Portuguese capital takes the top spot among the world’s most important crypto hubs – ahead of New York, Berlin, and Paris, according to a report by European crypto investment firm Greenfield<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company argued that, while there are multiple reports on global crypto development, regional reports are still scarce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Therefore, Greenfield conducted a survey from January 31 to March 20 this year, seeking assessments from 68 founders of projects with a deep European footprint \u00a0<\/p>\n

The report found that,\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“Lisbon is crowned the Capital of Crypto Europe \u2013 and beyond.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When asked to name three most relevant crypto hubs, the surveyed funders chose Lisbon as number one, followed by New York City and Berlin sharing second place with 35% each.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Europe has three metropolises in the top 10, with Paris taking seventh place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Singapore, taking fourth place, is the only Asian hub in the top 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the US, Silicon Valley, Miami, and Denver also ranked highly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In another question, the founders were allowed only one nomination for the most important European crypto hub.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lisbon won with 35% of the votes, followed by Berlin (30%), and Paris (20%).\u00a0<\/p>\n

London (5%) joined the top 5 list.<\/p>\n

Notably, however, 20% of the respondents were skeptical about the crypto hub concept. These were placed in the ‘none\/decentralized’ category.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One founder said that,<\/p>\n

\n

“Crypto is distributed all over the globe. There are maybe ~15-25 places that are big, each with slightly different focus\/strengths.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Many respondents assigned different focuses and advantages to different hubs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, for example, Lisbon has a strong decentralized finance (DeFi) scene, and it’s attractive to companies for tax reasons, the report said. There is a ‘crypto brain drain’ both in Europe and the US, and Lisbon benefits from both.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“Lots of American crypto migrants here in Lisbon,” it said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

New York offers good access to venture capital and Tier1-conferences.<\/p>\n

Berlin has a strong “European startup culture, a remarkable crypto track record, and one of the world\u2019s finest and most active developer pools.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paris is known for its crypto-summit scene, as well as Web3 and non-fungible token (NFT) ecosystems.<\/p>\n

Confidence in Crypto Remains High\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Greenfield’s survey made several other notable findings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though 2022 was “challenging”, it said, the surveyed founders are still confident when looking to 2023 and the future of crypto Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“A comeback is expected for 2023 and, in the long term (until 2030), nothing less than the “ubiquity of crypto”,” it said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Regulation is seen as the most influential topic of this year. The founders argued that Europe is leading the way, particularly the EU with its Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.\u00a0<\/p>\n

User experience, relevant use cases, and regulation are the biggest challenges for mass adoption.<\/p>\n

Despite its setback in market share, said the report, crypto Europe continues building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As more European crypto projects mature, there are shortages in commercial talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report concluded that European universities are creating dedicated crypto master\u2019s degrees, and that university crypto hubs are forming foremost in the UK, Ireland, and Spain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
