The crypto and blockchain space keeps watching the traditional VC playbook evolve. With tech IPO activity hitting records, Index Ventures—the Switzerland-based fund known for backing bold founders—is now ramping up its next wave of investment leadership. The firm's making strategic moves to develop emerging fund managers who'll shape the Web3 and fintech landscape moving forward. This mirrors what we're seeing across the industry: veteran VCs aren't just deploying capital into projects, they're actively building the next generation of decision-makers. It's worth noting how traditional venture capital is adapting to crypto markets, recruiting talent, and preparing institutional frameworks for what could be a transformative bull run ahead.

I am optimistic about traditional VC entering the crypto space this time. Index's strategy of nurturing new talent and management still has some merit.

Traditional VC entering the market and setting up frameworks, frankly, is just about sensing the wind coming.

Really? Traditional VC is only now starting to take Web3 seriously. It's a bit late, isn't it?

Traditional VCs entering Web3, this is getting interesting. It seems that institutions will ultimately have to bow down.

Traditional VC entry looks good, but I bet five bucks that I'm still being cut for leek by big institutions... I've seen this script too many times.

Hmm, traditional VCs are starting to seriously get into Web3 now. Looks like there's really no way out.

Index is indeed playing chess this time, cultivating the next generation of fund managers is a long-term strategy.

Traditional VC entering Web3, to put it simply, they also see through this cycle... Those who held onto their chips have already made a fortune. Those who are only now coming to build the ecosystem need to consider their own risk factors.
