Our Chief Growth Officer & Partner, Samantha Bohbot, shared her views on European crypto startups to watch with Sifted. 

She highlighted Ethena Labs, the DeFi startup that is behind uSDe, an on-chain structured product with an inventive design that has lured investors with yield as high as 113% in March, Union Labs, a modular interoperability layer that lets web3 builders choose what L2s and appchains that want to build on and frees them from hacking together smart contracts, and MatrixONE, that is launching an AI character protocol on the #Solana blockchain, that will let users easily create ownership-tracked from Day 1 human-immersive AI and distribute it across applications.

Congratulations to Kamino Finance on the successful launch of its $KMNO governance token! This marks a significant step forward, empowering $KMNO holders to influence the project's development.

Kamino Finance is designed to simplify the management of digital assets with features like automated liquidity, lending, borrowing, and yield farming. It has already secured $1bn in Total Value Locked (TVL) and leads as the top USDC venue on Solana.

Innovative features, such as the Unified Liquidity Market and kTokens for leveraged liquidity, give us high conviction in Kamino’s potential. The founding team's strong execution and deep market knowledge make it a leader in Solana DeFi, and we’re excited to continue supporting them on the journey ahead!

Last week's TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai confirmed the city's position as a global crypto epicenter. Prominent speakers including the Telegram Messenger CEO Pavel Durov, Tether.to CEO Paolo A., Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire, and founders from Solana Foundation (including Raj Gokal) and Polygon Labs (Sandeep Nailwal) underscored the event's significance.

RockawayX's Managing Partner, Viktor Fischer, shared the main stage with industry leaders like Sergey Nazarov (Chainlink Labs), Justin Schmidt (Ondo Finance), and Max Boonen (PV01) to discuss the future of Real World Assets (RWAs). They highlighted the benefits of #RWA for unlocking the use of diverse assets as collateral, the ability to improve transparency and access to financial assets such as bonds, and the massive growth opportunity they therefore see in this space counting 100s of trillions of dollars.

Dubai's strategic position fosters unparalleled opportunities for blockchain innovation, making it an ideal hub for digital asset advancements. RockawayX is committed to leading the charge and spending more time in the region.
