🚀 Animoca’s Yat Siu on CNBC: The Next Phase of Web3 Adoption In his recent CNBC interview, Yat Siu, Chairman of Animoca Brands, shared powerful insights on the evolving crypto ecosystem and what it means for businesses and investors: 🔹 Bitcoin vs. Ethereum ·       Bitcoin = Digital Gold: A store of value, rarely spent. ·       Ethereum = Utility: With ~$100B in total value locked, it powers stablecoins, NFTs, and L2s. Because ETH is used and spent, its rise fuels broader ecosystem growth. 🔹 The Coming Altcoin Wave As ETH strengthens (with predictions of $6K–$10K ahead), capital will cascade into altcoins and Web3 ecosystems. Corporates moving treasury allocations from BTC → ETH → other tokens show how adoption will spread across the industry. 🔹 Internet Money → Internet Customers Accepting tokens isn’t only a payment play. It’s access to a loyal, liquid, and growing community. Just like selling in different fiat currencies, offering goods in ETH, SAND, or other tokens lowers friction and builds deeper engagement. 🔹 A New Global Wealth Class and 🌍 The Big Picture Over 500 million people worldwide now own crypto and digital assets. This isn’t just about asset prices – it’s a massive new customer base. Luxury brands were early movers, integrating NFTs and Web3 strategies to reach this audience. The token economy already represents $4T+ in market cap. Every cycle of adoption redistributes value across projects, creating new opportunities for builders, brands, and investors alike. 🙌 At True Global Ventures, we share Yat’s conviction: the real story isn’t just crypto prices, but the transformation of money into a new internet-native customer economy. 👀 Watch the interview: https://lnkd.in/grXu26Em

Kicked off GM Vietnam - Vietnam Blockchain Week with the conversations that matter most! 🛡️ Starting #GMVietnam2025 with our QuillAudits ➡️ Web3 Security 🥷🛡️ Security Mixer event at the venue, because before we onboard the next billion users, we need to make sure we can keep them safe. The timing couldn't be more critical: → $3.1B lost in Web3 this year (and we're only halfway through). → Social engineering attacks targeting wallet users at scale. These conversations will set the tone for everything we discuss. You can't have mass adoption without mass security. The question we're all grappling with: How do we make crypto wallets as intuitive as Venmo but as secure as Google? This is where the real conversations happen, before the panels, beyond the presentations. Looking forward to connecting with: → Wallet builders solving the UX vs security tradeoff. → Security researchers on the front lines of emerging threats. → Infrastructure teams building the rails for safer on-boarding → Founders who understand that trust = security + transparency.

Hong Kong’s Stablecoins Ordinance comes into effect today (1 August) and marks the implementation of the regulatory regime, introducing a robust regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers. We believe it is better for regulated stablecoin business, which is still in its infancy, to start with stricter regulations to ensure sound operation. With practical experience gained, we will be in a position to be flexible in certain areas. This will be a more suitable approach than dealing with the consequences left by lax regulations. ⚠ Important notice: Please be aware that, as of today, no licence has been issued by the HKMA. We urge the public to stay vigilant to any persons who claim to be regulated or licensed stablecoin issuers in Hong Kong. Follow our social media channels and visit the HKMA website for more details and the latest development on the licensing regime. #HKMAInnovates #StablecoinRegulation #ResponsibleInnovation #DigitalAssetEcosystem #FinancialStability #AntiScam
