- a cash balance of approximately US$214 million
- digital assets worth US$940 million
- US$3 billion of off-balance sheet digital reserves
- Portfolio of some 380 companies representing the best web3and blockchain companies.
He further adds that people must keep building the web3 space and celebrate the small victories that have enabled the teachers, creators and gamers to have a better life through digital ownership of NFTs.
He further adds that the actions of some bad actors in the space do not represent the entire industry and web3 growth continues both in brands and companies by pointing out that the financial crisis of 2008 did not halt the explosive growth of the internet. The frigid crypto winter of 2018 did not extinguish the crypto web3 flame, which will continue the development of the entire industry.
