Anndy Lian Spoke to BitcoinLive on NFT, Defi, Wall Street Bets, XRP and more

Anndy Lian, an intergovernmental blockchain advisor and entrepreneur based in Singapore spoke to BitcoinLive on 31 January 2021 on his views on NFT, Defi, Wall Street Bets, XRP and more.

Anndy started the session by sharing what he is doing right now. He has mentioned that he is taking a break and spending time to change some of his business from traditional to crypto like. He is looking at introducing NFT art to www.smexy.com, convert www.worldairfare.com from a referral business model to a crypto rebate scheme.

NFT is a hot topic and the host from BitcoinLive asked Anndy how he felt NFT is going for 2021. Anndy’s reply is bullish on the NFT market, he felt that there should be some price adjustments and protection for the consumer. The increase in price for Ethereum should not be the driving factor for NFT art for example to pump up the price. The price has to be pegged to the value of the artwork.

When asked on the latest development on the regulation space. Anndy highlighted on the newly released Defi research paper by South Korea’s government (Ministry of Science and NCT).

“This is the world’s first government-led Defi research paper. And I believe more governments will release their own in time to come. This shows governments’ interest and they are more ready to move into our space.” Anndy Lian told Blockcast.cc reporter.

On his views on XRP, Lian remained bullish on the outcome for XRP. He stated that right now XRP does not function like a securities and for the past, they have to sort this out properly with SEC. He also emphasized that XRP will still function well with or without Ripple as their businesses channels are all established.

Lastly, Anndy commented on the current movement, Wall Street Bets (WSB). He felt that the movement also served as a warning that financial markets are volatile and it is not for everyone.

“If a highly decentralised coin such as DOGE can be manipulated, any coins can be manipulated. So promoting WSB and changing your profile picture with the golden hair may have a negative backlash to this young crypto space.”

At the end of the session, Anndy cautioned all to be careful when investing and stay safe.

“CBDC is the beginning of another evolution” Anndy Lian told Blockchain Today Magazine

“CBDC is the beginning of another evolution” Anndy Lian told Blockchain Today Magazine

South Korea leading blockchain magazine “Blockchain Today Magazine” published Anndy Lian’s thoughts on CBDC. This quote can be found on Blockchain Today Magazine, Volume 29 Special Edition, page 43.

암호 화폐 지불에 대한 수요가있을 때 암호 화폐 채택 으로 시장을 이끌 것이고, CBDC는 또 다른 진화의 시작입니다. 개인 적으로 가장 매력적인 사용 사례는 CBDC라고 생각합니다. 투명한 외환으로 연중 무휴 24 시간 국제 거래를 돕는 디지털화는 믿을 수 없을만큼 강력합니다. XRP, BNB, LTC 또는 스 테이블 코 인은 CBDC 이니셔티브에 맞춰 디 지털 법정 화폐를 교환하기위한 브리지 자산 역할을 할 것입니다. 블록 체인 및 암호 화폐 회사가 코 인과 블록 체인 기술이 미래 CBDC의 형성에 어떻게 도움이 될 수 있는지 보여주기 위해 이제 첫 번 째 단계를 밟아야합니다.- Anndy Lian, Advisory Board Member, Hyundai DAC

When there is demand for cryptocurrency payments, it will lead the market to cryptocurrency adoption, and CBDC is the beginning of another evolution. Personally, I think the most attractive use case is CBDC. Digitization is incredibly powerful, helping international trading 24/7 with transparent foreign exchange. XRP, BNB, LTC, or stablecoin will serve as a bridge asset to exchange digital fiat currencies in line with the CBDC initiative. Blockchain and cryptocurrency companies must now take the first step to show how coins and blockchain technology can help shape the future CBDC. (Direct translation by Google Translate)

CBDC stands for “central bank digital currency,” a new type of currency that governments around the world are experimenting with. Central banks have constantly evolved through the centuries, and history shows that. CBDCs is one o which. For a start, CBDC would ensure that economies go digital. It is more than just another way to pay. It is a catalyst for currency innovation.

Anndy Lian, Advisory Board Member at Hyundai DAC Spoke at Global DeFi Summit “Do the right thing for DeFi for it to grow.”

Anndy Lian, Advisory Board Member at Hyundai DAC Spoke at Global DeFi Summit “Do the right thing for DeFi for it to grow.”

Anndy Lian, an early adopter of blockchain and cryptocurrency spoke at the Global DeFi Summit on 6 January 2021.

“Decentralized Finance (DeFi) will see a stronger interest from institutional investors this year. The macroeconomic trends of low-interest rate globally will also mean DeFi is more relevant to the companies. Traditional finance world keeps breaking, money and people will be redirected to Defi.” Anndy Lian shared.

What is the fastest-growing DeFi area or trend in 2021?

Defi will continue to grow rapidly in 2021.

A) Staking on Defi will grow faster than in 2020. This is closely linked to Ethereum 2.0. The launch of 2.0 is a critical step towards scaling ETH to a much larger capacity. The shift to POS allows huge amount of wealth to be staked as collateral. I would also think more users will not leave their ETH on exchanges. This then spurred to another observation.

B) I think there will be more Cefi and Defi integration in 2021. We will see integrations in traditional products. Crypto backed derivatives and cross-chain products will hit its peak by Q3 2021. We may also be seeing more crypto proprietary trading in 2021.

What challenges should we expect to arise for DeFi in 2021? Will regulators attempt to restrict or limit it in any way?

The challenges did not change. The reason why Defi grew so fast is due to the flawed financial structure. Governments will step in hard for 2021 but they are still playing a catch-up game. Based on what I know, governments know there are underlying enforcement issues. They are resorting to looking at using on-chain digital id to track and trace and enforce AML but this will again take time.

For example, DeFi lending projects will most likely be regulated in a similar way as financial institutions that offer margin lending. They will also be asked to register as a bank, a non-bank lender or a broker.

In conclusion, Anndy emphasized that we need to work closely together in this ecosystem and do the right thing for DeFi to grow.
