Belgrade Blockchain Week @belgradebw 🇷🇸
Two co-hosted side events, a VC panel, and a week spent with founders and investors across the @solana and @ethereum ecosystems — a busy week for V3V Ventures at Solana Summit Serbia and @ethbelgrade.
We co-hosted two founder × investor gatherings around Solana Summit:
• The Solana Mixer, together with @SuperteamBLKN and Elevator Ventures
• A second gathering co-hosted with @superteam, focused on bringing together the Solana Summit Demo Day founders and investors including @RockawayX and @AccVentures
Furthemore, V3V Partner Stan Nedic (@0xstajus) participated in the Solana Summit VC panel and the VIP / Speaker Dinner, as well as @ethbelgrade and other gatherings throughout the week.
It was great to spend time with the @SolanaFndn, @superteam, @solflare, @TenderlyApp, @DeFiSaver, @0xCurvy and many others.
Belgrade hosted 45+ side events running across the week, but more importantly, a genuinely strong concentration of founders, capital and ecosystem talent.
The Balkans continue to be one of the more underrated Web3 pockets in Europe — and one we’re happy to keep showing up for.
Shoutout to @SuperteamBLKN and @ethbelgrade for putting up a great show 👏

We’re bringing together a curated group of VCs, family offices, angels, and founders in Belgrade ahead of the Solana Summit.
On August 24, we’re co-hosting the Solana Mixer with @SuperteamBLKN and Elevator Ventures (Raiffeisen Bank), as part of Belgrade Blockchain Week.
Limited spots, invite only.

Last week, @v3v_ventures was in Paris for @proofoftalk — and it was one of the most energizing events we've been part of this year
Together with @DFG__Official, we co-hosted an investor dinner on the sidelines of the conference. The kind of dinner where you lose track of time because the conversations are actually good. No panels, no decks — just VCs and founders being direct about what they're building and where things are heading
A few things stood out: founder quality at PoT has genuinely jumped. And despite everything you read about market sentiment, early-stage appetite is real — the right builders are still getting backed
Big thank you to @MoonrockCapital, @1kxnetwork, @greenfield_cap, @AccVentures and everyone else who joined us at the table. You made it worth the trip
See you at the next one 🫡

A few insiders reached out to me regarding this tweet:
1) The foundation has allegedly changed the $LAB vesting schedule before to keep the pump going. The next unlock is now reportedly pushed to August.
2) They’re making deals with CEXs, handing over large amounts of $LAB tokens so they let the scam run on their exchanges.
3) The market maker behind the $LAB pump is reportedly the same one involved in the massive Movement Labs $MOVE pump and dump.
4) The funniest part: investors are apparently not allowed to derisk through OTC desks because the team is currently negotiating with an OTC desk to sell its own tokens.
lol
Every single time I am calling out $LAB to be a scam, it just does another 2x
It‘s trading at $16 BILLION FDV now and hence apparently more valuable than companies like Chainlink, Near, Morpho, AAVE, Sky etc.
This is getting out of hand and is absolutely not going to end well.
Serge P | V3V retweeted
It’s almost funny how obvious this $LAB scam is, yet nobody seems to be doing anything about it.
The token is up another 2x this week and is now trading at an $8.6 BILLION FDV.
It’s pretty clear that shady market makers are painting the chart to lure in retail traders and then extract liquidity from them. The sad part is that something like this is only possible with the supportof CEXs, since you’d need fee-exempt accounts to pull it off at scale. Otherwise, the costs would be far too high.
For example, if you look at DEXs like PancakeSwap, there’s so little liquidity for a token supposedly worth nearly 11-digits that a $10,000 buy order would move the price by more than 70%.
That’s absurd.
One thing is certain: there will always be shady founders trying to get rich through scams. That’s just the unfortunate reality of human nature, and it’s a problem that exists in every industry.
What I find even more disappointing is that major industry players like @Gate, @kucoincom, and @bitget are willing to facilitate this kind of activity just to make a quick buck, even though it damages the very industry they operate in. It shows how short-term and purely profit-driven their thinking is without any moral.
Use DEXs or you’re part of the problem.

There are investor dinners and then there is the @proofoftalk Investor Dinner hosted by @DFG__Official and @v3v_ventures.
The @DFG__Official × @v3v_ventures Investor Dinner is happening at Proof of Talk. And you want to be at this table.
If you’re a founder:
You’re sitting across from capital that has already written the check on @ethereum, @solana, @circle, @NEARProtocol and @Ledger and a fund that gets on a call with you about your architecture the week after they invest.
If you’re an investor:
This dinner is the moment where you skip the guess talking stage. The founders in this room were selected.
The allocators around this table include some of the most active names deploying into digital assets right now.
Expect faces from funds like @multicoin, @Arrington_Cap, @Pantera, @dragonflyvc, @animocabrands, @TheSpartanGroup, @ForesightVen and LPs quietly watching what the next cycle surfaces.
The guest list is curated jointly by DFG, V3V, and the Proof of Talk team.
This isn’t open registration. Every seat is reviewed. Which means everyone around that table is worth talking to.
One long table. One of Paris’s most iconic restaurants. 150 seats.
If you’re building something real or deploying serious capital, this is the dinner you don’t miss.

This year, @EthPrague was lean in the best way.
Municipal House was an amazing venue — historic, but practical — which meant fewer distractions and more builder-focused convos.
Kudos to the organizers for making it happen despite the challenges.
The @VitalikButerin × @jbaylina fireside on upgraded rollups was a highlight.
And as always, familiar faces made it worth showing up. See you soon at @proofoftalk in Paris!

The data from @dantwany tells the story pretty simply. The number of VCs deploying:
2022: 5,300+
2026: <400
Down 90%+
As I noted in pre-seed/seed its worse. I got to ~30 below based on the QTs and from speaking with peers.
Here is the list of who is still deploying for those raising at under $100M val:
- Varys Capital (me)
- Coinfund (@EvanTheFeng )
- Dragonfly_xyz (@HadickM, @TheOneandOmsy )
- 6thManVentures (@mdudas )

The shift in the crypto fundraising landscape the past 6 months has been insane.
Crypto VCs used to have to constantly be networking/writing/podcasting/going on spaces/promoting your thesis/getting on 10 deal flow calls a week, to get into good deals...now it's literally enough to just have capital to write checks.
Deals are being pushed rather than dug out. Inbound if people know you have money is at an all-time high.
Most firms are either 1) Out of money 2) Moved to Series A and beyond or 3) Fundraising (with no success).
Deals that used to close in 2-3 weeks now close in 2-3 months.
Firms with questionable business models or copy pasta of the latest trend are getting zero primary or follow-on funding (Good news!).
There are now realistically <20 firms writing checks in pre-seed/seed.
VCs basically have the pick of any deal they want, with more time to do DD.
IMHO 25/26 are going to be historic vintages for those who stick around.

There’s no point calling the market dead while the best rooms at @EthCC are still full of builders, funds, and real opportunities.
Great week for V3V Ventures in Cannes 🇫🇷 — our team had a real blast, and a few strong collabs are already in motion. More details soon!
