At Polkadot Decoded Asia in Singapore, Wilfred Daye of Sylvanus Technologies moderated a roundtable discussion, guiding several investors to share their views on current market liquidity.
Ciara Sun of C² Ventures said that although it is very helpful for market liquidity to allow Web2 funds to enter Web3 through hype, I still hope that products with real technical value support will appear in the Web3 world.
Ivan Li of Comma3 Ventures said, "In my opinion, DeFi is very valuable because centralized finance has too many costs, and the costs saved in decentralization can be fully fed back to users."
Edward from HTX Ventures believes that for Web3 to truly rise, several conditions must be met, including technology and products that are used on a large scale, a relatively mature business model, and the ability to create a craze.
In his advice to entrepreneurs, IVC's JT Law said that you need to have a product and demonstrate what you can do and what you have done. The days when you can get financing with just an idea are gone.
