Force Web3 Weekly Investment and Financing Events（2022.5.26–2022.6.2）№31Period
--
There are different attitudes toward cryptocurrencies and the industry in general worldwide. Generally, it can be divided into hard-hitting, ambiguous, and environmentally friendly. On the one hand, the cryptocurrency industry is still in its early stages. There are no highly targeted, standardized laws and regulations, so it is accessible to breed-related gray sectors. On the other hand, the digital currency will impact the authority and legitimacy of domestic legal currency to some extent and may endanger financial and social stability.
In addition, the world’s different environmental indicators, such as China’s carbon neutrality and carbon peak, also forced the relevant departments to severely crack down on the power consumption of encryption industry “mining.” All these factors make the number of hard-hitting types in the world not to be underestimated. In the mainstream world, you can understand ambiguity literally, such as in the United States and Europe. Some normative， outlawed policies and regulations do not fully accept cryptocurrency into the traditional financial circle, excent for incentives, such as the emergence of legally licensed cryptocurrency banks in Europe and The United States.
The last type of friendliness is found in South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Central America. For example, in El Salvador, a volcanic country that accepts Bitcoin as legal tender, chain games are also popular in The South Pacific market. Friendly countries have friendly policies and have relatively high recognition and acceptance of cryptocurrencies and industries among the general public. Generally, it is suitable for the crypto industry to conduct business in these regions. There is a “transition” line of Web3 pay company in this financing period. Merge focuses on cryptocurrency payments. It seeks to enable cryptocurrency companies to make payments more efficiently and partner with traditional financial services. The conventional conservative investment will relatively accept this transition route.

正文：当前世界各国对加密货币及整个加密行业态度不尽相同。总体来说可分为严厉打击型、模棱两可型以及环境友好型。一方面，加密货币行业当前仍处于早期阶段，并没有具有强针对性、规范化、标准化的法律法规，容易滋生相关的灰色行业。另一方面加密货币或者我们称为数字货币又在某种程度上会冲击本国法币的权威性与合法性，有可能危害金融与社会稳定。此外，世界各国的环保指标，例如我国的碳中和与碳达峰，也迫使相关部门严厉打击强耗电性质的加密行业“挖矿”。以上种种因素使得严厉打击型在世界范围内数量不可小觑。而模棱两可型大家顾名思义即可理解。这类在世界范围是主流，比如美国欧洲，既有一些规范或者取缔的政策法规，比如不全面接受加密货币进入传统金融圈，也有友好型的激励措施，比如在欧美有合法执照的加密货币银行出现。总体来说，这类型进可攻，退可守，弹性较大，可随时针具全行业发展态势酌情调整政策倾向。最后一类友好型，常见于南亚、东南亚、拉美以及中美洲地区。比如接受比特币为法定货币的火山之国萨尔瓦多，链游在南洋也颇受市场欢迎。友好型国家不仅体现在政策友好，加密货币及行业在整个民间的认知度和接受度也相对较高。综合来说，很适合加密行业在这些地区开展业务。本期融资中，就有一个走“过渡”路线的Web3支付公司，Merge专注于加密货币支付，力求加密货币公司能够以更有效的方式进行支付并与传统金融服务合作。这种过渡路线，也会相对受传统保守投资的认可。好了，话不多说，来看本周的融资大事件吧。
