Polkadot Decoded Asia: Investors Discuss Market Liquidity

At Polkadot Decoded Asia in Singapore, Wilfred Daye of Sylvanus Technologies moderated a roundtable discussion where several investors shared their views on current market liquidity.

Ciara Sun from C² Ventures commented that while hype driving Web2 funds into Web3 is helpful for market liquidity, she hopes to see truly valuable products backed by technology emerge in the Web3 space.

Ivan Li of Comma3 Ventures believes DeFi holds value because centralized finance comes with significant costs, while decentralization allows for cost savings that can be directly returned to users.

Edward from HTX Ventures stated that for Web3 to truly flourish, it needs several key elements: widely used technologies and products, mature business models, and the ability to create hype.

JT Law from IVC advised entrepreneurs to focus on building products and showcasing their capabilities and achievements. He emphasized that the days of securing funding solely based on an idea are over.
