Crypto Market Shifts to Traditional Finance Derivatives
During Korea Blockchain Week 2026 in Seoul, Andrei Grachev, founder of DWF Labs and Falcon Finance, pointed out a significant shift in market activity. He stated that this year has seen a move from cryptocurrency to traditional finance and its crypto derivatives.
The absence of ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) is no surprise, Grachev noted, and the market's change should not be unexpected either. DWF Labs' Haus commemorated Falcon Finance's one-year anniversary with an event in Seoul on September 29, coinciding with a discussion at CONNECT Seoul about perpetual contracts and on-chain liquidity migration in Asia.
Falcon Finance is positioned as a universal collateral infrastructure by DWF Labs, with over $2 billion of USDf in circulation. Grachev's remarks come as part of the company's efforts to highlight its expansion into traditional financial markets.
