Sheraz Ahmed @CryptoSherazo has spent years at the intersection of Web3, institutional adoption, and policy. As Managing Partner of STORM Partners @STORM_Partners and founder of Decentral House, Geneva's innovation centre for emerging technologies, he has built one of the most active professional services operations in the space. At the Louvre, he brought that perspective to the TaoStats Stage, moderating a panel on How Tokenised Markets Create New Opportunities for Investors. Where tokenised markets are creating real opportunities beyond the pilot phase. What demand looks like today. And what separates durable tokenised markets from experiments. The legal design, the liquidity, the infrastructure, the regulatory conditions. The full picture, from someone who has been building toward this moment for years. Thank you Sheraz for bringing that conversation to the Louvre.

Xiao-Xiao J. Zhu @xxjzhu started with venture building at BCG, then TMT private equity at KKR. The thread across all of it: how capital, payments, and markets move. Today he is President of Jupiter @JupiterExchange, the leading onchain finance platform built on Solana, processing over $1 trillion in annual volume across trading, payments, and financial services. At the Louvre, he brought that perspective to the Proof of Talk stage. Until next time.

Three builders who lived through every chapter of institutional digital finance. One panel that asked which parts aged well, which did not, and what comes next.

What does it take for a Tier 1 investor from the US or Asia to fly all the way to the Louvre? Spoiler: it's not because of the museum. @sjdedic just gave us the answer. The Founder of @MoonrockCapital, the Munich fund writing first checks into category-defining founders, took the Main Stage at the Louvre this June. He also served as a jury member on the Proof of Pitch General Track, helping decide which founders walked away with the cap table they had been chasing for. His verdict on Proof of Talk: one of the best events in Europe, and one of the very few that gather a truly global senior audience. Simply, the annual Davos of Web3 any decision-maker has on its calendar. Thank you, Simon. See you in 2027.
