New Partnership Reinforces Importance of US Market for the Zilliqa Protocol and Zilliqa Capital

SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Zilliqa Research Pte. Ltd., the Singapore-based high security, high speed and low fee Layer 1 blockchain protocol company, and its sister company Zilliqa Capital Pte. Ltd, the Singapore-based technology company whose objective is to become the central business and investment hub for Zilliqa, announced that they have both become members of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, the world�s leading trade association representing the digital asset and blockchain industry. Through their memberships, Zilliqa and Zilliqa Capital will be able to further expand their presence in the US market and collaborate with the brilliant roster of partners and thought leaders across technology, digital assets, finance and policy, gaining critical access to new market and investment opportunities with some of the country’s leading projects.

Amrit Kumar, co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer at Zilliqa, said: “With a large network of the world’s leading figures in the blockchain industry, it is indeed a privilege to join the Chamber of Digital Commerce alongside our peers in order to further the valuable discussions around digital assets and blockchain. By leveraging the Chamber’s network, we will be able to open as many doors as we can throughout the North American market for broader exposure for our community. ”

Given the US’ prominence in shaping critical developments around the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors, membership at the Chamber of Digital Commerce will provide access to a large network of members and partners and will allow Zilliqa to play a leading role in participating in discussions on critical policy developments such as security tokens, while bringing about greater exposure to the US blockchain industry for the global Zilliqa community.

Michael H. Conn, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Zilliqa Capital, said: “With the global cryptocurrency market valued at close to $2 trillion and growing, and with real “brick and mortar” companies finally being built that are and will solve for real world challenges, we view this as the key moment to announce this partnership. We are seeking to invest in the best projects globally that can both generate revenues, while also helping to drive financial inclusion. North America and the US continue to be leading markets for innovation and we look forward to leveraging the Digital Chamber’s birds-eye seat to ensure we are abreast of critical regulatory and thought leadership developments happening in the global digital assets and blockchain industry.

Joining the Chamber of Digital Commerce is a key milestone for Zilliqa Capital as we continue to grow the Zilliqa ecosystem across the globe and foster greater conversation and collaboration between the leading US industry players in the blockchain space. This is a strong stepping stone for Zilliqa Capital towards our goal of putting $200 million to $1 billion to work in and around the Zilliqa ecosystem globally over the next two to three years, and ensures that we have a seat at the US-based dealflow table.”

Launched earlier this year, Zilliqa Capital seeks to invest in and around Zilliqa’s ecosystem in Zilliqa and relevant non-Zilliqa based businesses. The firm is targeting investments in decentralised and fintech solutions, across payments, remittances, lending, insurance and investments, as well as NFTs/gaming and other critical infrastructures that will enable Web 3.0. Zilliqa Capital is specifically focused on driving financial inclusion by investing in technological innovation globally.

“The Chamber of Digital Commerce is thrilled to welcome both Zilliqa and Zilliqa Capital into our membership,” said Perianne Boring, Founder and President at Chamber of Digital Commerce, “their mission to increase financial inclusion and champion actual use cases on blockchain technology platforms align well with the Chamber’s goal to promote the use and acceptance of blockchain based technology and digital assets.”
