A16z crypto finally extends its reach to Asia! They just announced plans to open their first Asian office in Seoul, which is quite interesting.

The person responsible for this is Sungmo Park, who was previously the head of the Asia-Pacific region at Monad Foundation. It looks like A16z is serious—this new office isn't just a signboard, but a real effort to collaborate with local entrepreneurs, connect resources, expand channels, and build community atmosphere.

Why choose Seoul? The logic is pretty clear. Cryptocurrency holdings in South Korea and Singapore have always been high, and on-chain activity in Japan is becoming increasingly active. This move by A16z clearly aims to establish a foothold in the Asian market and secure a good position before regional enthusiasm peaks.

Honestly, for the Asian Web3 ecosystem, this is a pretty good signal.
