Solana Alt. Investment Summit 📈
Tokenizing Fine Wine: a Bridge to the Next Generation of Investors
Dave and I hit the stage at the Solana Alt. Investment Summit in NYC as the headline speakers. The Alt. Investment Summit is an invite-only gathering for leaders tapping into a growing retail and institutional asset class. We shared our fireside ‘Tokenizing Fine Wine: a Bridge to the Next Generation of Investors’ to a full house of independent thinking founders and investors in the sector.
🔥 Key takeaways of the fireside include:
→ Size of the wine market as an asset class as a whole: 485B in 2023
→ 2023 annual turnover of luxury wine valued at 100B and investment grade wine at 10B
→ Historically, the opacity of the traditional market meant that many players were not able to participate in this lucrative market.
🍷, ⛓️ dVIN Labs takes the lead:
→ Ushering in a new generation of investment in wine, powered by $VIN
→ Creating an inclusive and efficient ecosystem for all types of investors: from traditionally routed to Crypto-Degens
→ Building a bridge to next generation of investors and bring more unified liquidity to the marketplace
→ Developing the operational layer of the whole wine industry, allowing for end-to-end wine provenance tracking and collecting
It was an electric evening at this sold-out event. It’s always great to meet IRL with the Solana team, and meet with other leaders in the RWA and Alt Asset Sector in web3.
Couldn’t make it to NYC to meet IRL?
We got ya - you can catch the fireside here 🔥
Road to $VIN: Challenges & Solutions 🤝
In the lead-up to the Token Generation Event (TGE), dVIN Labs' Road to $VIN series will provide in-depth explorations of the dVIN ecosystem and protocol, highlighting how $VIN will be the driving force in tackling the current challenges facing the wine industry.
Last week we covered: How $VIN Transforms the Wine Industry: Challenges & Solutions
The traditional wine industry suffers from a lack of transparency, with up to five layers of obscurity between vineyard and consumer. dVIN Labs addresses this by leveraging blockchain technology through $VIN:
→ Transparency: Every bottle’s journey from vineyard to table is documented and verifiable.
→ Consumer Trust: Provides verifiable information about wine provenance.
→ Empowerment: Winemakers gain insights; consumers get confidence.
⚡By integrating $VIN, dVIN Labs bridges the gap by:
→ Data Sharing: Winemakers receive valuable consumer data.
→ Personalized Experiences: Consumers enjoy tailored recommendations.
→ Rewards: Wine lovers earn rewards for sharing experiences.

RWA & Tokenizing Rare Wines with SegMint 🔐
Listen in on: https://x.com/i/spaces/1DXGyjWjaPvJM
SegMint founder, Matt Barlett, explained how SegMint is the only NFT fractionalization platform where users maintain ownership of the underlying NFT. It is a self-custody solution with the Lock and Key model, where you can create a digital vault for your web3 collectible. The Lock aspect being a delegate wallet, so the holder can benefit from the utility of their token while their NFT is safe. The Key aspect allows the holder to carry a ‘visual representation’ of their NFT by minting up to 100 ECR1155 tokens ‘Keys’, which facilitates the shared access and unity of the original NFT.
Dave discussed how dVIN Labs’ has built the solution to the lack of unification of data in asset tracking in the wine industry; and how the data (pricing, volume etc.) is currently in silos. With dVIN Labs dePIN technology, there is now a unified source of truth and traceability for the investment grade wine industry, authenticating provenance.
Dave, in fact, has tokenized some of his rare wine with SegMint! 🍷
12 bottles (0.75L) of Weingut Egon Müller 2022 Riesling Scharzhofberger Auslese – sealed, and in the original wood case – were shipped directly from the winery to and arrived at Bordeaux City Bond on June 21, 2024.
You can tune it to X to listen to the Space. Remember - the Space will only have playback for the next 26 days… so don’t sleep on it, listen in now!
