Blockchain development platforms and infrastructure have become the most popular investment areas.

Institutions like NGC Ventures, Basics Capital, and Ascensive Assets are more focused on application-oriented projects, especially in the GameFi sector, with over 10 investment portfolios each. As the two fastest-growing areas in cryptocurrency, DeFi and NFT have also gained favor from these venture capital firms.

Looking to the future, Singapore has become the blockchain hub of Southeast Asia. The country has launched a $12 million blockchain innovation program and was ranked as the world's leading cryptocurrency-ready nation in the fourth quarter of 2021.

India may also become a hotspot for future investments. Currently, there are about 230 startups in India serving the crypto space. Despite facing challenges such as complex tax policies, this has not hindered the enthusiasm for investing in Web3 companies, and venture capital is expected to remain active in 2022.

Asian venture capital will continue to support the development of companies in the region. The Web3 ecosystem in this area is suitable for consumer-facing entrepreneurial projects. In addition to consumer demand, the open attitude toward cryptocurrency in countries like Singapore has also attracted entrepreneurs, especially against the backdrop of tightening regulations in the United States.

Regulatory agencies in various countries are formulating frameworks for the future management of digital assets. Overall, despite facing challenges, Asian venture capital's investment enthusiasm in the global Blockchain and crypto industry remains high, and future development is promising.
