Superscrypt

Our GP and Founder, @jacobkxyz represented @Superscrypt on the "Lean In: Web3, AI and Malaysia’s Global Tech Founders" panel at #KL20 today, alongside @sssionggg (@JupiterExchange) and Sophie Chiu (@AppWorks), moderated by @coingecko's @Zhongychan

Three things we believe, shared on stage:
• Malaysia’s edge goes beyond the English, Mandarin and Malay stack. Founders here navigate multiple cultures by default, which is exactly what building global, internet-native products demands.
• Asia’s currency fragmentation created the world’s largest remittance corridors. Stablecoins and crypto rails are a natural fit for how this region already moves money.
• The proof is already shipping. Jupiter was built from KL with roughly 2% of its users in Malaysia. Teams here build for the world from day one.

Thank you @jelawangcapital, @khazanah_MY and the KL20 team for the stage, and to the builders who filled the room. See you later at the Demo Stage for Jacob's panel 🫡

Bites & Brews is a wrap.

Thank you @PanteraCapital, @Anchorage and @GondorCapitalIO for co-hosting, and to everyone who turned up the night before TOKEN2049 and stayed longer than they planned to.

A lot of the best conversations were about this region. Southeast Asia has quietly become one of the densest talent pools in crypto with leading protocols coming out of here. New tech gets adopted first, and the founders are hungry in a way that’s hard to manufacture.

We’re bullish on the talent here. Exciting times ahead!

Tomorrow at @stblcnsummit, our Founding Partner, Jad Chahine, will host a fireside on what it actually takes to put stablecoins in 20M+ hands.

Join him tomorrow with @MarkusCelo from @Celo and @MurraySpark from MiniPay @opera to hear how they bring global currencies onchain, and what it actually takes to scale stablecoins past 20M users.

Details in 🧵

"When we're investing this early into a founder, you have to be the busiest and most connected person in the company."

Our GP, @jacobkxyz joined @BFMradio alongside Charles Wong of TNB Aura for a full hour on how early-stage venture actually works in Southeast Asia.

What's inside:
🔹 Why we back founders over ideas. The best builders iterate. Some of the strongest protocols in crypto are a founder's third or fourth attempt at the same problem.

🔹 Why Malaysia keeps producing world-class crypto teams: Jupiter, Pendle, Etherscan and CoinGecko all have Malaysian founders or roots.

🔹 How fast SEA is compressing: reaching $10M in revenue used to take 7-8 years here. Some teams now do it in months.

And one more from the hour, on why this job requires saying yes when it's uncomfortable:

"You can either want to take a risk, or you can be right. If you want to be right, you'll say no to everything."
