Bitcoin After ATH? VC Insights From Davos on Crypto, XRP, AI & Tokenization

Is Bitcoin entering a new phase after its all-time high? At Web3 Hub Davos, we sit down with Matthias from CV Labs, a leading Web3 venture capital firm, to break down what truly matters next for Bitcoin, crypto, blockchain, and Web3 innovation. In this in-depth podcast, Matthias shares a long-term VC perspective on crypto markets beyond bull and bear cycles, explaining why price volatility matters less than real-world use cases, tokenization, AI on blockchain rails, and institutional adoption. We discuss how venture capital views Bitcoin after ATH, whether crypto is still early, the future of XRP and Ripple, consolidation among Layer 1s and Layer 2s, and why tokenized stocks and digital assets could redefine global finance. From regulation and central banks to liquidity risks and emerging markets like Africa, this conversation goes beyond hype and focuses on structural change in the crypto ecosystem.
