Hello reader,
VC Twitter is rife with discussions around the coming crypto winter.
Yet some say it’s simply the storm before the calm: The blockchain companies that survive the coming drought will see the dawn of the technology’s application era and capitalize on it.
It made me wonder whether the future of blockchain and crypto lies in Asia’s emerging markets.
After all, as our latest episode of Startup Frontiers discusses, Vietnam could go from being Southeast Asia’s blockchain hub to becoming a global blockchain leader, provided local players capture the opportunities in front of them.
Perhaps we’ll see more crypto startups make our list of top fundraises soon.
