Charles Hoskinson, speaking live at the CoinDesk studio during the Korea Blockchain Week, highlighted Asia's pivotal role in shaping the cultural foundation of cryptocurrency. He noted that countries like Korea and Vietnam have seen adoption rates of 25-30%, although most holders possess less than $500 in crypto assets. Hoskinson suggested that as regulations tighten, these smaller holdings could grow significantly, leading to a substantial transfer of wealth. Hoskinson also emphasized the United States' influence in setting global standards for the crypto industry. He projected that the combination of Asian adoption and U.S. regulatory leadership could propel the cryptocurrency market to exceed $10 trillion within the next five years.
