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!

Robinhood Chain Records Largest Daily Trading Volume: $874.8 Million USD, 5.5 Million Transactions

Robinhood Chain recorded its highest daily trading volume and transaction count since its mainnet launch on July 1, with $874.8 million in DEX volume and over 5.5 million transactions. The network briefly surpassed Ethereum and Hyperliquid in application revenue, trailing only Solana. Activity followed a two-month cycle: an initial launch spike, a six-week decline to around $140 million daily in early August, and a three-week rally to new highs. The recent record was driven significantly by the permissionless token launchpad Pons.family, which alone accounted for roughly 51% ($445.98M) of the network's total volume that day. This represents a massive surge from its mid-August levels. While Uniswap Labs launched a competing, zero-fee platform (Pools.trade) in early August and briefly overtook Pons, momentum quickly shifted back. Pons's growth is partly fueled by a reflexive fee cycle, where 80% of protocol fees fund automatic token buybacks and burns, shrinking supply and attracting attention. The broader market rally, with Bitcoin surpassing $81,500 and Ethereum surging nearly 29% weekly, created fertile ground for speculative launchpad activity. Robinhood Chain's low coincided with the market bottom, and its recovery mirrored the upturn. The key question for Robinhood Chain is whether it can sustain transaction activity and volume once the current speculative frenzy on platforms like Pons subsides.

After Affecting Two Generations, Meta Ordered to Pay $18 Billion

In a landmark settlement mirroring the historic 1998 tobacco case, Meta has agreed to pay up to approximately $18 billion to resolve lawsuits filed by 52 US states and territories. The lawsuits alleged that Meta deliberately designed addictive features like infinite scroll and push notifications to hook teenagers, concealed known harms to youth mental health, and illegally collected data from children under 13. Faced with a potential $1.4 trillion claim and a series of unfavorable prior rulings, Meta chose to settle rather than risk a jury verdict. Beyond the financial penalty, the core of the 10-year agreement is a set of mandatory product changes for Instagram and Facebook. These include hard daily time limits and nighttime blocks for teen users, restrictions on notifications during school hours, hiding like counts, offering a non-algorithmic feed option, and implementing stricter age verification. An independent auditor will oversee compliance. Crucially, Meta tied 30% of the settlement amount to a condition requiring TikTok and YouTube to adopt similar restrictions and pay comparable fines, aiming to create an industry-wide standard and level the competitive playing field. Analysts compare this moment to the tobacco settlement, which fundamentally reshaped industry rules and public perception. The outcome signals a major shift in regulatory pressure on social media's core engagement models, particularly concerning minors, with ongoing lawsuits likely to target other major platforms.
