OKX obtains Dubai VARA license, OKX Ventures partner Jeff Ren talks about future investment strategy

On October 10, 2024, Jeff Ren, Partner at OKX Ventures, delivered key insights on the future of cryptocurrency at the Dubai Museum of the Future event titled "Dubai's New Choice: OKX and the Future of Blockchain Innovation". Jeff shared the stage with Anthony Scaramucci, Founder of SkyBridge Capital, to discuss Dubai's transformative role and leadership in the blockchain ecosystem and how OKX Ventures will support and play a role in this landscape. The event attracted leaders and industry pioneers from around the world.

In a fireside chat with Anthony Scaramucci, Jeff highlighted the unique environment that Dubai offers blockchain companies, especially its strong leadership and forward-looking regulatory framework. "Dubai is a place full of hope and a future," Jeff said, citing the city's strong legal infrastructure and friendly business environment. OKX Ventures will be committed to working closely with Web3 developers, builders, and ecosystem partners to help innovative projects come to life in Dubai to consolidate the region's position as the next global cryptocurrency hub.

In addition, Jeff Ren also talked about the strategic focus of OKX Ventures in the future: "OKX Ventures adheres to the concept of product innovation-driven and pays close attention to innovative projects centered on blockchain technology. We are proud to work with builders in this field, from Layer 1, Layer 2 and other solutions to emerging decentralized applications."

Jeff also shared OKX Ventures' commitment to decentralization, noting that although OKX is often seen as a centralized platform, the company insists on actively supporting the concept of decentralization. For example, OKX Ventures cooperates with DeFi protocols and creates infrastructure for seamless interaction between the centralized and decentralized worlds. Jeff explained that this approach provides users and developers with a "new alternative" to the traditional model, a more transparent, inclusive and future-oriented approach.

In his conversation with Scaramucci, Jeff talked about the future of the digital asset field, predicting that RWA tokenized real-world assets could be the next major breakthrough in blockchain. "The real potential lies in tokenizing assets like carbon assets or intellectual property and integrating them with blockchain technology," Jeff believes this will open up new opportunities for investors and entrepreneurs. He also talked about the rising trend of second-layer network innovations in Bitcoin, which are creating new use cases and expanding Bitcoin's utility beyond its traditional role as a store of value.

Jeff and Anthony were interviewed by Coindesk on the same day:
