Traditional Finance Professionals Fail to Maintain Composure During Coinfest Asia Shenanigans
In the heart of Bali, Nuanu City played host to Coinfest Asia 2024, a gathering of over 6,000 global crypto and Web3 enthusiasts - a 50% increase from the previous year. The event, brimming with over 100 panel discussions and side events, aimed to address critical industry challenges and foster meaningful connections.
One of the highlights of the festival was the presence of industry titans. Balal Khan, the founder of ZKEX, expressed his joy to be back at Coinfest with the Blockhead team. Ross Edwards, senior director at Ripple, revealed it was his first time at Coinfest and Bali, adding a fresh perspective to the event.
Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, was another notable figure. He shared insights on how TradFi can complement Web3 and Animoca Brands' adjustments to new market demands. Siu also discussed the impact of TradFi money on the crypto industry, particularly on metaverse and blockchain gaming.
The panels at Coinfest Asia 2024 were engaging and informative. Cohan Chew, co-founder of Blockhead, moderated a panel on "Navigating the Ever-Changing Crypto Market." The panel included Alex Rumondor, head of business development at CoinEx Global, Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen, Michael Lau, SVP, group head of business development and chairman of Consensus Hong Kong at Bullish, Vugar Usi Zade, COO of Bitget, and Valentin Fournier, lead research analyst at BRN.
Another captivating panel was moderated by Valentin Fournier on "The LSD Effect of Liquid (Re)Staking." The panel included Daniel Anthony Wong, head of growth at Pendle and Andy Cho, director of Asia at Frax Finance.
The event also facilitated the creation of over 25,000 meaningful connections. In a special Coinfest episode of Blockcast, interviews were conducted with various Coinfest-goers, including representatives from Bitget, TRIVE, ZKEX, and Ripple.
Looking ahead, Coinfest Asia 2025 aims to double the participation from the previous year and elevate the event to new heights with enhanced interactive experiences, more global industry leaders, and expanded networking opportunities. Felita Setiawan, who was not present at Coinfest Asia 2024, stated these intentions.
As for the regulatory oversight of the crypto and Web3 industry at Coinfest Asia 2025, there is currently no information available.
Notable sponsors at Coinfest Asia 2024 included Bitget, who promoted a human-sized cardboard cutout of Lionel Messi at their booth.
In summary, Coinfest Asia 2024 was a resounding success, bringing together industry leaders, fostering meaningful connections, and driving innovative discussions in the ever-evolving world of crypto and Web3. The anticipation for Coinfest Asia 2025 is already building, with promises of even greater participation and experiences.
