We started off Consensus week strong 🔥

Lingling Jiang, Partner of DWF Labs, shared during a panel at Animoca Brands Portfolio Day. Key takeaways below 👇

1️⃣ Lingling shared that product and token strategy are both important but serve different roles. Long-term success comes from a strong product, while a token helps drive early adoption.

2️⃣ On short-term versus long-term plays, she shared that memecoins generate excitement but infrastructure projects, especially those bridging L1s and L2s, create lasting value and growth.

3️⃣ Lingling advised that founders should have a clear roadmap & business model, realistic valuations, and focus on execution over hype.

4️⃣ Lingling also shared that at DWF Labs, we're bullish on the stablecoin and AI Agent verticals, with the launch of our $20M AI Agent Fund and the upcoming launch of Falcon, the next-generation synthetic dollar.

Thank you to Jonah Lau for moderating a great panel with fellow panellists Filip Wielanier and Jason Lau 🤝

During #ConsensusHK, Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of DWF Labs, shared during his keynote 'Dimensions of the Crypto Market'. He covered current key verticals in crypto and where the industry will pivot in the future. More below👇

1️⃣ Institutions
As Bitcoin continues to solidify its role as digital gold, the crypto industry is pivoting towards Bitcoin ETFs. Governments are building Bitcoin treasuries, driving institutional interest 🏛️

2️⃣ Utility
The utility vertical has previously been led by L1 and L2 solutions, though Andrei believes the trend is phasing out. Visionaries are leading in this vertical as utility coins are high risk but present many opportunities.

3️⃣ Memes
Memecoins remain a focus in our portfolio, but we focus on projects that have shown sustainable success through strong and engaged communities.

4️⃣ Dimensions of the Future
Real-World Assets, DeFi, AI, and yield-bearing assets will also be key aspects of the crypto industry moving forward. As part of our commitment to building innovative technologies and being a leader in the crypto space, powered by DWF Labs, Falcon, the next-generation synthetic dollar, was launched🔥

Looking forward to a fruitful rest of the week 🤝

Investment strategies have been an important topic of discussion during #ConsensusHK week 💬

Lingling Jiang, Partner of DWF Labs, spoke during the panel 'The Evolution of Investment: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities' at Alpha: Hong Kong Edition hosted by Luna PR.

Keep reading for her key insights on investment strategies 👇

1️⃣ Lingling shared that AI technologies and agents will make investing more efficient by using data-driven insights to identify trends, analyse on-chain data, and monitor market sentiment.

2️⃣ This shift will improve efficiency by making investment decisions less influenced by human emotion — ensuring investments are less risky and more sustainable.

3️⃣ Memecoins will continue to be a significant part of the crypto industry. Lingling advised that investors looking to invest in memecoins should prioritise performing due diligence, focus on projects with strong communities driving value, and have a clear exit strategy.

4️⃣ She highlighted that when DWF Labs evaluates projects to invest in, we prioritise strong founding teams and clear revenue models. A particularly crucial aspect is mass adoption potential, which is a sign of sustainability.

As we wrap up the week we’re celebrating the crypto community and the fruitful conversations from this week. Thank you to fellow panellists Yat Siu, Sylvia T, and Carlo Palomino for today’s conversation 🤝
