The Digital Assets Venture Network (DAVN), the new European association dedicated to blockchain and crypto investment, has officially launched. Based in Paris, this initiative brings together investors, Web3 project founders, and legal experts. Its primary goal is to unite the sector to build a more structured and efficient European blockchain ecosystem.
What is DAVN’s mission?
DAVN’s mission is clear: to educate, unite, and promote blockchain venture capital players across Europe.
By fostering cross-border collaboration and sharing knowledge, the association seeks to accelerate innovation and growth in the sector.
Thus, DAVN aims to position Europe as a global leader in blockchain and cryptocurrency investments, thereby seeking to narrow the current gap with more mature markets such as the United States.
To achieve its goals and help its members stay at the forefront of innovation, the Digital Assets Venture Network engages in several strategic activities
Regulation and advocacy: The association works directly with European Union regulators. It continuously monitors the legislative framework, particularly the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation, to ensure its members can navigate the compliance environment and leverage it effectively.
Sharing expertise: DAVN produces articles, white papers, and case studies, and offers training programs, webinars, and mentoring to standardize best investment practices.
Networking and opportunities: The organization hosts exclusive events, conferences, workshops, and roundtables to facilitate networking, co-investment opportunities, and the discovery of new companies.
An alliance of leading professionals
DAVN was founded by a team of professionals from Europe’s leading investment firms, which immediately attests to its credibility.
Founding members include Bpifrance, Truffle Capital, Eurazeo, Greenfield Capital, and Leadblock Partners, as well as Morpho Labs (DeFi protocol) and d&a partners (crypto law firm).
The Board of Directors is chaired by Ivan de Lastours of Bpifrance, and the treasurer is Evelyne Raby of Morpho Labs. This strong leadership, backed by a panel of recognized entities, is essential for presenting a united front to policymakers and financial institutions.
By creating this network, the DAVN aims to build the necessary bridge for European venture capital in digital assets to thrive and actively contribute to the ongoing technological and financial revolution.
