On the evening of April 6th, at Queen's Road in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, the "Web3 Future Night" social event co-hosted by ChainCatcher and CoinUp.io successfully concluded.
The entire event presented key insights and latest developments in the Web3 field through theme speeches, project showcases, and roundtable discussions. In a relaxed and free exchange atmosphere, participants collided ideas, expanded networks, explored collaboration possibilities, and collectively built confidence and consensus for industry development.
Opening the Sharing Prelude
At the beginning of the event, the crypto derivatives trading platform CoinUp.io and ChainCatcher delivered opening remarks, thanking guests for their attendance and briefly sharing their observations on industry development, platform milestones, and expectations for this event.
CoinUp.io delivered a theme speech titled "Becoming a Global Crypto Oasis". CoinUp.io stated that its vision is to promote deep integration of Web3 and Web2 economies, enabling digital assets to coexist with traditional assets like stocks, bonds, precious metals, and real estate, and jointly construct a more efficient and transparent financial system.
In terms of user asset security, CoinUp.io announced the establishment of a protection fund, currently reaching $50 million, and promised to maintain the fund size above $200 million in the next three years to build a more robust asset protection mechanism.
RootData co-founder Hunter also introduced the platform's overall development. Currently, RootData has collected over 17,000 projects, 10,000 individuals, 8,000 investment events, and tens of thousands of entity addresses, becoming a high-frequency query entry for over 2 million users, with more than 4.2 million search requests monthly.
For project dimensions, RootData has built a data system covering over 30 indicators and constructed a massive relationship network based on investment, ecosystem, individuals, and tags.
Web3.0 Future Trends andProject Development
Uweb founder and president Yu Jianing delivered a speech titled "2025 Web3.0 Key Trends and Outlook". He stated that digital assets in Web3.0 from 2024-2030 will evolve along "two main lines": first, spot ETF-driven individual asset market value growth (vertical lift), and second, RWA tokenization driving asset pool expansion (horizontal expansion). Compliance is key for mainstream institutional entry.
Regarding future trends, Yu Jianing further predicted nine potential developments in the Web3.0 industry by 2025: crypto-friendly policies driven by the Trump administration, widespread adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, RWA market expansion, Hong Kong leading the compliance wave, Web3 AI Agent application explosion, continued Meme ecosystem growth, Layer1/Layer2 reshaping on-chain logic, chain abstraction simplifying development experience, and Bitcoin ecology moving towards a new era of programmable and staking economy.
HashKey Chain senior business manager Yuyi, in the speech "Theme: Compliance-Friendly - How HashKey Chain Defines RWA Asset On-Chain Standards", detailed HashKey Chain's business highlights and innovations. HashKey Chain is the preferred blockchain for financial institutions and Real World Assets (RWA) tokenization, committed to promoting compliant and scalable on-chain financial development.
Interlace partnership head Ryan Xu also delivered a speech titled "Web3's Financial Infrastructure: Stablecoin and CaaS Fusion". He introduced Interlace's open API services for wallet, exchange, and broker institutional clients, and embedded financial integration services for cross-border e-commerce, B2B trade, advertising, gaming, and Web3 startups.
Interlace has processed over $6 billion in transactions in 2024, with a card consumption annual growth rate of 80%, and has served 7,500 enterprises.
Roundtable Dialogue and Outlook
At the "Web3 Future Night" event, Botanix Labs Asia head Chaosmos, NAVI business development head Carl Leung, Bitget Wallet Chinese region official spokesperson KajiQ, ICN co-founder Kai Wawrzinek, and Neo business manager Charlie Sun engaged in an exciting roundtable discussion about "2025 Crypto New Trends".
In the roundtable discussion, Bitget Wallet Chinese region spokesperson KajiQ shared her market outlook. She stated that Bitcoin spot ETF approval brought short-term trading opportunities and was a key reason for BTC approaching $100,000. However, it also weakened the crypto market's independence and speculative nature. She noted that Trump released many positive signals, but medium-term conversion efficiency was insufficient to support sustained growth. Meanwhile, Altcoins did not significantly benefit from macroeconomic positive factors.
Botanix Labs Asia head Chaosmos introduced Botanix as an EVM-compatible Bitcoin Layer 2 network and revealed plans to launch the mainnet in May. He further pointed out that Bitcoin is currently in the mid-bull market, with many viewing it as a value storage tool, and its value narrative is approaching its peak. To promote global Bitcoin adoption, he believes Bitcoin needs more application scenarios.
The successful hosting of "Web3 Future Night" not only injected new vitality into the Web3 ecosystem but also provided a valuable communication and collaboration platform for industry participants. The future innovations and breakthroughs in the Web3 industry may be quietly emerging in such exchanges.
