Increasingly we are producing stories in English, especially video interviews, even if English is not our native language. We believe it strengthens our mission, as a Nordic media startup in web3: 1) We persist in sourcing international news and insights and adapting them to fit a Nordic context and audience. 2) We spotlight Nordic initiatives, companies, projects, and individuals for both Nordic and international viewership.

Tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs) is making the headlines in the international financial media, both within and outside of the crypto industry. Why is this? We have invited Lise Wessel and Thomas Tallis to shed some light on this trend.

We have been saying it for a long time: The web3-related ideas, innovations and products worked on, with Nordic founders and developers involved, are much larger than are generally known.

Our founder and editor, Morten Myrstad, has talked with Jacobo, both about Nahmi, the work that Nahmi has done for Norges Bank, and about their new platform, Nahmii 3.0, now ready for the market.

After having worked on its data, algorithm, and prediction technology for a couple of years, and lately made some breakthroughs, the Norwegian Music Tech startup Nexro is planning to go “global first.” Nexro is right now working to raise 430,000 Euros (5 million NOK) in a founding round, and we have interviewed founder and CEO Svitlana Pozniakova, or Lana, as she is mostly known.
