5 Countries in 3 Weeks: Token Foundry’s Tour Across Asia
After an early-summer series of events in Europe, The Token Foundry team headed east across Asia over the month of July. Starting in Singapore, the team and several clients ventured across Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, and Shanghai in just three weeks.
It’s no secret these cities are a hotbed for blockchain technology and ideology. Genesis Market Insights recently ranked Asia as the fastest growing market in the global blockchain market (which they predict will quadruple by 2023).
From conference halls to start up hubs, the buzz of anticipation for this growth was palpable. The Token Foundry team was lucky to attend a number of larger industry-advancing events, as well as intimate dinners with some of the top thought leaders and investors in the space.
