From April 20 to 23, 2026, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, jointly organized by Wanxiang Blockchain Lab and HashKey Group, will once again take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

As an annual event held in Hong Kong for four consecutive years, this year's Carnival will continue to unleash its "home advantage," linking tradition with innovation and connecting the East with the West, allowing global wisdom to converge here.

Gathering of Authorities: The 2026 Grand Event Begins Anew

Heavyweight speakers and global ecosystem partners have gathered to form a solid foundation and diverse structure for this year's event.

Currently, Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Xiao Feng, Chairman of Wanxiang Blockchain and CEO of Hashkey Group; Duncan Chiu, Legislative Council Member (Technology and Innovation Sector) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Lily Liu, President of Solana Foundation; Cynthia Wu, Co-founder and Chief Business Officer of MatrixPort; Yat Siu, Co-founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands; and Professor Lee Kwok Chan, Dean of the Global FinTech Institute and Professor at Singapore University of Social Sciences (listed in no particular order), among other global thought leaders, have confirmed their attendance to share cutting-edge insights and perspectives. More heavyweight guests will be announced continuously. Stay tuned.

Simultaneously, this year's Carnival is honored to collaborate with strategic partner the Hong Kong Trade Development Council and has received strong support from title sponsor OKX Web3, platinum sponsor Qtum, exclusive dinner sponsor Sui Foundation, first-tier booth sponsors bitbaby, HappyMeta, and SlowMist, second-tier booth sponsors Ellipal, Fufuture, and Passey, and third-tier booth sponsor RWA.LTD (sponsors of the same tier listed in alphabetical order), among other global ecosystem partners, to jointly create a global industry event deeply integrating ideas, resources, and opportunities.

Breaking Boundaries: Linking Tradition and Innovation

The appeal of this year's Carnival extends beyond the native Web3 domain, with even stronger "boundary-breaking" momentum already evident.

Leveraging the deep积淀 of Wanxiang Blockchain Lab and HashKey in resource channels and brand building, as of December 2025, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival has attracted over 500 executives from traditional finance and实体产业 to participate. These attendees are all high-net-worth individuals and core corporate decision-makers with a strong interest in the Web3 field.

Tangible cooperation begins with high-quality encounters. This is also one of the core values of this year's Carnival: building a dialogue bridge between cutting-edge digital innovation and vast traditional industry resources, making subsequent integration truly possible.

Connecting East and West: Building a Global Ecosystem

Since its inaugural event in 2023, the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival has rapidly grown into one of the world's most influential crypto summits, providing a high-standard, high-quality, and in-depth platform for global East-West exchange.

Over the past three events, it has attracted over 100,000 on-site participants, gathered more than 350 cutting-edge projects, invited over 1,200 speakers to share insights, and spawned over 400 side events, successfully building a vibrant ecosystem centered around the conference and radiating throughout the city.

As partners have stated, this platform is both "the most locally distinctive industry summit and the only one that can reach millions of high-level local developers, entrepreneurs, and newcomers" and is always committed to "connecting the most forward-looking technological forces globally," continuously "promoting the industry in finding a balance between security, compliance, and innovation."

As a hub connecting Eastern and Western Web3 ecosystems, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival will continue to leverage Hong Kong's unique advantage of "being backed by the mainland and facing the world" to build an efficient channel between the Asian market and global resources. This year's event will be dedicated to promoting the deep integration of global cutting-edge technologies, business models, and compliance practices with the Asian market. Simultaneously, it will help local outstanding developers, entrepreneurial teams, and innovative projects step onto the international stage, achieving comprehensive connectivity and value linkage from technology and resources to markets.

In April 2026, let us gather once again in Hong Kong to not only witness the future but also participate in it and define it!

iQiyi está demasiado apurado

Resumen: iQiyi, una importante plataforma china de streaming de vídeo, generó una gran polémica al anunciar su "Biblioteca de Artistas de IA" durante su conferencia mundial en abril de 2026. La compañía afirmó que más de 100 actores, como Zhang Ruoyun y Yu Hewei, se habían unido a la iniciativa, lo que permitiría, según su CEO Gong Yu, que los actores "pasaran de actuar en 4 series al año a 14". Sin embargo, varios artistas mencionados negaron rápidamente haber firmado ninguna autorización relacionada con la IA, obligando a iQiyi a aclarar que la inclusión en la lista solo indicaba su disposición a considerar proyectos de IA, no una autorización concreta. El incidente, que llegó a ser tendencia en redes sociales con el hashtag "iQiyi se ha vuelto loco", se enmarca en la creciente presión competitiva que sufre la empresa. iQiyi enfrenta el auge de las plataformas de短视频 (vídeos cortos) como Douyin y Kuaishou, así como la competencia de Bilibili y Xiaohongshu. Sus resultados financieros reflejan este desafío: en 2025, sus ingresos cayeron un 6,62% interanual, y sus ganancias operativas no GAAP se desplomaron aproximadamente un 73%. Analistas y medios interpretan este movimiento como un intento desesperado de iQiyi por contar una "nueva historia" basada en la IA para impulsar la confianza del mercado, especialmente tras haber solicitado cotizar en la Bolsa de Hong Kong. El artículo plantea tres grandes reflexiones para iQiyi: encontrar el equilibrio entre ser una herramienta de IA o el protagonista principal, sopesar la fría eficiencia de la IA frente a la calidez y el "sentimiento humano" que prefieren las audiencias, y manejar los complejos equilibrios entre los intereses de la plataforma, los artistas y los espectadores. El consenso emergente, tanto en China como a nivel internacional, es que la IA debe ser una herramienta en la industria del entretenimiento, no un reemplazo de los artistas reales.

No es una subida de precios, sino un desabastecimiento: El precio del petróleo ya ha superado el punto crítico

El mercado petrolero global ha superado un "punto de inflexión" crítico. La interrupción diaria de suministro de 11 a 13 millones de barriles ya no se manifestará mediante subidas de precios, sino a través de tres vías: caída de inventarios de crudo, escasez de productos refinados o destrucción de demanda forzada por políticas gubernamentales. El cierre del Estrecho de Ormuz ha creado un desajuste temporal irreversible: incluso si se reabre inmediatamente, el retraso logístico en el transporte marítimo provocará un agotamiento acelerado de las reservas terrestres durante semanas. Asia y Europa enfrentarán escasez física visible a partir de mayo. Un ciclo autorreforzado se activará: precios altos → compresión de márgenes refinadores → reducción de inventarios de productos refinados → recuperación de márgenes → mayor demanda de crudo. Esto imposibilita el reequilibrio convencional. Si el cierre persiste más allá de abril, el mercado enfrentará una escasez extrema donde el precio perderá su función reguladora. El único reequilibrio posible vendrá de políticas de restricción de demanda similares a las pandémicas. El precio actual de 95 dólares por barril es insuficiente. Los inventarios estadounidenses caerán críticamente para julio, y se anticipan restricciones a exportaciones de crudo y refinados. La situación geopolítica sugiere que la crisis empeorará antes de mejorar, con pocas opciones de compromiso entre Irán y EE.UU.
