Just in: The total #crypto market cap surpasses $2.46T, a level we haven't seen since earlier this year in July. #Bitcoin has just broke above $75k, setting another ATH.
Are you feeling excited for the #DigitalAssets space? 🙂
The month of #Blocktober has certain flew by and it's been nothing short of amazing, as expected! 🎉
The team managed to attend quite a few prominent events, such as GameOn, #Solana HackerHouse, FinTech Week, the #Cyberport Venture Capital Forum and more. 🙂
One of the highlights of the month was definitely #HongKongFintechWeek, which was a pivotal gathering of financial institutions, innovative projects and enthusiasts in the bustling city of #HongKong. A lot of discussions were made on the future of #Web3, #AI and the convergence of both #TradFi and #DeFi. 🌐
While Blocktober might be over, we believe ecosystem growth is an ongoing journey. In Hong Kong, sentiments seem positive with the government's proactive stance, community engagement and attraction of international BUIDLers, putting the city in a positive spot in becoming a hub for #fintech and #digitalassets. 🌏

Yesterday we also managed to pop by Not Your Token - an event celebrating some of the most influential women in #technology in the Asia Pacific region, hosted by AllStarsWomen DAO, Women in Blockchain Alliance, and WEB3WED. 👥
The event was a deep dive into the latest trends in #blockchain, #AI and upcoming technologies. Some projects were there to showcase demos of their product while getting feedback from the participants, with a fun public vote at the end for each attendee's favourite demo.
It was a really good opportunity for founders to gain valuable insights on their project in a nurturing and supportive environment. 😊
The panel sessions were also relevant - covering what investors are looking for in the growing ecosystem and how teams are tackling an AI-first organization.
As #Blocktober comes to an end, we're reminded that these gatherings are important to bring together like-minded people in the space, while also welcoming newcomers interested in the field, for the long-term growth of the ecosystem. 🌐
#HongKongFintechWeek Day 2 was also a hustle and bustle of activities! 🙂 A lot of the sessions were centered around #AI, #payments, regulations and funding in the space.
The panelists from 'Web 3.0 Funding: The New Rules of the Game' highlighted how it feels like this year's bull market has felt more muted than previous bull runs - without the massive hype of "trends" such as NFTs - but it isn't necessarily a bad thing from a Web3 investor and project perspective, as this allows them to really get to know and evaluate different solid projects, while projects can focus on BUIDLing great products. ✅
Apart from the main conference at Asia World Expo, there were many other satellite events and happenings across the city for #Blocktober and #Fintech Week - it's really positive to see this level of activity and enthusiasm for the space.
If you attended HK Fintech Week this year, which sessions did you enjoy most? Will you be back next year? 😉

Day 2 of the #Solana Hacker House was equally interesting. ✅
Today's panel session deep dived into adoption of #gaming in the space and challenges in user acquisition for #Web3, experts shared that the key lies in creating as frictionless a user experience as possible with a key focus on mobile-centric experiences. 📲 While earlier in the day, there were VC 'speed dating' opportunities with notable companies like #AnimocaBrands, Newman Capital etc to foster connections and test synergies between projects and investors.
Day 2 also featured a #Paypal USD Pitch Competition - allowing local projects in the space to showcase their innovations, with the Head Engineer from Solana and the team from Paypal USD judging the pitches and providing valuable feedback. 🤝
It's always inspiring to see passion and energy from all sides in the ecosystem, reminding us that it truly takes committed #buidlers to work together for the growth of the space.
