According to a report by Chainanalysis, Asia accounted for 28% of the overall $1.16 trillion global cryptocurrency transaction volume in the first half of 2021. Data from Messari also shows that Asian markets accounted for 43% of global cryptocurrency activities. There were $296 billion in transactions between June 2020 and June 2021.
So, when Asia
was chosen to organize the first and biggest crypto festival recently, no one
was surprised. Indonesia was particularly selected because it is home to 270
million people and has the seventh-largest crypto user base in the world. In
2021, the crypto owners in Indonesia rose by 85% to reach 7.4 million people.
As Indonesia has the world's fourth-largest population, there is still much
room for growth in the crypto industry.
And yes,
Indonesia is also hosting this year's G20 and will probably become the center
of digital economic transformation in Asia
Coinfest Asia is
the name of that festival. It is an industry event organized by Coinvestasi. It
will focus on the future of cryptocurrencies and Web3 in Asia.
The event aims
to be a platform where crypto asset enthusiasts, industry leaders, and
executives can come together and discuss building the future of crypto assets
and blockchain technology in Asia. Coinfest Asia will be in a festival format and
will be organized in Bali, Indonesia, on Aug. 25–26, 2022. It is supported by
Coindesk, the Indonesian Blockchain Association, Coingecko, Blockchain
Association Singapore, and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The two-day
event will feature expert speakers who will discuss interesting topics like
regulation, the crypto industry, NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, the Metaverse, and others.
