On the evening of April 6, in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, the "Web3 Future Night" social event co-hosted by ChainCatcher and CoinUp.io successfully concluded.

The event showcased key insights and the latest developments in the Web3 field through keynote speeches, project presentations, and roundtable discussions. In a relaxed and open atmosphere, participants exchanged ideas, expanded their networks, and explored collaboration possibilities, collectively building confidence and consensus for industry development.

Kicking Off the Sharing

At the beginning of the event, the cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform CoinUp.io and ChainCatcher delivered opening remarks, expressing gratitude for the guests' attendance and briefly sharing their observations on industry development, the platform's achievements, and expectations for the event.

CoinUp.io presented a keynote speech titled "Becoming a Global Crypto Oasis." CoinUp.io stated that its vision is to promote the deep integration of Web3 and Web2 economies, allowing digital assets to coexist with traditional assets such as stocks, bonds, precious metals, and real estate, thereby building a more efficient and transparent financial system.

Regarding user asset security, CoinUp.io announced the establishment of a protection fund, which has currently reached $50 million, and committed to stabilizing the fund size at over $200 million within the next three years to create a more robust asset protection mechanism.

Hunter, co-founder of RootData, also introduced the overall development of the platform on-site. Currently, RootData has recorded over 17,000 projects, 10,000 individuals, 8,000 financing events, and tens of thousands of physical addresses, becoming a high-frequency query entry point for over 2 million users, with more than 4.2 million search requests each month.

For project dimensions, RootData has built a data system covering over 30 indicators and established a vast relational network based on investments, ecosystems, individuals, and tags.

Future Trends of Web3.0 and Project Development

Uweb founder and president Yu Jianing delivered a speech titled "Key Trends and Outlook for Web3.0 in 2025" at the event. He stated that from 2024 to 2030, digital assets in Web3.0 will evolve along "two main lines": one is the individual asset market capitalization growth driven by spot ETFs (vertical uplift), and the other is the expansion of asset pools driven by RWA tokenization (horizontal expansion). Compliance is key for mainstream institutions to enter the market.

Regarding future trends, Yu Jianing further predicted nine major trends that may emerge in the Web3.0 industry by 2025: crypto-friendly policies driven by the Trump administration, widespread adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, expansion of the RWA market, Hong Kong leading the compliance wave, explosive applications of Web3 AI Agents, continuous growth of the Meme ecosystem, Layer1/Layer2 reshaping on-chain logic, simplification of development experience through chain abstraction, and the Bitcoin ecosystem moving towards a new era of programmable and staking economies.

Yuyi, Senior Business Manager at HashKey Chain, detailed the business highlights and innovations of HashKey Chain in his speech titled "Compliance-Friendly: How HashKey Chain Defines RWA Asset On-Chain Standards." HashKey Chain is the preferred blockchain for financial institutions and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), dedicated to promoting compliant and scalable on-chain financial development.

Ryan Xu, Head of Partnerships at Interlace, also delivered a keynote speech titled "The Financial Infrastructure of Web3: The Integration of Stablecoins and CaaS." He introduced the open API services provided by Interlace for institutional clients such as wallets, exchanges, and brokers, as well as embedded financial integration services for industry users in cross-border e-commerce, B2B trade, advertising, gaming, and Web3 startups.

Interlace processed over $6 billion in transactions in 2024, with a card spending growth rate of 80%, and has served a total of 7,500 enterprises.

Roundtable Discussion and Outlook

During the "Web3 Future Night" event, Chaosmos, Head of Asia at Botanix Labs, Carl Leung, Head of Business Development at NAVI, KajiQ, Official Spokesperson for Bitget Wallet in the Chinese-speaking region, Kai Wawrzinek, Co-founder of ICN, and Charlie Sun, Business Manager at Neo, engaged in an exciting roundtable discussion on "New Crypto Trends in 2025."

In the roundtable discussion, KajiQ shared her views on the market situation. She stated that the approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs has brought short-term trading opportunities and is one of the important reasons for pushing BTC close to $100,000. However, it has also weakened the independence and speculative nature of the crypto market. She pointed out that while Trump has released many favorable policies, the mid-term realization efficiency is insufficient to support a sustained upward trend. At the same time, altcoins have not significantly benefited under macro-positive conditions.

Chaosmos, Head of Asia at Botanix Labs, introduced Botanix as a Bitcoin Layer 2 network compatible with EVM smart contracts and revealed that the mainnet will launch in May. He further pointed out that Bitcoin is currently in the mid-term of a bull market, with many viewing it as a value storage tool, and the value narrative is nearing its peak. To promote the global widespread application of Bitcoin, he believes that more application scenarios are needed.

The successful hosting of "Web3 Future Night" not only injected new vitality into the Web3 ecosystem but also provided a valuable platform for communication and collaboration among industry participants. The future innovations and breakthroughs in the Web3 industry may quietly sprout in such exchanges.
