GM HODL folks! 🌅🙋🙋♀️ On September 2, 2024, we gathered at the Crypto Legal Symposium during Korea Blockchain Week for a high-energy discussion on the future of digital assets. Hosted by Hashed Open Dialogue for Law [HODL] and co-hosted by HASHED OPEN RESEARCH (HOR), the event brought together leading voices from the legal, regulatory, and blockchain spaces to address the key issues driving crypto regulation today. 🌐 From the future of Bitcoin ETFs to the growing role of Congress in shaping crypto policy, our speakers delivered game-changing insights that are influencing the evolving digital assets landscape.🌄 Kicking things off was a powerful keynote from Dr. Yongbeom Kim, CEO of HOR 🇰🇷, followed by an engaging fireside chat between SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda and Hashed’s Global Head of Legal, Jin Kang 🤝. The day hit its peak with an impactful panel featuring Sandra Ro 🇺🇦, Dr. Thomas Nägele {T}, Yam Ki Chan, Hermine Wong, Jongsub Lee (이종섭), and Angela Ang, which was moderated by Hashed’s General Counsel, Medha Srivastava - the bunch delved deep into the complexities of global regulation, stablecoins, DeFi and much more. 💡 If you couldn’t join us, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered!

Bloomberg News has covered a partnership between Hashed and Hub71 in an effort of expanding Hashed’s footprint to Abu Dhabi, one of the hottest global crypto hubs, thanks to its advantageous regulatory environment. This collaboration aims to introduce more Korean startups to the United Arab Emirates, focusing on technology and digital assets. Additionally, we are looking forward to opening an office in Abu Dhabi and exploring opportunities. Through it's crypto-friendly environment, the UAE has been actively attracting crypto companies, with significant operations from Binance, OKX, and Nomura’s Laser Digital. Hub71's commitment of over $2 billion in capital for Web3 startups and blockchain technologies is a testament to this effort. Key Highlights: - Partnership with Hub71 Facilitating the introduction of Korean tech and digital asset startups to the UAE. - Expansion Plans: Opening a new office in Abu Dhabi to expand Hashed’s ecosystem. Our CEO, 김서준 Simon Seo Joon Kim, emphasizes the necessity for Korean startups to expand globally, given the decreasing domestic market population and the immense talent within Korean entrepreneurship. “We are excited about the prospect of welcoming more Korean startups to Abu Dhabi and attracting the most promising Web3 and digital asset technologies to the UAE capital,” says Ahmad Alwan, CEO of Hub71. We are excited about this new chapter and the opportunities it will bring. Stay tuned for more updates!

Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Abu Dhabi's free zone authority, hosted a meetup to showcase Hashed’s investment and ecosystem-building activities and discuss opportunities for collaboration in the web3 industry with the UAE government and startups. Abu Dhabi, through ADGM, offers the most web3 startup-friendly regulatory environments in the world, and it was unusual for ADGM to invite private companies to host a meetup. The event was attended by many government officials and regulators, and there were many great questions as well. - How has Hashed managed to grow through the bear market? - What are Hashed's competitive advantages as a web3 VC? - How is the business environment in Abu Dhabi different and attractive compared to Korea? - What was it about Hub71 that attracted you to partner with them? - What can Hashed do to help Abu Dhabi become a digital hub for Web3? Finding good answers to these questions will be the key to building a successful partnership in the Abu Dhabi & UAE market.
