's 10-year milestone - A full decade of uptime proving its reliability as neutral infrastructure, with institutional tokenization and treasury adoption creating structural demand drivers for the next decade

Our portfolio company Bluerails is officially out of stealth mode:

We're launching a roundtable (in German + online) focused on crypto as an alternative asset class with our w3.wave GPs Julius & Philipp (our liquid token fund).

Our friends from M0 are cooooking!

Congrats to our portfolio company (& w3.hub members) Voya Games
