Ryze Labs - Web3, AI, Crypto and Beyond

Matthew Graham is the Managing Partner at Ryze Labs, a fund investing in blockchain innovators worldwide who are building Web3 applications to drive adoption and expand access to the next generation of the internet.

Why you should listen

In this conversation, Matthew Graham, managing partner at Ryze Labs, discusses the intersection of AI and crypto, the investment thesis of Ryze Labs, and the potential of Web3.

He emphasizes the importance of stablecoins in the financial infrastructure, describing stablecoins as the "best product-market fit in crypto," especially for emerging markets where hyperinflation undermines local currencies.

The discussion also touches on the future of AI technologies and the challenges faced in the crypto space. Graham believes the future of crypto involves autonomous AI agents operating above Layer 1 protocols. These agents will transact on-chain, manage wallets, trade assets, and execute user commands—essentially acting as a user's "digital twin."

Ryze Labs invests in the builders of blockchain technology around the globe that are designing Web3 applications that will accelerate adoption and democratize access to the next generation of the internet. Ryze Labs has always supported projects founded by hard-working visionaries that work with cutting-edge technologies, located in the next Silicon Valley. Ryze Labs leverages emerging markets expertise as strategic investors for best-in-class web3 projects looking to expand their international presence into emerging markets with high-growth potential. Ryze has invested in some of the most successful web3 projects to date, including Solana, LayerZero, Polygon, and Wintermute.
