Lingling Jiang, Partner of DWF Labs, shared in a podcast with Block Fuel during #ETHDenver on crypto regulation, investment strategies, and market trends 🔥 Key insights below👇

1️⃣ Institutional adoption in Hong Kong: Crypto was originally met with scepticism in Hong Kong, but regulatory developments and growing institutional interest are driving collaborations between traditional finance and Web3. Banks are also exploring crypto services.

2️⃣ Balancing hype and substance: In Web3 investments, hype matters, but longevity and revenue potential are just as crucial. Strong teams who demonstrate experience, transparency, and adaptability are key to success.

3️⃣ AI & stablecoins leading in 2025: the market is pivoting from a focus on Layer 1 & 2 blockchains to AI-driven DeFi tools and stablecoins. AI-powered trading and automation could improve efficiency in crypto by eliminating emotion-driven trading.

4️⃣ U.S. market outlook: While there’s renewed optimism for crypto in the U.S., companies are still waiting for clearer regulations before making major moves.

5️⃣ Falcon: Lingling also shared about her Partner role at Falcon, a synthetic dollar that offers sustainable and competitive yields.
