Dialogue with Christian, a Post-00s Fintech Entrepreneur: Craving Iteration Speed and Mutual Candor, Financial Mindset Matters More Than Choices, 'Young People Should Have Awe'

Amid a challenging 2025, Christian, the 00-year-old founder of fintech startup Infini, reflects on a year marked by a major security breach and a strategic pivot. The company shifted from consumer-focused crypto services to B2B financial infrastructure, emphasizing payment solutions and stablecoin integration. Christian stresses that the core value in fintech isn't just efficiency but trust, earned through rapid iteration, transparent service, and 24/7 responsiveness. He believes financial products should empower users with financial literacy and risk awareness, rather than just offering investment options. Infini’s new direction focuses on building a "financial OS" to help global entrepreneurs—especially solo developers and small teams—receive payments and manage capital easily, reducing dependency on traditional banking. Christian also shares management insights: prioritize speed, curiosity, and radical honesty within teams. He admires Revolut’s execution speed and high standards, and draws inspiration from historical leaders like Emperor Taizong of Tang for their strategic decisiveness and ability to integrate talented but strong-willed individuals. Despite a tough year, he views these challenges as crucial lessons in resilience, team alignment, and maintaining long-term vision.

VC "Dead"? No, the Industry is Undergoing a Brutal Shakeout

The article addresses the prevailing sentiment that "VC is dead" in the crypto industry, arguing that while some venture capital firms have indeed failed, the sector as a whole is not dying but undergoing a severe shakeout. The author, a former VC investor, states that many Asian VCs have been hit hardest, with top firms shutting down or scaling back significantly. Even second- and third-tier Western VCs are now facing similar challenges, marked by reduced investment pace and difficulty in exiting portfolios. This downturn is seen as a delayed effect of the 2022 market collapse, exacerbated by broken four-year cycle expectations, overvalued deals, and extended token lockups that strain returns. However, the piece contends that VCs won’t disappear entirely. They remain essential for funding early-stage projects and supporting innovation. Well-vetted VC backing has been behind nearly all major successful crypto projects, and quality ventures continue to attract interest. The industry is moving toward a maturity phase with higher barriers to entry—akin to Web2. VCs will need stronger reputations and expertise to compete. Projects are increasingly judged by real user adoption and revenue, not just narratives or token launches. Hyperliquid and Polymarket are cited as examples of projects that built sustainable traction before launching tokens. Despite current challenges, the author remains optimistic: top talent continues to enter the space, and foundational areas like stablecoins, prediction markets, and AI-driven economies hold promise. While the barrier to success is higher than in previous cycles, Web3 remains a land of opportunity—especially when compared to the hyper-competitive Web2 environment.

Connecting China, US, and Asia-Pacific Capital: Asia Pacific Innovation Center (APIC) Officially Launches in Kuala Lumpur, Building a New Global Business Empowerment Ecosystem

Asia Pacific Innovation Center (APIC) has officially launched in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as a strategic hub connecting China, the U.S., Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. APIC aims to reshape the regional business landscape by integrating Web3 innovation incubation, global education, and cross-border capital investment. Chaired by Eugene Xiao, the center is built on three core drivers: business enablement (offering end-to-end support for startups and digital transformation), education (partnering with institutions like MIT, UCLA Anderson, and UKM to deliver cutting-edge tech programs), and alliance ecosystems (supported by organizations including DID Alliance and 42X Fund). During the launch, APIC signed six Memoranda of Understanding with key entities such as the Singapore Digital Chamber of Commerce and Malaysia Fujian Chamber of Commerce to advance digital trade, enterprise innovation, youth development, and social responsibility. Positioned as an open and collaborative platform, APIC seeks to foster global connectivity in business, talent, and technology, driving sustainable growth across the Asia-Pacific region.

After a Valuation of $1 Billion and Five Years of Exploration, Why Did It 'Admit Defeat'?

After five years of development and raising $180 million at a near $1 billion valuation, Farcaster has officially conceded that its Web3 social strategy did not succeed. The platform, initially designed as a decentralized alternative to Twitter, aimed to address issues like platform monopoly, user data ownership, and creator monetization through an on-chain, protocol-based approach. Despite a brief surge in early 2024—when monthly active users (MAU) peaked at around 80,000—growth quickly stalled. MAU has since declined to under 20,000 by late 2025. Farcaster’s user base remained heavily concentrated within the crypto-native community, failing to attract mainstream users due to high barriers to entry, niche content, and inferior user experience compared to established platforms like X or Instagram. Co-founder Dan Romero announced a strategic pivot from social-first to a wallet-focused product, acknowledging that social alone wasn’t driving sustainable growth. Internal data showed that wallet features—used for transactions, trading, and interacting with dApps—consistently outperformed social modules in user retention and frequency. The shift reflects a broader realization: It’s easier to add social features to a wallet than to build a social product around crypto. While the move has sparked some community discontent, Farcaster is betting that deeper integration with on-chain utilities represents a more viable path to product-market fit.
