 <p>Blockchain Capital’s prior investments have illuminated the crypto landscape with names like Worldcoin, Kraken, and the NFT market giant OpenSea. Even with the NFT market showing some turbulence, the firm remains optimistic, highlighting the broader applications of NFTs, such as embedding financial products or real estate dealings onto the blockchain.</p> 
 <p>As the U.S. continues to present regulatory challenges for <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>-based <a rel="dofollow" title="ventures" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/ventures.html">ventures</a>, Kinjal Shah, a general partner at the firm, mentioned an observable interest shift in companies looking at overseas expansions. With the sudden downfall of Silicon Valley Bank earlier this year, U.S. startups are diversifying their banking associations. Simultaneously, regions like Europe and specific Asian sectors are emerging as the new epicenters for <a rel="dofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> advancements.</p>
