TechFlow news — On October 25, Edward, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures, delivered a keynote speech titled "New Opportunities and the Future of Digital Assets" at Blockchain Life 2023 in Dubai. Edward noted that growing interest in BTC spot ETFs and RWA during 2023 has attracted more traditional financial institutions into the cryptocurrency space, bringing additional capital and liquidity to the market—potentially laying the foundation for the next "bull market." Meanwhile, with the rise of SocialFi platforms such as Friend.tech and Bigtime, the integration of social, gaming, and DeFi has become a trend, paving the way for more xFi or Web3 project designs in the future. Furthermore, the L2 race is far from over; with the upcoming Cancun upgrade, competition within the L2 market will intensify.
Edward also emphasized that trading innovation remains the central theme of the crypto market, and any upgrades or innovations in trading infrastructure or paradigms could trigger the next market transformation.
