Early Stage Investing in Asia
summary
Panelists lay out concrete bets and results: a $100M early-stage fund raised last year, an NFT marketplace that pulls $180M revenue, backing of 30+ funds and a 1.4B daily-volume orderbook experience. Focus is on institutional DeFi and tokenized private credit that can cut backend costs ~26%, hybrid orderbook models and order book DEXes for institutional UX, ZK infrastructure investments, and operational support (engineer teams, token design, listings) to actually scale projects.
