Crypto assets are a bridge between the two worlds. Synergy created by the crypto asset exchange OKJ - Interview with Daisuke Yakaku

What do you think about the current Web 3.0 field?

Daisuke Hakkaku (hereinafter, Hakkaku): There are many different definitions of Web 3.0, and they are broad. I would like to talk about the crypto assets that OKJ handles.

First, crypto assets are an item that bridges Web 3.0 with the world outside of Web 3.0. You need crypto assets to enter and exit Web 3.0. This is due to the nature of crypto assets, which are a means to "move" and "exchange" value on the blockchain.

Second, they also have an element as a financial product. At present, they may be seen as more of an "investment" than an "exchange." From the perception of something mysterious that was associated with "virtual" a generation ago, we now see a trend in which the value of crypto assets is formed from practical practicality and operational examples, such as trends in network applications and DePIN cases.

Furthermore, if cryptocurrency ETFs are circulated in Japan in the future, we can expect institutional and professional investors to enter the market in earnest, and we can expect revitalization in the "financial" aspect, such as changes in the quality and quantity of physical liquidity. Fortunately, Japan has an environment for holding cryptocurrency, and there is a wealth of assets that can be used on Web 3.0, and active discussions are being held by the government and industry groups. OKJ will also promote the spread of Web 3.0.
