📰LEAD STORY

Are You a Web3 Ready™ Investor?

By Dr. Tonya M. Evans

The digital asset space is evolving rapidly. From new regulations and technological innovations to shifting market dynamics, it's no longer enough to simply hold a few tokens or follow headlines. The real question is: are you truly prepared to engage with the digital economy as a knowledgeable, resilient investor?

Being Web3 Ready means more than understanding how to buy or sell crypto. It means you’ve assessed your risk tolerance, understand how to secure your digital assets, and have a clear plan for taxes, tracking, and compliance. It means you’re building long-term strategies—not just reacting to market cycles.

Whether you're an individual investor, a professional managing client assets, or simply exploring the role of digital assets in your broader financial picture, gaining clarity on where you stand is essential.

To support that clarity, I’ve developed a brief self-assessment to help you evaluate your current position. It will help you identify areas of strength and highlight any blind spots you may not have considered—especially if you're navigating this space without a guide.

Take the Web3 Ready™ Investor Assessment below. It takes just a few minutes and provides personalized insight into your readiness to participate safely, strategically, and with confidence.

Being informed is no longer optional. It's foundational.
