SINGAPORE, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HTX Ventures and HTX DAO showed strong engagement during the Korea Blockchain Week 2024 (1-7 September) .Through exclusive side events and engaging panel discussions, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO demonstrated their thought leadership in blockchain investments and AI innovation, connecting with influential partners and driving forward the industry’s most critical conversations.
As a leader in the Web3 space, HTX Ventures seized the opportunity to showcase its pioneering investment strategies, showing strong interests in prominent sectors like BTCFi, SocialFi, and decentralized AI. At the VIP private dinner hosted by HTX DAO on 3 September, an elite audience of trading firms, institutional clients, and key partners facilitated networking and potential future collaborations. Similarly, HTX Ventures’ private dinner on 5 September garnered strong interest from new and existing partners, reaffirming their influence in shaping the venture capital landscape in Web3.
Other events include “Entertainment Reimagined” Web3 entertainment side event with Fellaz and TRON on 4 Sept, Ecosystem Global Meet-up on 5 Sept, AI Crypto Summit, a Web3 conference on AI and blockchain, on 5 Sept, and several after parties.
Insights on Promising Sectors
Representing HTX Ventures, Managing Partner Edward delivered his insights on the evolving landscape of Web3 investments during several panel discussions.
On 4 September, during the “Navigating Investment in Web3, Tech, Narrative, or Fomo?” panel hosted by DFG, Edward highlighted key investment trends, noting the success of the meme sector, BTCFi innovations, and promising areas such as SocialFi, AI, and DePIN.
“The meme sector has performed remarkably well in this cycle. Attracting funds through memes and subsequently launching utility-driven products is one of the strategic paths that ecosystem developers and project teams are pursuing this cycle.” Edward said, “BTCFi, based on the BTC ecosystem this year, is also one of HTX Ventures’ key areas of interest. As an innovation track in 2024, the BTC ecosystem is witnessing various innovations, and we anticipate even more developments in this field. SocialFi projects, AI, and DePIN are also sectors that we are closely monitoring.”
Speaking from a broader market perspective, Edward particularly mentioned BTC and ETH ETFs. “The entry of BTC and ETH into the ETF era is poised to significantly alter the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market, bringing in more investors and capital while also potentially introducing greater regulation and market manipulation.”
How HTX Ventures Helps Portfolio Companies
At the MKGA Summit, Edward expanded on HTX Ventures’ strategies for supporting its portfolio companies. HTX Ventures provides a full service for its portfolio companies, including: fundraising support, world-class mentorship, listing opportunities, strategic networking, and global market entry.
One example is BounceBit, a portfolio company that has benefited from HTX Ventures’ extensive resources. “We connected BounceBit with projects across our portfolio, extended their global outreach, and provided in-depth research reports and marketing support, including Twitter space collaborations and events,” Edward explained. “We believe in supporting innovative projects like BounceBit for the long run.”
There are certain things that HTX Ventures looks into when investing in a company, and one of the most important things is the product. Edward said, “HTX Ventures now focuses more on the product and the team itself. Through financial and resource support, HTX Ventures aims to help teams develop genuinely innovative products that serve a large number of crypto users, which is our long-term investment goal.”
Embracing AI in a Decentralized Manner
HTX Ventures is also at the forefront of integrating AI with blockchain technology. On 5 September, Zhao Lei represented HTX Ventures at the AI Crypto Summit’s panel discussion on “The Rise of Autonomous Agents in DeFi & CeFi”. She underscored the transformative potential of decentralized AI, which leverages blockchain for transparent decision-making and enhanced security.
“Our investment arm and exchange have supported several high-potential projects involving decentralized AI from early on. One example is Fetch.ai. Their platform runs AI agents that can conduct transactions and other economic activities,” she said.
Conclusion
The active participation in the plentiful activities showcased HTX Ventures’ and HTX DAO’s commitment to keep building the industry, as well as the great emphasis they put on the Korea and Asia markets.
As the global investment arm of HTX, HTX Ventures is actively seeking high-potential investment opportunities around the globe including key areas like Korea, offering investment and ecosystem support to help innovative startups in the region grow.

MultiversX and Helios Staking Join Hands For Web3 Collabathon; Unveil Helios Connect dApp for Unified Cross-Chain Identity Management
MultiversX (EGLD), the leading internet scale blockchain known for its sharding technology, announced its support to the Helios Collabathon conducted by Helios Staking, to redefine product building through an effort of collaboration over competition. Jointly supported by the MultiversX Foundation, Hatom, XOXNO, and the Injective Foundation, the first-of-its-kind Collabathon brought together 14 top-level Web3 builders from across the world with skills ranging from coding to marketing and business development, to solve pressing industry challenges related to singular user identity across multiple blockchains.
With a background in building 11 different companies and winning 15 hackathons, the Collabathon’s participants deployed a fully-functioning MVP of Helios Connect in 8 days, with a clean interface and Smart Contracts deployed on mainnet on both the Injective and MultiversX blockchains. Simultaneously, all content and related documentation were posted to ensure the product has visibility and is usable afterwards, resulting in Helios Connect acquiring active users already.
As a fully open-source product, Helios Connect is a groundbreaking cross-chain wallet verification and identity dApp, allowing users to create a singular, unified identity across multiple blockchains, addressing a significant challenge of User Fragmentation in the decentralized ecosystem. By simplifying and securing identity management, Helios Connect is poised to become a building block for a plethora of applications that strengthen connections between different ecosystems.
Alongside building the product, the Collabathon hosted networking events and four workshops, hosted by Robert Sasu (Core developer of MultiversX), Joan (Product Manager of Injective Labs), Alex Radu (CEO of Astrarizon), and Sergi & Jose (Founders of Moonlorian).
Robert Sasu, Core Developer of MultiversX, who supported the Collabathon on-site, shared his thoughts: “I am truly impressed by how much the team accomplished in just 10 days, proving how this Collabathon can bring viable products with real use cases to market whilst sparking innovation between communities.”
Kevin Lydon, Co-founder and Managing Director of Helios Staking shared his excitement: “The Helios Collabathon has proven to be a huge success, not only in achieving our technological goals but also in creating a spirit of collaboration. We are looking forward to developing the concept further and pushing the boundaries of what is currently thought possible.”
Open Source For The Community
In a commitment to supporting innovation, Helios Connect’s open-source feature paves the way for integrated cross-chain use cases, such as cross-chain identity management. This approach is designed to provide a platform where cross-chain products and services can grow and thrive, enabling the wider Web3 ecosystem to benefit from this cutting-edge technology.
Helios Connect will serve as a foundational tool that many applications can be built on top of, such as cross-chain governance applications, tax tooling, ticketing, an anti-scam scanner and more.
The MultiversX Foundation continues to support teams and initiatives that are at the forefront of innovation to accelerate blockchain adoption and ecosystem growth by creating meaningful products that benefit the entire Web3 ecosystem.
