The House of Web3 recently elected a new board, signalling a shift toward a more autonomous decentralised organization.

At its core, the House of Web3 is committed to promoting the adoption and understanding of Web3 technologies, which include blockchain, decentralized finance (DeFi), and tokenization. The association provides a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and professional development, offering members numerous opportunities to engage with the latest trends and innovations in the digital finance space.

“It’s great to build such a community of key actors in Luxembourg, one of the first pillars of having a real Web3 ecosystem, coming together to build, and share expertise. We are proud of our accomplishments, we have come far from our monthly events, Discord channel, and memberships,” said Michael Duval, Senior Manager, Baker Tilly Luxembourg, and board member of House of Web3.

Through various events, workshops, and seminars, the House of Web3 aims to educate the community and raise awareness about the potential and applications of Web3 technologies. Through a Discord channel, members find out more about opportunities, regulations, events, and all related to Web3.

Decentralized autonomous organization

In a significant move for the organization, the House of Web3 recently elected a new board of directors during its annual general assembly on Thursday, April 25, 2024. This election saw nine new directors join the board, each bringing their experience and perspectives. The diverse backgrounds of the new board members reflect the inclusive nature of the House of Web3 and underscore its commitment to driving the association forward with innovative and strategic initiatives.

“Today the web3 community stands united, we are not founder friendly, we are friendly founders,” said Harry Lars Ghillemyn, founder of Woud Law. One of the primary goals of the new leadership is to establish a genuine decentralized governance model, aligning with the core principles of Web3. This approach will allow for more inclusive and democratic decision-making processes within the association.

Following the news of the new election, on May 16, a digital finance and Web3 event was organized, bringing together a diverse array of enthusiasts, professionals, and experts in the fields of Web3, blockchain, and finance. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the insightful panel discussions, where attendees had the opportunity to engage deeply with pressing topics shaping the future of digital finance.

Tokenization of real-world assets

The first panel, focused on RWA, tokenization, and adoption. Discussions dove into the complexities and opportunities surrounding real-world assets (RWA), the tokenization of assets, and the broader adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions. Panelists provided valuable insights into how these technologies are reshaping traditional finance models and discussed strategies for wider adoption and integration. “The panel discussions were really informative. I would like to emphasize that the event today is in the Société Générale building, a huge French bank, and stands as a testament to our traction at Web3,” said Nazim Morera, CEO of Koinju, and board member of House of Web3.

Regulation of digital assets and Web3

The second panel, addressing regulation, standardization, and asset management, tackled the crucial issue of regulatory frameworks in the digital finance space, with (MiCA) on the agenda, the importance of standardization for interoperability, and effective asset management strategies in decentralized ecosystems. “Today we decided to participate in the panel discussions, to reinforce the positioning of the adoption and standardization of regulations in the traditional financial markets,” said Louis Chevalier, adoption manager at Nomadic Labs.

Experts shared their perspectives on navigating regulatory landscapes, establishing industry standards, and optimizing asset management practices to ensure security and compliance.

Amongst the second panelists, was Julie Bourgeois, head of compliance and legal at 6 Monks, Luxembourg’s first authorized Luxembourgish alternative investment fund manager (AIFM), to provide services for third-party funds, specializing in private equity, Web3, and crypto-assets. ”It was great for us to be here today, as the House of Web3, gathered all professionals of our space, in one place, from lawyers, key-players, under a great initiative, to converse freely and discover what we can do together, and how we can all get better, and at 6 Monks, that’s our focus,” said Bourgeois.

Future of Web3

Throughout both panel discussions, attendees actively participated in the dialogue, posing thought-provoking questions and sharing diverse perspectives, on the future of real-life industries, and the interplay of Web3, including tokenization, regulations, and innovation across sectors. “The event today showcased how collaboration and user experience for the advancement and the beneficial adoption of Web3 in the business ecosystem is vital for advancing,” said Leonel Marques, president of the House of Web3. The exchange of ideas and insights underscored the collaborative spirit of the sector and highlighted the collective commitment to driving innovation and progress in digital finance and Web3.

As the panels concluded, a special announcement added to the excitement of the event, hinting at future initiatives and developments that will continue to shape the landscape of digital finance and Web3 technologies. Following the panels, attendees had the opportunity to network and forge valuable connections, further enriching their experience and fostering collaboration within the community.
