S1E4: Acquired by Stablecoin Fintech Unicorn, How Taiwan’s CYBAVO Protect Everyone’s Digital Assets

Author: Meet Global @Business Next Media November 4, 2022 Duration: 41:51

As the popularity of cryptocurrencies has increased, many companies have begun to invest in virtual currency. However, this new technology has also created new problems, that is, how to manage the "private key", which symbolizes the control of funds since once the private key is stolen or lost, the digital assets in your account will never be recoverable or cashed.

Taiwanese startup Cybavo stands out in this battle of information security. Its products build a powerful digital asset management system to protect digital assets, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance operational efficiency. The products of Cybavo are favored by the U.S. fintech unicorn Circle, which acquired Cybavo in June this year.

The partnership between CYBAVO and Circle will achieve the vision of bringing blockchain infrastructure, digital assets and digital currencies to the masses and mainstreaming Web 3.

We invited COO of Cybavo, Jordan Forssman, as our guest today to introduce Cybavo, to share their contribution in cryptocurrency security and his thoughts about the role that Taiwan plays in Web 3 ecosystem.

Outline :
✅Introduction: the CYBAVO company
✅New concept: something new that comes out of Web3
✅Web 3 security: private key, digital asset protection and risk control
✅Prospect: next step for crypto security
✅Web 3 & Taiwan: the role of Taiwan in Web 3 ecosystem
