Some interesting quotes from the interview:

“Founders want to get into Asia. They see how active these markets are versus what’s in the US, which isn’t going poorly… @coinbase is a billion-dollar company. There are just very few Coinbases.”

“If I ask you to identify the global hub for #crypto, you may say Silicon Valley, but the concentration of companies is nowhere near the Bay Area. The most valuable crypto companies are in Asia.”
