Imagine a future when nature and finance are both comfortably integrated into Web3. Imagine an economy that incentivises regeneration, rather than extraction.

He’s a partner at OKX Ventures and also an Asia Pacific Leadership Council member at The Nature Conservancy.He drops in a Chinese saying: 人定胜天. Which refers to humanity’s determination to triumph over nature. It’s the cause of the climate crisis that we’re facing today. But it’s also our route out of this mess, if we can overcome the man made causes of this crisis. Can ReFi make that happen? Jeff thinks so.
