The future is Asian.This bold statement is the thesis of <a href="https://www.paragkhanna.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Parag Khanna’s</a> book &#34;The Future Is Asian: Commerce, Conflict, and Culture in the 21st Century&#34;.This trend is simultaneously the dawn of a brave new world, and a return to what was the status quo for most of human civilization, when Asia led the way.&#34;Billions of Asians growing up in the past two decades have experienced geopolitical stability, rapidly expanding prosperity, and surging national pride. The world they know is one not of Western dominance but of Asian ascendance,” Khanna stated.Whether or not it’s true that the 21st century will be characterized by the Asianization of the world, what we do know is that Asia will play a pivotal role in making blockchain gaming mainstream.For one, Asia is already the <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/asia:-the-engine-for-blockchain-gaming" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">world’s biggest gaming market</a>.“Asia’s gaming market is promising. It is not only the largest market in the world but brimming with growth potential. The 1.7B players in this region make up 55% of the world’s total gamers, generating $72B, or 52% of the world’s annual gaming revenue in 2019.(Source: Newzoo, IDC) Its salient per capita GDP growth will accelerate in-game purchasing power, further driving up the market share in the global games market. All these explain why Asia is widely considered the driving force to propel the global gaming industry forward for the coming decades.“The Asian gaming market is dominated by the three East Asian countries of China, Japan, and South Korea. Of the top 100 gaming companies in the world by market capitalization, 62 are from these three countries. In China, the game industry is dominated by large platform companies such as Tencent, and in Korea and Japan, the game industry is dominated by developers and publishers that produce their own games. In particular, the interest in blockchain technology is so high that game companies are working on blockchain projects, except for those in China, where cryptocurrencies are banned.”As the article points out, it’s not just the sheer number of <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/649aa0fc2f80833930fab4df/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">gamers</a> in Asia that matters, but also the type of games they prefer.In Asia, gamers like role-playing games (RPGs), as opposed to the US market, which is dominated by action or strategy games. Asian gamers also enjoy playing casual games on their mobile phones. Both genres are more suitable for blockchain gaming, because RPG players already know the value of ownership, while casual games are light enough to run on blockchain.Another important factor is that South and Southeast Asia are l<a href="https://forkast.news/crypto-south-se-asia-why-care/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">eading the way in crypto adoption</a>.“A new dawn is breaking in the world of cryptocurrencies, and it’s rising in South and Southeast Asia. An intriguing phenomenon is unfolding, as five countries from this region — with Vietnam and the Philippines in the top two spots, followed by India, Pakistan and Thailand ranking 4th, 6th and 8th, respectively — have risen to the top 10 of the Global Crypto Adoption Index. This compelling development paves the way for an exploration of the driving forces behind this extraordinary progress and a contemplation of what the future might hold.“Southeast Asia accounts for 8.6% of the world population, or approximately 688 million people. And that’s not including India and Pakistan — countries on the periphery of Southeast Asia — which more than double this number. While these numbers are vast, what’s truly fascinating is how individuals in each country are turning toward cryptocurrencies en masse, heralding a significant shift in global financial norms.”One excellent example of the success of blockchain gaming in Asia was the <a href="https://e27.co/the-philippines-can-be-korea-of-web3-says-axie-infinity-co-founder-20221117/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">meteoric rise of Axie Infinity in the Philippines</a> during the pandemic. Filipinos were onboarded en masse to the blockchain and were able to earn an income despite the challenges posed by the lockdown. Indeed, it was the Filipino love affair with Axie Infinity that put play-to-earn on the global map.Now that the play-to-earn era has paved the way for the second generation of blockchain games, expect Asia to once again <a href="https://nftnewstoday.com/2023/04/20/the-future-of-web3-gaming-in-asia/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">lead the charge</a>.“A DappRadar and Pacific Meta study revealed that Asia will likely host 80% of all Web3 gamers, despite existing gaming restrictions in some of the region’s countries. Crypto gaming initiatives from major Asia-based video game publishers such as Nexon and Square Enix further emphasize the traction that Web3 gaming is gaining in the East.”As discussed in a <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/646f041c68f0b127ded456ba/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">previous article</a>, the blockchain-based game and virtual city-state <a href="https://cryptopia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cryptopia</a> is also an RPG through one of its two gameplay modes, Adventure. In this free-to-play mode, players can earn TOS (<a href="https://cryptopia.com/tokenomics/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cryptopia token</a>) – the in-game token – by accepting tasks and going on quests.Though Cryptopia Founder, CTO and Lead Developer <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/6462202175b33b63e47bd59b/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Frank Bonnet</a> and Cryptopia Co-Founder <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/649919d72f80833930fab042/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hansco Leek</a> are both Dutch, they have relocated to Asia and are pushing the envelope for blockchain gaming in the region.For instance, Bonnet pointed out that Cryptopia not only allows gamers to enjoy playing an RPG, but also incorporates blockchain into the gameplay itself.“The nature of blockchain is its immutability. Every choice and action you make is forever; we try our best to highlight that. So whether you become a pirate, for example, you know that you can never go back to not being a pirate. I want the game to highlight the aspects of blockchain, which makes it different from other games. New players should think carefully about the steps they take because every action is transparent, everyone can see what you did, and it&#39;s irreversible,” he said.Not only is Asia leading the way, but also many Asian Web3 gaming companies are <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/asias-gaming-giants-bet-on-web3-to-transform-the-global-gaming-landscape" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">heading overseas</a>.“Many Asian companies are exploring overseas markets to stimulate the global adoption of Web3 gaming. One of them is Giant Network, a publicly traded Chinese company that has been gaining traction in Asian markets for about two decades. In March 2023, Giant Network introduced its new Web3 gaming brand for the overseas market at the 2023 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.”The future is Asian.Don’t get left behind.—————————————————————————————————————What is Cryptopia?
