We created Highline Beta ETH, a vertical venture studio, to turn Ethereum’s potential into real-world impact. Our goal: launch up to 10 B2B startups over the next 4–5 years that drive innovation across TradFi and Web3. More than a venture studio, we’re building a movement, one that brings together entrepreneurs, institutions, and the broader ecosystem.
“Ethereum is one of the most impactful technologies of our time and it was born in Canada. It’s time we recognize that, take pride in it, and lead the next wave of innovation it makes possible.”
- Dima Buterin, Highline Beta ETH Venture Partner, serial tech entrepreneur, investor and proud father of Vitalik
We believe entire industries, including finance, identity, supply chains, IP and more will be reimagined. Ethereum enables programmable trust, frictionless value exchange, and global-scale coordination. As its adoption increases, enormous potential is unlocked.
Major US and international corporations are placing big bets on Ethereum, not just in theory, but in practical applications across custody, settlements, identity, tokenization, and more. BlackRock, JPMorgan, Mastercard, PayPal, and others are actively exploring or piloting Ethereum based initiatives. New infrastructure players are emerging. Regulation is catching up. The momentum is undeniable.
At Highline Beta ETH, we’re focused on where Ethereum can drive meaningful B2B impact starting with wealth management, capital markets infrastructure and real world asset tokenization. These are sectors where Ethereum’s strengths - transparency, composability, and automation, can unlock real value, fast.
The global Ethereum commercialization race has begun and there’s no reason Canadian companies can’t be leaders. In fact, we believe this is a necessity. We need Canadian companies with the ambition, willingness and experimental mindset to start exploring how Ethereum can impact their future and the future of all Canadians.
Canada has the chance to lead, not follow, in this revolution. Just as we’ve made a name globally in AI and are fighting to maintain a leadership position, we should do the same in Web3.
The creator of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, was born in Toronto. Ethereum’s roots are Canadian, but its reach is global and growing. We have the talent, the education system, the technical expertise, and a growing base of grassroots builders.
“Canada gave the world Ethereum, now it’s our opportunity to leverage it to transform industries and secure our place as a global Web3 leader.”
- Lucas Matheson, CEO Coinbase Canada
As a generation defining technology, Ethereum has the potential to reshape how value moves, how institutions operate, and how the Internet itself is structured. Canada is home to world class research institutions, a thriving startup ecosystem, and a deep pool of technical talent.
We have the opportunity to not just be the origin story, but the launchpad for what comes next. Let’s stop waiting for international validation. Let’s recognize that world-changing technologies are already being built here, and Canada has everything it takes to lead the next great wave of digital innovation. This is our moment and the world is watching.
Toronto isn’t just Canada’s largest tech city, it’s one of the most diverse, innovative, and collaborative cities in the world. It’s home to global banks and fintechs, scrappy startups, and deep research institutions. It’s a natural intersection point for TradFi and DeFi. If Ethereum is going to commercialize, there’s no better proving ground than Toronto.
We’re not going to build this future alone. Here’s what we’re doing and what we’re inviting the ecosystem to do with us:
We believe Ethereum will underpin the next era of the Internet and we believe Canada should be at the heart of it.
We call on:
Let’s make Canada the world’s Ethereum hub, together.
