The vast majority of the action is happening in Asia. The English speaking aspect has always been dead in comparison. Despite it being a top 5 coin there's still virtually no mention of it on here which I've always found strange. Most of the chat seems to be happening on Telegram these days.

There's a NEM foundation based in Malaysia and all of the marketing seems to be devoted to Asia so far as well.

The 1000s of TPS things are happening on Mijin which is a private chain based on NEM's code and that's what's being marketed to finance institutions. There'll be an upgrade to the public chain at some point this year supposedly but I'm not sure what the plans are for capacity.
