DeSpend Asia's five-city expansion: When "consumer sovereignty" shifts from a slogan to infrastructureWhen consumption behavior itself becomes a programmable asset, the high traffic walls built by traditional e-commerce platforms begin to show cracks. DeSpend's latest move may be demonstrating another possibility for Web3 consumption infrastructure.
What does it mean when a coffee shop in Seoul, South Korea, a specialty restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a spa in Jakarta, Indonesia, a handcrafted workshop in Hanoi, Vietnam, and a designer boutique in Hong Kong, China, can all directly serve global crypto asset holders through the same protocol?
Recently, Web3 consumption ecosystem DeSpend announced the opening of local service provider channels in five major markets: South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Hong Kong, China.
This seemingly ordinary business expansion is actually a structural challenge to the traditional "platform-merchant" relationship, and a large-scale debate about whether "protocols can replace platforms."
