Statement from authorities
Yves La Rose, CEO of ENF, made a statement on the developments on the EOS side, saying that it is very important for EOS to benefit from the Asian market. According to La Rose, the region has always been a key element for EOS due to its large number of tokens. Additionally, La Rose said:
“We strongly believe that the next wave of Web3 innovation will come in the form of blockchain-based gaming and GameFi. Asia is clearly the leader in this area.”
