According to Phil Kwok (@kwok_phil) on Twitter, a recent dinner with influential US figures—whose children are Harvard graduates—highlighted growing curiosity and fascination about cryptocurrency after it was explained to them. While some attendees were already aware of crypto, others became interested and engaged once they understood its fundamentals. This anecdote suggests that institutional and high-net-worth individuals in the US are only beginning to explore crypto opportunities, signaling potential for increased market participation and long-term growth.
