<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/hold-crypto-morgan-creek-co-founder-says-its-better-for-most-investors/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Morgan Creek Digital</a> General Partner Mark Yusko says the firm has set its sights on the international markets given the global reach of Web3. The target is to collaborate with renowned CEOs and investors to achieve its ambition.
There are indications that MCD has commenced definite conversations with corporate officers, industry experts in the field of AI, and institutional investors. The talks currently focused on investors in Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) are geared towards the expansion of its reach.
The preference for these regions is based on the projection that the EMEA and APAC will lead the AI and blockchain technology soon. The firm is however in talks also with possible partners and investors in the United States.

These figures are expected to expand with an additional $30 billion cumulative investment by 2025.
