GM, sharing our latest research 'Asian Private Wealth in Digital Assets' on the latest state of #crypto in private wealth POV. We witnessed some interesting sentiment changes in #crypto for the last 3 years. #1 Crypto: It's not an invest-or-not question, but rather how much should we invest Compared to our last study with KPMG China, 58% are investing in crypto, 34% will invest in the future. This time, 76% are investing, 18% to invest in the future. A notable improvement! #2 Private wealth's interests in #crypto shift with emerging narratives The surveyed respondents are interested in #DeFi, #AI & DePIN and #RWA, hugely different from #metaverse and #store of value in 2022! Private wealth and institutions are actively looking for investment opportunities or even considering to launch their products within those sectors. #3 #BTC price to reach $100k by end of 2024? Q4 set a decent backdrop for BTC to reach new ATHs. Compared to previous years, we've seen constant innovations in key crypto sectors (e.g. DeFi, infra). And don't forget the Bitcoin and Ether spot ETFs are still in their early stages, expecting huge institutional demand in coming months! Around one-third of the respondents predict $BTC to reach at least $100k by end of 2024!

At the #SeliniSummit2024, our Cofounder & CEO Allen Ng had an excellent discussion on crypto gaming with Ilya Paveliev⚡ Founding Partner of Arete Capital, Simon Doherty Head of Capital Markets of Animoca Brands, and Marc Weinstein Partner of Mechanism Capital, and Niels de Ruiter.    "At its core, gaming has always been about the social aspect as much as the gameplay. We play to spend time with friends, to collaborate and compete together. Crypto games have yet to understand that community is key. Community is where the real value lies. By incentivizing the social bonds and networks within games, blockchain has potential to bring people closer while also benefiting players and platforms. It's about capitalizing on what really drives gaming at its source - our social relationships with others," said Allen. The insights shared by Allen highlight our commitment to being at the forefront of consumer adoption in the rapidly evolving space. It's an exciting time for the industry, and we're thrilled to be part of driving its future. A special thanks to Selini for the invitation to a meaningful discussion. Let's continue to drive forward the next wave of gaming experiences together!
