CryptoQuant CEO Highlights Shift to Value Investing Amid Market Dip

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, highlighted a shift in the cryptocurrency market towards value investing, driven by Traditional Finance (TradFi) integrating blockchain technology and tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs). Despite price declines, fundamentals are reportedly at their strongest in seven years.

Integration of TradFi and DeFi

Crypto investors are increasingly focusing on value rather than speculation.
Significant developments include former BlackRock IBIT team members launching HelloTrade, a decentralized exchange for tokenized stocks and bonds.
Companies like Robinhood and Michael Saylor's firm are exploring tokenized shares and Bitcoin acquisitions respectively.
These trends indicate that TradFi is preparing infrastructure for a new financial ecosystem.

Global Tokenization Movement

A global push for tokenization is underway, with significant initiatives emerging.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced a five-year plan focusing on data infrastructure, AI, resilience, and finance tokenization.
SEGG Media launched a $300 million digital asset strategy combining crypto treasury and tokenized sports assets.
