Cambodia Investment Review
Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem provider, and Royal Group of Companies (Royal Group) have entered into a Joint Venture Agreement to solidify its partnership in Cambodia to propel the Kingdom into an era of Web3 solutions – on the back of the MOU which was signed earlier this year – subject to regulatory approvals.
The agreement signing was presided over by H.E. SOU Socheat, Delegate of the Royal Government in charge as Director General of Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia.
Creating solutions and platforms based on Web3
According to Ethurithum.org, Web3 has become a catch-all term for the vision of a new, better internet. At its core, Web3 uses blockchains, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs to give power back to the users in the form of ownership. Web1 was read-only, Web2 is read-write, Web3 will be read-write-own.
