Abstract

Web2+3 Summit: Defining the Next Generation of Digital Economy The 6th BEYOND International Technology Innovation Expo (BEYOND Expo 2026), Asia's largest tech and ecosystem exhibition, is launching a dedicated Web2+3 stage for the first time. Co-hosted by BEYOND Expo and ChainNeXT Group, the Web3 Summit will take place from May 28–30, 2026. Against the backdrop of accelerating global tech integration, the boundaries between Web2 and Web3 are rapidly blurring. With clearer global regulations for blockchain-driven internet (Web3) and the special issuance of a Hong Kong dollar stable币 license by the Hong Kong SAR government on April 10, 2026, Web3's decentralized principles are quickly merging with traditional industries (Web2) such as e-commerce, finance, and artificial intelligence. Focused on blockchain-driven digital economy elements, the summit will center on three core principles—implementability, commercial viability, and compliance. It will bring together top Web3 experts to discuss key integration areas like stablecoin payment finance (PayFi), real-world asset tokenization (RWA), and decentralized AI (DeAI), unveiling new opportunities for industrial innovation. The first wave of confirmed speakers includes Jack Kong (Director of Hong Kong Cyberport, Chairman of Nano Labs), Yat Siu (Chairman of Animoca Brands), Michael Wu (Co-founder & CEO of Amber Group), Michael Heinrich (Co-founder & CEO of 0G), and Art Abal (Co-founder of Vana). More Web3 ecosystem pioneers, AI,...

Asia's largest technology innovation and ecosystem expo, the sixth BEYOND International Technology Innovation Expo (hereinafter referred to as "BEYOND Expo 2026"), has officially announced the establishment of a dedicated Web2+3 stage for the first time. As one of the important segments of BEYOND Expo, the Web3 segment will be jointly hosted by BEYOND Expo and ChainNeXT Group (链新ChainNeXT) from May 28 to 30, 2026!

Against the backdrop of accelerating integration in the global technology industry, the boundaries between Web2 and Web3 are rapidly merging. Legislation regarding blockchain-driven internet (Web3) is becoming increasingly clear in various countries, and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government officially issued licenses for Hong Kong dollar stablecoins on April 10, 2026. The decentralized concept of Web3 is rapidly integrating with traditional industries (Web2), such as cross-border e-commerce, finance, artificial intelligence, and more.

This summit focuses on exploring the elements of blockchain digital economy, centering around the three core principles of "implementable, commercializable, and compliant." It will invite top experts from the Web3 industry to delve into directions such as stablecoin payment finance (PayFi), tokenization of traditional financial assets (RWA), and decentralized artificial intelligence (DeAI) in combination with industries, revealing new opportunities for industrial innovation!

Ethereum Gains Institutional Spotlight – Here’s What The CEO Of Etherealize Has To Say

Ethereum is gaining significant institutional interest, with Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman positioning it alongside Bitcoin as a core institutional asset. Raman highlights ETH's proof-of-stake model, yield potential, and role in tokenized assets and stablecoins as key drivers for its growth. He emphasizes Ethereum's neutrality and trustless nature, making it ideal for global financial infrastructure. Long-term price projections from analysts like Julien CryptoBoost suggest ETH could reach between $12,000 and $38,000 by 2033, supported by growing stablecoin volumes, upcoming upgrades, and institutional adoption. Despite current bearish trends, Ethereum's fundamentals and fee generation indicate strong future potential, with some experts calling it undervalued.

Cardano Founder Warns XRP Investors, Is Ripple Doing Something Wrong?

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has warned XRP investors, claiming Ripple is dumping its XRP holdings to fund business acquisitions without benefiting token holders. He alleges Ripple controls 80% of the supply and uses sales to build Web 2.5 companies, with no buybacks or value distribution to XRP investors. Hoskinson also notes the lack of staking or DeFi mechanisms on XRPL reduces organic demand. Despite Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse calling XRP central to their vision, Hoskinson compares Ripple to Tether in accruing value solely for itself. XRP price fell nearly 2% to around $1.40.

Shiba Inu Crosses 20,000 Burn Transactions Milestone, Dogecoin Eyes X Money, But Why Are Prices Down?

Shiba Inu has surpassed 20,000 burn transactions, aiming to reduce its large token supply, while Dogecoin gains attention due to speculation about its potential integration into X's payment system, referred to as X Money. Despite these developments, both cryptocurrencies are experiencing downward price trends. Shiba Inu trades around $0.000006, showing short-term declines and limited demand, indicating that burn efforts alone aren't enough to boost prices in a weak market. Similarly, Dogecoin remains around $0.09, far from bullish projections, as market sentiment remains cautious without concrete implementation details. Ecosystem progress is overshadowed by a lack of strong capital inflows and broader crypto market uncertainty.

Crypto Whale Wallets Accumulate Ozak AI Aggressively as Presale Funding Surpasses $6.8 Million

Crypto whales are aggressively accumulating Ozak AI tokens as the project's presale funding exceeds $6.8 million, signaling strong institutional interest. Analysts view this as strategic, long-term positioning rather than speculative trading, especially as large-cap assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum face growth compression. Ozak AI's presale has sold over 1.05 billion $OZ tokens at $0.014 each, attracting sustained demand from both whales and sophisticated retail investors. The project's AI-native utility, including Prediction Agents and EigenLayer integration, along with associations with Pyth Network and other firms, adds credibility. Market pullbacks are accelerating accumulation, with whales rotating into early-stage AI assets. A projected $1 listing target suggests significant upside potential post-listing.
