加密货币在世界范围内的激增是由不同的用例驱动的，发达市场环境和新兴市场环境之间的关键差异越来越明显。
KuCoin Labs 负责人楼宇在土耳其伊斯坦布尔区块链经济大会第二天的主题演讲后谈到了这个话题。在接受 Cointelegraph 的独家采访时，Yu 阐述了她在全球范围内与各种项目和公司合作的经验，以及一级市场和二级市场之间的主要区别。
Cointelegraph 编辑 Erhan Karahman 在 Blockchain Economy Istanbul 采访了 KuCoin Labs 负责人楼宇。
Kucoin 在全球 200 多个国家/地区开展业务，鉴于其列出、投资和支持各种以加密货币和区块链为重点的项目，它能够很好地提供对交易习惯和趋势以及该领域创新的见解。
Yu 指出，贸易社区在新兴市场特别活跃，比发达市场更为活跃，尽管资本充足，但发达市场却不太活跃。虽然这些新兴市场经常使用加密货币，但这些地区的项目可以更好地将其服务瞄准当地市场：
“我们在这里看到的所有数据都来自二级市场，我们认为这与当地项目更相关，以造福当地经济，而不仅仅是将产品带到美国，让那里的贸易商受益。”
比特币和加密货币的潜力应对新兴市场的独特挑战 一直是伊斯坦布尔区块链经济的主题，Yu 还认为，行业塑造项目很可能来自发展中国家。
KuCoin Labs 负责人强调了欧洲和美国等发达市场主要将区块链用于加密货币的倾向。与此同时，新兴市场正在使用该技术，不仅使用和交易加密货币，而且构建工具和产品来解决棘手的问题：
“对于发达市场来说，这是一种爱好，对于新兴市场来说，这是一种必需品。在新兴国家，人们缺乏很多工具和基础设施，并且可能受到语言障碍、政治、地理、技术和经济障碍的限制。”
Yu 表示，新兴国家更需要 Web3 中的基础设施来解决 Web2 没有的问题。她还指出，KuCoin Labs 的大部分投资组合都是由发达国家的项目组成的。来自新兴国家的项目并不专注于向当地市场提供产品或服务，而是专注于解决和服务更广泛的加密货币生态系统。
Yu 强调，孵化器一直专注于通过与其他交易所、发射台以及第 1 层和第 2 层协议合作来连接生态系统。对新兴市场项目的金融投资是一个焦点，此外还有网络和建立潜在的商业伙伴关系。
