As one of the world's most influential and largest top-tier industry events co-created by Wanxiang Blockchain Lab and HashKey Group, this Hong Kong Web3 Carnival not only inherits the grand vision of past events but also completes a strategic upgrade in the depth of topics.

Three Core Topics Defining the Future

Topic One: The Convergence of Traditional Finance and Cryptocurrency Finance

In the past few years, the relationship between traditional finance and the crypto world has undergone a qualitative transformation from observation and experimentation to deep integration. This conference gathers top global financial institutions to engage in dialogue with crypto-native forces to jointly outline a new pattern for the digital asset era. Discussions around the evolution of traditional payment infrastructures, the development of Web3 innovation forces, the "disruption and coexistence" of stablecoins, and the exploration of a new global payment system will unfold here.

Here, you will gain insights into the strategic positioning of the world's largest asset management firms regarding digital assets, understand how public companies incorporate digital assets into treasury management, and grasp the historical turning point of digital assets from "niche exploration" to "mainstream allocation."

Additionally, the "sandbox experience" and "first batch of licenses" for stablecoin regulation in Hong Kong will undoubtedly become the conference's focal points.

Topic Two: Value Reconstruction of AI and Web3

The synergy between artificial intelligence and blockchain is giving rise to a new generation of financial infrastructure. As AI evolves from a "conversational assistant" to on-chain entities capable of autonomously executing economic actions, and as AI Agents begin to reshape the fundamental paradigm of human-machine interaction, with x402 micro-payment protocols and the ERC-8004 identity standard paving the way for the AI agent economy, the boundaries of technological integration are being pushed to the forefront. Around these rapidly occurring transformations, numerous AI-native projects, Web3 pioneers, and top global investment institutions will gather at the Web3 Carnival to jointly question the future integration of AI and Web3.

At this intellectual feast, you will not only learn how AI Agents can become native economic entities but also understand the core logic of the co-evolution of AI and Web3, perceiving the paradigm shift from "human-led" to "human-machine collaboration."

Topic Three: The "Ultimate Q&A" of RWA

RWA is becoming a key bridge connecting traditional finance and the digital economy, as well as an important carrier to activate physical assets and promote financial innovation.

This Hong Kong Web3 Carnival has specially invited renowned experts such as Senior Research Fellow Zhao Yao from the National Finance and Development Laboratory to interpret mainland regulatory policies in depth; it also incorporates globally recognized institutions such as CICC, Ondo, and Galaxy Digital, collaborating with top law firms to discuss practical pathways and compliance landscapes for RWA from domestic filing to global issuance.

A high-level dialogue on how to bridge the "last mile" of cross-border compliance is about to unfold, assisting Hong Kong in accelerating its construction as a global innovation hub for RWA.

Whether you are looking for strategies for the digitization of physical assets or hoping to gain insights into global trends of RWA, you can achieve a "one-stop cognitive construction" from policy to practice and from concept to execution at this Carnival, seizing the strategic initiative in the new blue ocean of digital assets.
