曾幾何時,香港是密碼貨幣的發展中心之一,FTX 選址中環中心作為總部,又孕育 Animoca Brands、Amber Group 等獨角獸級公司,有過非常活躍的「幣圈」社群。但自從 LUNA 崩盤以來,一個又一個壞消息骨牌式湧現,包括最近 Celsius 宣告破產,亦被稱為密碼貨幣世界嘅「雷曼兄弟時刻」;係咁嘅時候,交投量以全球計,當然係下跌,6 月份現貨和衍生工具較 5 月跌咗 15% 至約 4.2 萬億美元,不少人都「心中有數」,相應的監管勢在必行。今日嘅來賓,好早已經投身貨圈,見證咗香港由零到高峰,再來到今日嘅調整期,究竟跟住落嚟嘅發展會點?我地即刻同佢傾吓,Newman Capital 創辦人 Adrian Lai。
