The crypto and blockchain industries have made significant headway in becoming functional sectors around the world. However, in some parts of the world, such as Southeast Asia, there is a greater tendency to welcome these financial and technological advancements.
Southeast Asia as a region was highly represented in Chainalysis’ 2023 global crypto adoption index, with countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand on the brink of a crypto revolution.
With five countries in South and Southeast Asia being among the global top 10 for crypto adoption, Cointelegraph spoke with Nathan Kim, the marketing director at UNOPND, who is spearheading Southeast Asia Blockchain Week, to understand more about the region’s rise in prominence and friendliness toward the industry.
