Rakuten Japan: Gaimin.io与韩国电子竞技产业协会达成合作意向

Rakuten Japan: Gaimin.io与韩国电子竞技产业协会达成合作意向
[2019年11月20日，韩国/首尔] Gaimin.io与韩国电子竞技产业协会就合作促进电子竞技游戏市场达成合作协议。

本月17日，Gaimin首席产品官Calvin Adamus专程从瑞典飞往韩国，与韩国电子竞技产业协会主席Park Bong-kyu首次在韩国首尔会面，探讨Gaimin.io的平台在韩国游戏市场的发展，并于20日在2019 WBS Ma rvels大会上终于达成合作协定。

2019年，韩国游戏市场达到$ 12.3B USD，预计到2020年将增长至$ 12.6B USD。韩国是第一个成功实现在线游戏商业化的国家。它将游戏平台的主流从单机游戏机和PC变为在线。在这一转折点之前，游戏机游戏市场由日本和美国领导，而个人电脑游戏行业则以美国和台湾为主。根据韩国创意内容总署提供的统计数据显示，自2008年以来，游戏行业的平均销售额增长了14.9％。在全球范围内，电子竞技市场预计在2020年将达到$ 1.5B USD。

自2019年起，Gaimin.io开始正式聚焦亚洲市场，并与韩国的Borabit和中国的Nazadax成功进行了两次IEO，取得了热烈的反响。韩中两国都是游戏和电子竞技行业的领导者，也是Gaimin最注重的市场。在IEO期间，总共售出了6,000,000个代币，根据反馈，抢购者中许多是游戏玩家。

“这是我第一次来韩国，也是我第一次见到如此多的区块链爱好者和专家。我很高兴成为韩国区块链社区的一员，他们给了我关于游戏和区块链如何融合的新观点。Park Bong-kyu主席与我分享了许多关于韩国市场的最新动态，这是我受益匪浅。我们一拍即合，决定一起合作，将区块链和游戏，亚洲与欧洲连接到一起。 相信这对于Gaimin.io的社区也是一个重大利好消息。” Calvin分享对Blockcast.cc的记者分享到。

Park Bong-kyu主席同样对合作发表了评论:“我一直在积极韩国倡导区块链和电子竞技。我了解游戏玩家之间的知识共享很重要，如果Gaimin.io可以成为共享游戏知识和资源的平台，成为一站式游戏资产平台，一定会得到市场的认可。我希望与Gaimin一起探索未来更多的可能性，将亚洲和欧洲的电子竞技游戏玩家连接并聚集到一起。”

Park Bong-kyu主席还是世界最大区块链会议之一的世界区块链峰会(WBS) MARVELS的组织者。他一直在努力尝试连接各个国家的区块链和游戏从业者，促进整体行业发展。

WBS MARVELS具有超前瞻性，不断吸引着像Calvin这样的国际从业者参加并与亚洲行业领袖进行分享和交流。在会上的“ 2030年区块链革命”讨论环节，由政府间区块链顾问Anndy Lian主持，小组成员还包括ECRO Chain Holdings的CEO Vazgen Yeghiazar, 香港区块链协会的Jay Laing, 前亚马逊成员Jonathan Kommer），Hdac的Nicholas Jacquet和Fight to Fame的Saul Tarazona。国际嘉宾阵容分享了他们对区块链及其用途的未来的看法。在本小组会议中，游戏做为区块链的主要落地场景之一也被反复提到。

Fox News: Catching Up with Anndy Lian, Inter-Governmental Blockchain Advisor at the Singapore Fintech and Blockchain Week 2019

Fox News: Catching Up with Anndy Lian, Inter-Governmental Blockchain Advisor at the Singapore Fintech and Blockchain Week 2019

The 2019 Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF) kicked off on Monday at the Singapore EXPO, marking the first day of the world’s biggest annual fintech gathering. The Blockchain Week follows back to back with SFF. We have met many good projects such as TransferWise, Razer Pay, FlovTec, Zigway and more. We have also managed to catch up with some of the leading blockchain practitioners at Singapore this week. We will collate some interviews and have them featured on our interview section.

Today, we have Mr Anndy Lian with us. He is a blockchain advisor to an inter-governmental organisation, a book author and a strong voice in the blockchain community.

Blockcast.cc: Hi Anndy, good to see you again. It has been a while since we meet. I rememeber the last time we met was in South Korea and ever since I am being sent to the USA office, I have not seen you. How are things?

Anndy Lian: Thanks for asking. Things are great. We have been working on multiple things for the government and also in the midst of going through a RMO application in Singapore for SingDax. Things for me are very hectic and I have been travelling for quite a bit and have not gotten the chance to catch up with your team.

Anndy Lian: Sure that will be good. I will try my best to be tactful and also give you some candid replies.

Blockcast.cc: What is your opinion on the development of the blockchain industry during the last year?

Anndy Lian: I would say that the development of blockchain is slower than what I have expected. As you know, I travel quite a bit and have been actively giving advise to governments agencies on blockchain matters. The people on the grounds are thinking very similar as I do. 2019 to me is supposed to be a less speculative time for cryptocurrencies. More adoption of blockchain should be seen but the numbers does not add up. Many projects came up with good ideas, but fall short of implementing properly. Some of them failed to get funds too. Others will get into new troubles with the changes in the regulations. Well in 2020, I hope to see more traditional companies coming in and also helping some of these good ideas go into execution.

Blockcast.cc: What is your vision on the development of the STO market in the upcoming years?

Anndy Lian: There is a lot to say for this topic. Speaking from my own perspectives. The STO market is very promising and will do well starting in 2020. In Singapore and also in ASEAN, I see regulators stepping up to issue related licences to facilitate the STO market. This is a good sign for the market.

If you look at the overall STO market, the leading country is still United States and if you look at the European side, Switzerland is the champion. The next prominent bloc will be South East Asia and to me Singapore is obviously the lead country pushing this across, getting traction from the neighboring countries. The actual number of STO skyrocketed almost 10 times if you compare the statistics for 2017 and 2019. Again, if you look at it deeper, the smaller STO projects appear to be more successful, the sweet spot is between $1m to around $5m.

With new global investors coming into the STO blockchain scene and this will create a new demand in time to come. As some of you know, my team is working on a new security digital asset exchange call SingDax. We have good support from the regulator and traditional companies too. Like I have mentioned above, the support from traditional companies are very vital in this process of merging the new economy with the old. The value creation is far more than what some can imagine.

I also do see a minus point on how STOs are structured and how blockchain technology can come into play in this security market. Many of the operators, funders and brains behind some of these projects are just too “old school”. There is nothing wrong with being safe, if I may say but being safe is not necessary good when we are innovating. Being safe would also mean that we may not have a real competitive advantage over the existing business models.

Blockast.cc: What do you think about the possibility for accredited investors to participate in opportunities such as SpaceX or other private companies and startups worldwide?

Anndy Lian: Personally I am a fan of Elon Musk and SpaceX of course, projects like this are wonderful and if they are opened for global accredited investors to participate using the blockchain, it will be good news for all of us and also for SpaceX. But then again, you cannot compare SpaceX with all other startups. The risks involved in investing to startups are very high in some aspects. If you look from STO point of view, equity based tokens have very high up side for investors, my take is that projects or companies who are issuing such tokens should be listed on a regulated token exchange for STOs. This can help to defray some risks and also give new investors more confidence.

Blockcast.cc: I also noted that you have not been sharing much recently. Are you slowing down your pace?

Anndy Lian: (Laughs) To be honest, I have been very busy. On my governmental work, I have just completed a training module of over 100 slides for Asian Productivity Organization on Smart Manufacturing and Blockchain where all the members from 22 countries can access to it online.

I am also busy with SingDax. The process is very interesting and promising frankly. If I have more resources, things can move a lot faster. I met regulators regionally, virtual banks, global real estate funds, developers and more. I can’t disclose anything more as I have a board to answer to.

Blockcast.cc: Do you still have time to speak at events? Again, I don’t see any new updates on events that you have spoken on.

Anndy Lian: I can’t stop what I am doing. I want to share as much information to people who want to understand blockchain. There were a couple of events that I have spoken at but did not have the time share.

I was the keynote speaker at Blockchain Summit 2019 in Singapore on 20 September 2019 organized by a India based knowledge partner where I spoke about “The Future Roadmap for Blockchain”.

Also on 17 October 2019 at RHT ASEAN Summit 2019 where I was part of a panel titled “Regional Supply Chain” where we discuss the trends, issues and opportunities for supply chain. During the summit, we also had the honour for SMS Edwin Tong to present us the appointment letter as the Advisory Panel Member for the China-ASEAN Business Alliance.

I am still very active in the market. I think. (Laughs again)

Blockcast.cc: Thanks for your insights again. I do understand where you are coming from especially on the securities side of things. As our usual practice, can we get a quote from you.

Anndy Lian: Ok. I would like to share something different with you today.

“GROW TOGETHER WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY, NOT THE HYPE. DISRUPTION IS JUST BEGINNING.”

Blockcast.cc: Thanks Anndy.

Anndy Lian: Thanks Melody for the interview during this Singapore Fintech and Blockchain Week 2019.
