Smart Money Panel at Cosmoverse 2023

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Panelists compare hard numbers and concrete pilots: one investor reports $2 billion deployed in crypto and later-stage, large-ticket deals; a fund describes a portfolio of 200 projects and early investments since 2015. Examples include a bank pilot to tokenize money market funds, AML tooling selling into incumbents, exchanges launching their own chains, and payments using Lightning and layer‑2 rails. Consensus: centralized and decentralized venues coexist now, with gradual migration where regulatory compliance and verifiable trust layers drive adoption.
