Users can connect with peers and experts, follow their portfolio movements, and get updates on crypto trends and investing opportunities,” he added.
“We look forward to back Suraj and team on their journey to build a user-friendly interface for Indian Web3.0 users. We aim to support their initiative to build for the young Indian users who will potentially be the early ones to adopt crypto in India as we have seen across the globe,” Tak Lee, CEO and managing partner, Hashed Emergent , said.
