As one of the world's most influential and largest premier industry events co-created by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, this year's Hong Kong Web3 Festival not only inherits the grand vision of previous editions but also achieves a strategic upgrade in the depth of its agenda.
AGENDA
Three Core Themes Defining the Future
Theme One: The Convergence of Traditional and Crypto Finance
Over the past few years, the relationship between traditional finance and the crypto world has undergone a qualitative shift from observation and experimentation to deep integration. This year's event brings together top global financial institutions for dialogue with crypto-native forces, jointly outlining a new landscape for the digital asset era. Discussions will unfold here, ranging from the evolution of traditional payment infrastructure to the development of Web3 innovation, focusing on the "disruption and symbiosis" of stablecoins and the exploration of a new global payment system.
Here, you will gain insights into the strategic positioning of digital assets by the world's largest asset managers, understand how listed companies are incorporating digital assets into treasury management, and grasp the historic shift of digital assets from "niche exploration" to "mainstream allocation."
The implementation of Hong Kong's stablecoin regulatory "sandbox experience" and the issuance of its "first batch of licenses" will undoubtedly be a focal point of the conference.
Theme Two: The Value Reconfiguration of AI and Web3
The synergistic evolution of artificial intelligence and blockchain is giving rise to a new generation of financial infrastructure. As AI evolves from a "conversational assistant" to an on-chain entity capable of autonomous economic actions like OpenClaw, as AI Agents begin to reshape the fundamental paradigm of human-computer interaction, and as protocols like x402 micropayment and standards like ERC-8004 identity pave the way for an AI agent economy, the boundaries of technological convergence are being pushed ever forward. Centered on these rapidly unfolding transformations, numerous AI-native projects, Web3 pioneers, and top global investment institutions will gather at the Web3 Festival to collectively explore the future of AI and Web3 integration.
At this feast of ideas, you will not only gain a deep understanding of how AI Agents are becoming native economic entities on-chain but also comprehend the core logic of the synergistic evolution of AI and Web3, sensing the paradigm shift from "human-led" to "human-machine collaboration."
Theme Three: The "Ultimate Q&A" on RWA
RWA is becoming a crucial bridge connecting traditional finance with the digital economy, as well as a vital vehicle for activating real-world assets and driving financial innovation.
This year's Hong Kong Web3 Festival specially invites authoritative experts, including Zhao Yao, a specially appointed senior researcher at the National Finance and Development Laboratory, to provide in-depth interpretations of mainland regulatory policies. It also convenes globally renowned institutions such as CICC, Ondo, and Galaxy Digital, alongside top law firms, to jointly discuss the practical pathways and compliance landscape for RWA, from domestic filing to global issuance.
A high-level dialogue on how to navigate the "last mile" of cross-border compliance is about to unfold, helping Hong Kong accelerate its development into a global hub for RWA innovation.
Whether you are seeking implementation strategies for the digitization of real-world assets or hoping to gain insights into global RWA trends, you can achieve a "one-stop cognitive build" from policy to practice, from conception to execution at this year's Festival, seizing the strategic first-mover advantage in the new blue ocean of digital assets.
