Hong Kong Web3 Carnival Shocking Debut in April: Top Topics Revealed, Heavyweight Guests Gather in Hong Kong

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

Three Core Topics Defining the Future

Topic 1: The Convergence of Traditional Finance and Crypto Finance

In the past few years, the relationship between traditional finance and the crypto world has undergone a qualitative change from observation and experimentation to deep integration. This conference gathers top financial institutions from around the world to engage in dialogue with crypto-native forces, jointly outlining a new landscape for the digital asset era. Discussions will unfold around the evolution of traditional payment infrastructure, the development of Web3 innovation, 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 the world's largest asset management institutions regarding digital assets, understand how listed companies incorporate digital assets into treasury management, and grasp the historic shift of digital assets from "niche exploration" to "mainstream allocation."

The "sandbox experience" of stablecoin regulation in Hong Kong and the rollout of the "first batch of licenses" will undoubtedly become the focus of the conference.

Topic 2: The Value Reconstruction of AI and Web3

The collaborative evolution of artificial intelligence and blockchain is giving rise to a new generation of financial infrastructure. As AI evolves from a "dialogue assistant" to on-chain entities capable of autonomously executing economic actions, as AI Agents begin to reshape the fundamental paradigm of human-machine interaction, and as the x402 micropayment protocol and ERC-8004 identity standard pave the way for the AI agent economy, the boundaries of technological integration are continuously pushed to the forefront. Around these rapidly occurring changes, numerous AI-native projects, Web3 pioneers, and top global investment institutions will gather at the Web3 Carnival to jointly explore the future of AI and Web3 integration.

In this intellectual feast, you will not only gain a deep understanding of how AI Agents become on-chain native economic entities but also comprehend the core logic of the co-evolution of AI and Web3, sensing the paradigm shift from "human dominance" to "human-machine collaboration."

Topic 3: The "Ultimate Q&A" of RWA

RWA is becoming a key bridge connecting traditional finance and the digital economy, as well as an important vehicle for activating physical assets and promoting financial innovation.

This Hong Kong Web3 Carnival has specially invited authoritative experts such as Zhao Yao, a senior researcher at the National Financial and Development Laboratory, to deeply interpret mainland regulatory policies; it also gathers globally renowned institutions such as CICC, Ondo, and Galaxy Digital, collaborating with top law firms to discuss the practical path and compliance landscape of 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, helping Hong Kong accelerate its construction as a global innovation hub for RWA.

Whether you are looking for strategies for the digitalization 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, from concept to implementation at this carnival, seizing strategic opportunities in the new blue ocean of digital assets.
