I-VALR  Njengoba nje bengilangazelela ukuxhuma iHong Kong neDubai, ngijabule ngokuxhuma i-Asia ne-Afrika, ngoba kuvela kulokhu kuxhumana lapho singakhulisa khona kakhulu.    Yini eyakukhuthaza ukuthi ujoyine i-VALR, futhi indima yakho njenge-CMO iguquke kanjani selokhu ungenile ngoNovemba 2023? U-Ishan Pandey:    Phakathi no-2023, ngangicabanga ngokujulile ukusuka embonini yokushintshanisa futhi ngigxile emfundweni elula yezimpande ze-bitcoin esiqhingini esikude endaweni ethile.

Umqondo wezimiso zokuziphatha, ubumbano nokuzibophezela ekubeni neqiniso nakho kuyingxenye yesiko langaphakathi lenkampani. Lokhu kuyaqabula kakhulu.  Anginaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ngiletha ini etafuleni, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi ozakwethu bangase bathi, ngikhuphule amazinga okuqina futhi, ngakho, amazinga okucindezeleka. Ekugcineni, ngicabanga ukuthi sonke sijabule ngalokho okuphambi kwethu uma sibekezela. Ngingathini, ngaphandle kokuthi “engeza amafutha!”    I-VALR inezinhlelo zokufisa i-Asia. Ungakwazi yini ukusitshela okwengeziwe ngesu lokungena kule makethe kanye nezinselelo ezibalulekile olindele ukubhekana nazo? U-Ishan Pandey:    Nakuba i-VALR idume kakhulu eNingizimu Afrika njengomdlali ovelele, amakhasimende ethu amakhulu asevele ese-Asia. Ezinyangeni ezizayo, sizoqhubeka nokubamba imihlangano, ukuhambela izingqungquthela, ukwakha ubambiswano futhi maduze nje sizobe sethula uhlelo lwethu lokusebenza ngesi-Chinese.

Njalo ngenyanga, siklomelisa iTop Futures Traders ngevolumu ngenani lemiklomelo elingagijima lifike ku-5 million USDT ngenyanga, kuye ngevolumu yokuhweba. Futhi sisemavikini okugcina e-Solana Summer, lapho sisabalalisa ngaphezu kuka-300 SOL njengemiklomelo kubahwebi bawo wonke amazinga.

I-Asia iyikhaya kwamanye ama-crypto exchange amakhulu kakhulu emhlabeni. Yini eyenza okunikezwayo kwe-VALR kuhluke kule makethe eqhudelana kakhulu? I-Ishan Pandey:    Kukhona ukuhwebelana okuningi kulesi sifunda okuza nesizinda ku-forex, e-commerce noma ukugembula ku-inthanethi. Ifilosofi yokukhula eyisisekelo salezi zinhlobo zokuhwebelana isebenza kahle kakhulu. Ben Caselin:  I-VALR ihluke kakhulu kulokhu.

I-Asia inesithakazelo esikhulu kithi, kodwa le makethe nayo igcwele kakhulu futhi abantu balambele amathuba amasha. I-VALR ivula amathuba anjalo ngokwakha amabhuloho phakathi kwamahabhu ahlukahlukene e-crypto, ivula ngempumelelo i-Afrika kubalingani bethu base-Asia, eYurophu nase-US, kuyilapho sandisa abasebenzisi bethu emhlabeni wonke.  Njengoba abaningi bezokwazi, imakethe yase-Afrika iya ngokuya ibonakala njengendawo evundile yokwamukelwa kwe-crypto ngenxa yokwehla kwamandla emali, ukungasebenzi kahle kwamabhange, kanye nesidingo sokufakwa kwezimali. Ngokuxhuma lezi zifunda ezimbili—izimakethe ze-crypto ezimisiwe zase-Asia kanye nalezo ezisafufusa zase-Afrika—i-VALR isebenzisa isu lokukhula eliyingqayizivele ezimbalwa ezinye ukuhwebelana ezisesimweni sokulilandela. Ukusekelwa kwethu yi-Pantera Capital, i-Coinbase Ventures kanye ne-GSR, kanye nokunikezwa kwethu amalayisensi kwakamuva eNingizimu Afrika, ngaphansi kwe-FSCA, nakho kudlala indima eyingqayizivele ye-VALR.

Siphinde sibambisane namanye ama-fintech amakhulu e-Afrika asiza izigidi zamakhasimende, ngokuwavumela ukuthi akhe ku-VALR futhi asebenzise ingqalasizinda yethu. Kodwa ngaphandle kwezinkampani zomdabu ze-crypto kanye ne-fintech, sisezingxoxweni ezithuthukile namanye amabhange amakhulu e-Afrika - kodwa asikakakhululeki ukuthi sabelane okwengeziwe ngalokhu. U-Ben Caselin:  E-Asia, akufani. Sivulelekile ukusebenzelana namaphrojekthi amasha e-Web3, abakhiphi be-stablecoin, ama-fintech, abahlinzeki bezimali, kodwa nama-KOL, amaqembu okuhweba, ama-aggregator, usho lokho. Ukukhula kumayelana nokwenza ukuxhumana futhi yilokho kanye esikwenzayo.

I-Ishan Pandey:    Akukhona ukubukela phansi ukusho ukuthi umhlaba usezinxushunxushwini ezinkulu. Ngaphambili, singabona uhlelo lwezezimali lomhlaba wonke lungaphansi kwengcindezi enkulu nokuntengantenga okungakaze kubonwe kuzo zonke izimakethe zezimali, futhi ngokwepolitiki umhlaba nawo awuphephile. Ben Caselin:  Sikholelwa ukuthi ukwamukelwa kwe-bitcoin kanye ne-crypto kuyingxenye ebalulekile yokuxazulula ezinye zezinkinga ezinkulu zomhlaba, okusho ukuthi kithina kufanele siqhubeke sihamba. Ubuqotho buyawina njalo nangokuhlala ngokweqiniso ezimisweni zethu - izindinganiso ezinjengobunye, ukuba neqiniso, ukubeka izinto obala kanye nobulungiswa - sikholelwa ukuthi sinethuba elihle kakhulu lokuphumelela isikhathi eside.    Yiziphi ezinye zezinhloso ezibanzi othemba ukuzifinyelela kwa-VALR eminyakeni embalwa ezayo, ikakhulukazi mayelana nokukhula komhlaba kanye nomthelela wezimboni?

Ngikholwa ukuthi i-VALR izoba yisikhungo esinjalo futhi sithatha zonke izinyathelo ezifanele ukuze sifike lapho. U-Ben Caselin:  Ngonyaka ozayo, sizobe sihlela umcimbi okhetheke kakhulu eKapa, eNingizimu Afrika - uzoba yingqayizivele futhi ube nomthelela. Ngithemba ukubona abaningi abalingani bethu base-Asia kanye nomphakathi lapho, ukuze ngokubambisana sikwazi ukuxhuma amazwekazi ahlukene, sivule izimakethe ezintsha futhi sakhe umhlaba ongcono.
