CoinVoice recently learned that Jon Ma, founder of the cryptocurrency data platform Artemis, shared his cryptocurrency investment journey. He first encountered Bitcoin in 2015 through a computer science course but did not pay much attention to it; it wasn't until the peak of the 2017 bull market that he began purchasing cryptocurrencies like BTC and Litecoin. His conversations with ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees during this time made him realize that government and money could be separated.
After that, he missed the 2020 DeFi summer and the 2021 NFT boom, returning to the crypto market only in mid-2021, purchasing SOL and Solana NFTs through FTX US, and engaging with projects like ENS and Wonderland Money. He also participated in Axie Infinity with his girlfriend and established a scholarship program in the Philippines.
Ma stated that compared to traditional SaaS, fintech, and internet consumer sectors, cryptocurrencies have created a larger global labor and financial system. Looking ahead, he expects traditional finance (TradFi) participants to drive the market capitalization of crypto assets from the current $3.5 trillion to over $100 trillion.
With major asset management institutions like Fidelity and BlackRock launching digital asset ETFs, and payment giants like Stripe and Visa entering the cryptocurrency payment space, traditional finance participants will become the main force shaping the global digital financial system after 2025.
