Singapore boasts over 247 fintech companies while Hong Kong is home to over 150 Web3 companies. However, Dubai claims the throne by having 772 crypto-based companies.Industry analysts project that the Asia-Pacific region will record the fastest income growth rate. This is due to high demand from banking, health, e-commerce, insurance, and financial services sectors. Emergen Research expects the global Web3 market to hit US$81.5 billion by 2030. In that same time frame, the Web3 market is expected to hit US$6.4 billion in Southeast Asia alone.
