Save the Date: 4th Annual Web3 Investor Day 2025
Celebrating Chicago’s place as a Global Web3 Hub during TechChicago Week
We are proud to announce the return of our 4th Annual Web3 Investor Day, taking place in Chicago on July 24, 2025. Co-presented by Bridge Alternatives Digital, Decasonic, Sterling Bay, VanEck, and New Form Capital, this year’s gathering continues our shared mission to unite global leaders in capital and innovation around the future of Web3.
Web3 Investor Day has become a cornerstone event for institutional allocators, venture firms, trading groups, founders, and policy leaders. Built on the strength of our community and driven by conviction through every cycle, this year’s theme captures the energy and momentum powering the industry forward:
Full Speed Ahead.
The Web3 x AI Market Map Series: Base
Web3 x AI Ecosystem Series: Base Ecosystem Market Map
-– Abdul Al Ali, Venture Investor at Decasonic
We are excited to kick off the Web3 x AI Ecosystem market map with Base, an ETH L2 developed by Coinbase and launched on August 9, 2023. Base is built on the OP stack and is EVM compatible. It leverages Coinbase’s 110m verified users (updated as of Q4 2022), and provides a distribution avenue for Coinbase users to go on-chain. Few ecosystems to date have done similar to Base in terms of launching, developing, and maintaining a large number of Web3 x AI projects that are rapidly gaining adoption and refining the emerging Web3 x AI landscape. This is in part, due to sheer resources and distribution channels available to Base ecosystem builders, fueled by the support of Coinbase and their active developments at the intersection of Web3 x AI.
Female DeFi: The Next $1 Trillion Opportunity in Decentralized Finance
Unlocking a New Market and Movement in Web3
-– Teresa Liang, Venture Investor & Paul Hsu, CEO and Founder, Decasonic
Decentralized Finance (DeFi), one of the most promising sectors in Web3, aspires to expand access by removing intermediaries and empowering individual ownership. Despite early efforts to increase women's participation in traditional finance (TradFi), including the launch of ETFs focused on women and implementing inclusive business models by FinTech platforms like Ellevest and Alinea Invest, gender disparities continue to persist in the financial services industry. While TradFi and Web2 have recognized the importance of women in financial inclusion, Web3 has the opportunity to design products and GTM strategies with mainstream women in mind.
