Han Kunju, vice president of Web3 business: Those who buy bitcoin are not sold, and some people have traded more than 15 million Han Kunju, vice president of Web3 business and general manager of Fusheng Digital, also said that since the listing of 5/22, its TWEX virtual asset exchange has also achieved remarkable results, and in the process of speaking, it even cited the differences between various ages, genders, and Bitcoin and Ethereum ethnic groups. Since the launch of the exchange, more than 10,000 users have registered in a very short period of time, and the members are mainly men aged 30 to 49, accounting for nearly 50%. 75% of transactions accounted for small transactions below 1,000 yuan, and more than 80% of transactions bought Bitcoin, indicating that early users are oriented towards long-term small investment and virtual currency exchange experience. Users are spread all over Liudu, of which Shuangbei accounts for more than 40% of the penetration rate, which is consistent with Taiwan's population distribution structure. It is worth noting that up to 34.3% of members bind Fubon accounts for transactions. In the transaction data part, 75% of the transactions are mostly small transactions (less than 1,000 yuan), while 13% of the trading volume of those who buy Ethereum is selling, while only 1% of the trading volume of buying Bitcoin is selling, showing the strategic watershed of different holding coins. In addition, in terms of gender, in terms of crypto native users, there are more women than users outside the circle, which Han Kunju also said is very surprising, originally expected that breaking the circle would increase the rate of women participating in cryptocurrency transactions. TWEX trading examples and future prospects As for the part of the big trading account, Han Kunju said that an elderly woman who actively participated in the transaction (transaction volume exceeded 15 million), because frequent deposits also activated the "care process" of Taiwan's big brother, the woman said that she is very interested in crypto assets, but has not been able to find a good way to buy in the past: He told us that after seeing our listing press conference, he immediately went to set up a door number of Taiwan's big brother, and went to Fubon Bank to open an account. The overall KYC process ran for a week, and he said that he really wanted to invest in Bitcoin, but there were not many channels to reassure him in the past. Seeing such a case appear on our exchange is very exciting for all our colleagues. Vice President Han also stressed that in the future, TWEX will continue to develop new functions, the first wave will be online regular quota, legal person account opening, and at the dinner Vice President Han also revealed that many functions such as on-chain finance (On-chain Finance), wallet, Decentralized financial (DeFi) and Taigota wallet are also continuing to explore, and it is more important to be prepared at the regulatory level and integrate with their own financial holdings, and expect more daily payment applications, combined with group resources, continue to strengthen transaction experience and ecological value, and create a stable and reliable virtual asset service platform.
