Investment Potential at Aptos Experience
OKX Ventures today announced that its Partner, Jeff Ren,
recently moderated a panel discussion on "APAC's Investment
Potential & Key Drivers for Adoption" at The Aptos
Experience event on September 5, 2024.
The panel brought together industry leaders including Aptos Labs
CEO and Co-Founder Mo Shaik, Jambo Founder James Zhang and IRONGREY
Head of Investment Vincent Park to discuss the growth and evolution
of the Web3 ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region.
Key highlights from the panel discussion include:
- Importance of Robust
Infrastructure: Panelists emphasized the dynamic nature of
Web3 infrastructure, with popular blockchains like Aptos
leading the charge. The discussion highlighted how robust
infrastructure is crucial for the growth of the application layer,
exemplified by projects like the JamboPhone and the OKX
Wallet.
- Bridging Web2 and Web3: Jambo's innovative
approach with their $99 Web3 phone targeting the Southeast Asia
market was highlighted as a prime example of bringing Web2 users
into the Web3 ecosystem through accessible hardware and
pre-installed Web3 apps.
- Developer Engagement: Aptos Labs'
strategy of actively engaging with younger Korean developers,
communities and students was discussed as a model for fostering
innovation and adoption in the region.
- AI Integration: The panel explored the
potential synergies between AI and Web3 technologies, emphasizing
the need for decentralized and secure data access. The discussion
touched on AI's potential to enhance content generation while
addressing regulatory considerations.
- Regional Focus:
IRONGREY's investment strategy in both infrastructure and
application layers was presented as a testament to the region's
potential, with expectations for further Web3 innovations to emerge
from APAC.
This announcement comes after OKX Ventures and Aptos
Foundation recently announced the launch of a new USD $10 million
fund aimed at supporting the growth of the Aptos ecosystem and
widespread adoption of Web3. Earlier this year, OKX Ventures
and Jambo formed a partnership aimed at enhancing the
accessibility of the digital economy in emerging markets by
combining advanced Web3 and mobile technologies.
