In this episode, we speak with Tatsuya "Tats" Kohrogi, Head of APAC at Ginco, about the evolving landscape of Web3 technology and its transformative potential in key sectors across Asia. Kohrogi brings years of experience from SoftBank and Facebook, offering a deep dive into the applications of blockchain and decentralized technologies in industries such as finance, gaming, and asset tokenization.
Throughout the conversation, Kohrogi explains how Web3 is changing the concept of digital ownership. "Web3 is about enabling users to own a piece of the internet," he notes, highlighting how this paradigm shift allows digital assets to be monetized and traded. He also discusses the growing role of tokenization in real-world assets, predicting that in the near future, "it will be much more accessible to invest in different types of assets, wherever you are in the world."
Kohrogi further elaborates on the use of blockchain technology to solve traditional financial inefficiencies, particularly in cross-border payments: "Financial institutions are adopting blockchain to reduce both time and transaction costs in international transfers." In addition to finance, the gaming sector is seeing significant disruption. Kohrogi emphasizes that "Web3 unlocks the potential to convert time spent in games into valuable, tradable digital assets," creating new economic opportunities within the gaming industry.
This episode provides an insightful, scientifically grounded analysis of Web3's potential, backed by practical use cases and real-world examples. It is a must-listen for professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts interested in the future of blockchain and its applications in finance, gaming, and digital ownership.
