Solana Ventures and Solana Foundation are setting their sights on the South Korean market with the launch of a $100 million fund, according to a TechCrunch report.
While the newly created fund will be mainly focused on supporting projects from South Korea, it will also invest in Terra-based applications affected by the collapse of the project.
Some Terra developers have reportedly chosen to switch to Solana.
Solana Ventures wants to tap into South Korea's growing gaming community.
Johnny Lee, general manager of games at Solana Labs, expects some exciting projects to launch on top of the network. It remains to be seen whether Solana will be able to win over skeptics in the gaming industry who continue to reject blockchain and NFT. Discord, a popular chat app for gaming, had to shelve its plan to integrate Ethereum after facing pushback from the community. While Solana was pitched as the next big thing in crypto by Wall Street in 2021, the blockchain has so far failed to live up to the high expectations.

The price of Solana (SOL) is down 84.91% from its record peak of $259.96, which was registered in early November.
