At the #SeliniSummit2024, our Cofounder & CEO Allen Ng had an excellent discussion on crypto gaming with Ilya Paveliev⚡ Founding Partner of Arete Capital, Simon Doherty Head of Capital Markets of Animoca Brands, and Marc Weinstein Partner of Mechanism Capital, and Niels de Ruiter.    "At its core, gaming has always been about the social aspect as much as the gameplay. We play to spend time with friends, to collaborate and compete together. Crypto games have yet to understand that community is key. Community is where the real value lies. By incentivizing the social bonds and networks within games, blockchain has potential to bring people closer while also benefiting players and platforms. It's about capitalizing on what really drives gaming at its source - our social relationships with others," said Allen. The insights shared by Allen highlight our commitment to being at the forefront of consumer adoption in the rapidly evolving space. It's an exciting time for the industry, and we're thrilled to be part of driving its future. A special thanks to Selini for the invitation to a meaningful discussion. Let's continue to drive forward the next wave of gaming experiences together!

Big News from Aspen Digital! They've just been granted an in-principle approval to operate out of Abu Dhabi Global Market - one of the world's fastest growing financial centers for digital assets.
