At BUIDL 2025 hosted by Foresight News, Lingling Jiang, Partner of DWF Labs, shared key insights on crypto investing, regulation, and more. Keep reading to learn about her insights 💬


1️⃣ Investment Strategy:

- Diversifying across multiple crypto sectors is crucial to manage risk
- Passive strategies such as dollar-cost averaging into assets can be more suitable for beginners
- Active strategies offer potentially higher returns but require deeper market knowledge

2️⃣ Institutional vs. Individual Strategies:

- Institutions generally follow systematic, risk-controlled, and long-term strategies
- Individuals have more flexibility but must manage risk carefully

3️⃣ Looking Ahead:

- Global regulation is progressing (e.g. MiCA in EU and the STABLE Act in the U.S.), a promising indication of greater Web3 adoption
- AI technologies have potential to drive smarter, more efficient asset management

Lingling Jiang, Partner of DWF Labs, shared in a podcast with Block Fuel during #ETHDenver on crypto regulation, investment strategies, and market trends 🔥 Key insights below👇

1️⃣ Institutional adoption in Hong Kong: Crypto was originally met with scepticism in Hong Kong, but regulatory developments and growing institutional interest are driving collaborations between traditional finance and Web3. Banks are also exploring crypto services.

2️⃣ Balancing hype and substance: In Web3 investments, hype matters, but longevity and revenue potential are just as crucial. Strong teams who demonstrate experience, transparency, and adaptability are key to success.

3️⃣ AI & stablecoins leading in 2025: the market is pivoting from a focus on Layer 1 & 2 blockchains to AI-driven DeFi tools and stablecoins. AI-powered trading and automation could improve efficiency in crypto by eliminating emotion-driven trading.

4️⃣ U.S. market outlook: While there’s renewed optimism for crypto in the U.S., companies are still waiting for clearer regulations before making major moves.

5️⃣ Falcon: Lingling also shared about her Partner role at Falcon, a synthetic dollar that offers sustainable and competitive yields.

Thank you to the team at Block Fuel for the great interview 🤝

Read the full recap here.

We've implemented several significant improvements to our Crypto Token Status Bot:

New and Improved Features:

✅ Enhanced Status Tracking
We've expanded our status system to include pending listings alongside trading and unlisted statuses. This provides early notifications about upcoming token listings, giving traders valuable time to prepare strategies before official launches.

✅ Expanded Exchange Support
Our bot now tracks both Spot and Futures markets for all supported exchanges. We've expanded wallet address support across multiple exchanges and networks, ensuring comprehensive coverage of new token listings as soon as they appear.

✅ Hashtag Filtering System
A new filtering system allows easy navigation through updates using hashtags:
-Exchange tags: #binance, #htx, #gate, #bybit, #okx, #kucoin, #mexc, #coinbase, #upbit, #bithumb
-Status tags: #added, #removed, #suspended, #status_updated, #trading, #delisted
-Listing type tags: #spot, #future, #launchpad, #web3
Other tags: #news

These improvements enhance the tracking capabilities and user experience for all subscribers.

Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of DWF Labs, discussed real-world assets (RWAs) and tokenisation with The Birb Nest and Paweł Łaskarzewski 🔥

Key insights:
1️⃣ Andrei shared that USDT is a prime example of tokenisation. By tokenising a fiat currency like the US Dollar, transferring and sending money has become seamless and efficient.

2️⃣ RWAs utilising blockchain technology enhance transparency in the transfer of assets, as they have digital identities and are traceable.

3️⃣ Tokenisation technologies should be scalable and cost-effective for greater efficiency and broader use cases.

Lingling Jiang, Partner of DWF Labs, spoke during the panel 'The Evolution of Investment: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities' at Alpha: Hong Kong Edition hosted by Luna PR.

Keep reading for her key insights on investment strategies 👇

1️⃣ Lingling shared that AI technologies and agents will make investing more efficient by using data-driven insights to identify trends, analyse on-chain data, and monitor market sentiment.

2️⃣ This shift will improve efficiency by making investment decisions less influenced by human emotion — ensuring investments are less risky and more sustainable.

3️⃣ Memecoins will continue to be a significant part of the crypto industry. Lingling advised that investors looking to invest in memecoins should prioritise performing due diligence, focus on projects with strong communities driving value, and have a clear exit strategy.

4️⃣ She highlighted that when DWF Labs evaluates projects to invest in, we prioritise strong founding teams and clear revenue models. A particularly crucial aspect is mass adoption potential, which is a sign of sustainability.

As we wrap up the week we’re celebrating the crypto community and the fruitful conversations from this week. Thank you to fellow panellists Yat Siu, Sylvia T, and Carlo Palomino for today’s conversation 🤝

We had an awesome time today with our team at Protocol Village and the Builders Stage, connecting with fellow innovators and builders.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, grabbed some of our exclusive merch, and joined us for great conversations 🤝

#DWFLabsxConsensusHK

During #ConsensusHK, Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of DWF Labs, shared during his keynote 'Dimensions of the Crypto Market'. He covered current key verticals in crypto and where the industry will pivot in the future. More below👇

1️⃣ Institutions
As Bitcoin continues to solidify its role as digital gold, the crypto industry is pivoting towards Bitcoin ETFs. Governments are building Bitcoin treasuries, driving institutional interest 🏛️

2️⃣ Utility
The utility vertical has previously been led by L1 and L2 solutions, though Andrei believes the trend is phasing out. Visionaries are leading in this vertical as utility coins are high risk but present many opportunities.

3️⃣ Memes
Memecoins remain a focus in our portfolio, but we focus on projects that have shown sustainable success through strong and engaged communities.

4️⃣ Dimensions of the Future
Real-World Assets, DeFi, AI, and yield-bearing assets will also be key aspects of the crypto industry moving forward. As part of our commitment to building innovative technologies and being a leader in the crypto space, powered by DWF Labs, Falcon, the next-generation synthetic dollar, was launched🔥

Looking forward to a fruitful rest of the week 🤝

We started off Consensus week strong 🔥

Lingling Jiang, Partner of DWF Labs, shared during a panel at Animoca Brands Portfolio Day. Key takeaways below 👇

1️⃣ Lingling shared that product and token strategy are both important but serve different roles. Long-term success comes from a strong product, while a token helps drive early adoption.

2️⃣ On short-term versus long-term plays, she shared that memecoins generate excitement but infrastructure projects, especially those bridging L1s and L2s, create lasting value and growth.

3️⃣ Lingling advised that founders should have a clear roadmap & business model, realistic valuations, and focus on execution over hype.

4️⃣ Lingling also shared that at DWF Labs, we're bullish on the stablecoin and AI Agent verticals, with the launch of our $20M AI Agent Fund and the upcoming launch of Falcon, the next-generation synthetic dollar.

Thank you to Jonah Lau for moderating a great panel with fellow panellists Filip Wielanier and Jason Lau 🤝
