Summary

Matthew Le Merle, co-founder of Blockchain Coinvestors, discusses his journey from early fintech and digital content investments to becoming a leading voice in blockchain venture capital.

Le Merle emphasizes the increasing institutional adoption of blockchain technologies and the importance of distinguishing between speculative tokens and projects delivering real value. He also predicts a future of consolidation in the crypto space, with emerging "super apps" and AI-driven innovation playing a critical role.
