This is a large-scale, useful playground for the blockchain community; at the same time, it is an opportunity to interact with prestigious experts and representatives of large enterprises with a broad vision of technology.

Mr. Zane Nguyen - founder of Kyros Ventures (organizer of GM Vietnam 2024) said at the opening of the event: "We are honored to welcome more than 130 speakers, 125 leading investment funds in the world and 12,000 attendees at GM Vietnam 2024. We hope everyone will continue to support GM Vietnam. Through this annual event, we hope to bring international friends a panoramic view of the blockchain picture of the Vietnamese market. In the coming years, I hope to bring Vietnam closer to many international projects".

One of the hotly discussed topics at GM Vietnam 2024 was blockchain technology and the future of the digital asset industry in Vietnam.

Blockchain technology is being viewed by many countries as an important foundation for economic development goals. According to a report by Grand View Research, the global market size is expected to reach nearly 164 billion USD by 2029, up 27 times from 5.92 billion USD in 2021.

According to Chainalysis statistics, for 3 consecutive years (2021, 2022 and 2023), Vietnam is in the top 3 on the global digital asset adoption and application rankings.

At the GM Vietnam 2024 event, Mr. Phan Duc Trung - Vice President of the Vietnam Blockchain Association (VBA) - affirmed that Vietnam has a high blockchain adoption rate, especially emphasizing the trend of Real World Assets (RWA - virtual assets connected to assets).

Mr. Trung shared: "According to data from BCG, RWA will account for 10% of global GDP by 2030. We have the right to expect the digital asset market to develop strongly... We need to expect the transformation of the traditional fintech market, because the process of developing financial institutions starts from monetization and securitization".

“In the context of a rapidly changing world, we are in the process of discussing and promoting a clear legal framework for the digital asset industry, under the direction of the Government,” Mr. Phan Duc Trung added.

In addition, the speakers also provided a “panoramic picture” of the blockchain industry; learned how AI can combine with blockchain technology; looked back at the development of the blockchain gaming segment and how this segment will change the face of the gaming industry…

The representative of the GM Vietnam 2024 organizing committee expressed that this year's event brings a professional playground, creating a strong impression on the development of blockchain technology in Vietnam and unprecedented experiences for the Vietnamese and international technology-loving community.
