FTX hits Asian markets hard as Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan investors devastated – SlateAsia #1

Introducing SlateAsia, a new podcast from CryptoSlate focusing on the Asian markets within the crypto industry.

CryptoSlate’s Akiba is joined by Jason Fang of Sora Ventures for the bi-weekly show bringing all the latest news, events, and market sentiment from across Asia.

Jason Fang is the managing partner at Sora Ventures, an Asian VC fund that has seen remarkable returns from the crypto markets over the past several years. Akiba (Liam Wright) is a senior journalist and editor at CryptoSlate; host of the SlateCast and advisor to projects across the web3 space.

On this week’s SlateAsia, Akiba and Jason covered the fallout of FTX for Asian investors, the move toward CBDCs, increased regulatory pressure, and the upcoming crypto events in Taiwan.

Jason highlighted the huge impact of FTX’s collapse on individual investors in Singapore, South Korea, and Japan as the failed exchange hit several countries in Asia much harder than the rest of the world.

As the managing partner of Sora Ventures, Jason is able to give unique insights into the Asian markets which have historically performed well within the crypto industry. Jason also gave his predictions with regard to CBDCs and the speed at which Asian markets will recover from the current slump.
