A number of newsworthy developments continue to stem from Asia amid ongoing regulatory challenges for the cryptocurrency industry in the U.S.
Two days earlier, the New York-based investment firm CoinFund also shared news of broadening its Asian services. The firm has chosen Hong Kong as the debut location for CoinFund’s expansion into Asia, with the city’s appeal to crypto talents cited as a major contributing factor.
Alongside the announcement of Asia’s first tokenized fund, it appears that the United States might have a run for its money regarding digital asset development.
