PANews December 25 news, Jon Ma, the founder of the cryptocurrency institutional data platform Artemis, shared his experience of transitioning from traditional finance to the cryptocurrency industry on social media. He mentioned that when he first encountered Bitcoin in 2015, he did not pay much attention to it until he revisited and purchased Bitcoin and other crypto assets in 2017.
He stated that through conversations with Erik Voorhees of Shapeshift, he began to realize the possibility of separating currency from government. In the following years, he missed the DeFi boom and the rise of NFTs, but re-entered the crypto space in 2021, investing in Solana and its NFTs, and attempted to participate in DeFi projects.
He also supported Filipino scholars through Axie Infinity with his girlfriend. He believes that in the future, participants in the traditional finance sector will drive the growth of crypto assets from $3.5 trillion to over $100 trillion. Asset management firms like Fidelity and BlackRock are actively launching digital asset ETFs and related products, while the world's largest fintech companies, Stripe and Visa, may also benefit from the cryptocurrency payment networks.
