Marguerite de Tavernost from Ledger Cathay Fund emphasized BOB’s unique position in combining Bitcoin’s strengths with Ethereum’s innovative capabilities.

This integration allows developers to build dapps on Bitcoin’s network, offering users greater access to innovative applications on the Ethereum network without leaving the Bitcoin blockchain.

With $1 million dedicated to fostering new startups, BOB is well-positioned to drive innovation within the Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems.
