Coinlive, an independent cryptocurrency news outlet based in Singapore, will be holding its first event of the year on 27 February. Held at NTUC Business Centre from 3pm to 8pm., Web3 Trends and Forecast 2023 ─ VC Edition, will delve into the invited speakers’ thoughts on current trends and their forecast for the year.
With the current bullish sentiment of the industry, its outlook is evidently positive. In 2022, the Web3 landscape saw a total funding of $7.1 billion*, a stark contrast to 2021’s paltry $2.3 billion. As the Web3 space continues to mature, there is a paradigm shift in the venture capitalists’ (VCs) approach despite the roller coaster ride. It is likely to continue drawing attention as it develops in the coming years.
Through the moderated English and Mandarin roundtable discussions and networking opportunities, participants can gain relevant industry-related insights and connect with distinguished VCs, investors, and entrepreneurs. Interested participants can register here.
Food and beverage will be catered at the event.
