Valor’s Inaugural Crypto Summit took place over June 6 and 7 at the Emiliano hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
The objective of the summit was to be a bridge between the public and private sectors focused on Crypto technologies, policies and solutions. We received incredible feedback regarding the location, format, the diverse and high-quality content, speakers, and attendees. From the Summit, it was clear that Crypto adoption has reached escape velocity and Brazil is and will continue to be a leader in the global crypto ecosystem based on the large and fertile market, progressive Central Bank, and talent in the country.
Valor has become the leading venture fund in the region focused on crypto and blockchain technologies and is committed to this evolving sector. During the summit, we had amazing panels and conversations with key global leaders and wanted to highlight a few:
