Imagine a future when nature and finance are both comfortably integrated into Web3. Imagine an economy that incentivises regeneration, rather than extraction.
In this episode, I catch up with Jeff Ren, who wears two hats. 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. We chat about the following:
- The role of investment and technology in conservation
- His definition of refi
- OKX Ventures’ current appetite for ReFi investments
- What OKX Ventures looks out for when funding ReFi projects
- Whether tokenization is a distraction from bigger problems in the ESG space
- Where he sees ReFi going in the next 10-20 years
