🚀 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

I thoroughly enjoyed moderating the panel on the Future of Crypto-Economics at the Nanyang Blockchain Conference organized by NTU CCTF In 2025, we’ve witnessed a global shift in crypto regulation, with notable developments such as the GENIUS Act in the U.S., Hong Kong’s new stablecoin licensing regime, and Singapore’s maturing frameworks. The crypto-economy has transcended its fringe status and is now becoming a regulated and institutionalized part of the financial system. I was eager to understand the perspectives of our panel members on this transformation and its potential impact on the industry and academia. Here are some key takeaways from the panel: - There will be a clash between traditional finance and the decentralized finance (DeFi) community. DeFi users will need to adapt to the evolving regulatory landscape, while traditional finance institutions will need to embrace a more inclusive mindset. - More funds will flow into the crypto industry, with a significant portion likely to be allocated to regulated projects. However, smaller, innovative projects can also benefit from this influx of capital. - Academic research in this field needs to become truly interdisciplinary to effectively navigate the rapidly changing landscape. Single-discipline research is no longer sufficient to address the complexities of the emerging sector. - Further research is essential to fully comprehend the risks and challenges associated with the crypto industry. This research will be crucial in ensuring economic stability as we move forward.
