By Cointime.com 237

The Web3 Venture Capital industry is one of the most visible sectors today, focusing on supporting and investing in startups and projects that are driving innovation in Web3 technology and blockchain, which represents a profound improvement and revolutionization of the traditional Internet model, aiming to build a more decentralized, transparent, secure, and user-driven Internet ecosystem.

Many forward-looking and promising tracks have emerged in the Web3 Ventures industry, including Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Distributed Applications (DApps), Digital Identity, Smart Contracts, and Data Ownership. Through the introduction of blockchain technology and cryptography, Web3 provides users with greater privacy protection, control over personal data, and decentralized decision-making mechanisms. This decentralization-based architecture makes traditional intermediaries unnecessary, which reduces transaction costs, enhances security, and creates a broader space for entrepreneurs and developers to innovate.

However, the Web3 venture capital industry also faces a number of challenges. First, the maturity and scalability of the technology is a major issue, with limitations in network throughput, transaction speed and energy efficiency needing to be addressed.

Second, uncertainty in the regulatory environment is an important consideration for investors and entrepreneurs. Regulatory policies and regulations for digital assets are not well developed in different jurisdictions, which creates certain risks and uncertainties for the industry.

In addition, the fierce competition in the market also puts higher demands on entrepreneurs and project teams, requiring technical prowess, business insights, and good marketing strategies.

Despite the many challenges, the Web3 Ventures industry is still seen as a field of opportunity by entrepreneurs, technologists and investors alike. Continuous technology development, partnership building, and the ability to adapt to regulatory changes will be key ingredients for success. Over time, it is expected that the Web3 Ventures industry will continue to attract more capital and talent injections and play a significant role in the future of the digital economy.

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."

  • ECB board member Villeroy: Falling inflation allows ECB to cut interest rates

     ECB board member Villeroy de Galhau said in an interview that the decline in inflation allows the ECB to lower interest rates. In addition, the slow pace of price increases compared to average wages is also a factor in the rate cut. Villeroy de Galhau emphasized that the ECB's interest rate policy decision is independent of the Fed. Evidence shows that the ECB began to lower interest rates in early June, while the Fed lowered interest rates three months later. With the decline in inflation, we will be able to continue to lower interest rates. Currently, the market generally expects the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the next meeting in December, but weaker data increases the possibility of a 50 basis point cut.
