Hosted by You Yang, Assistant Professor of Finance at The University of Hong Kong and HKMA CBDC Expert Member, the session will feature a dialogue with Adam, Head of APAC at Solana Foundation, and Qiu Kai, Tencent Cloud Web3 Solutions Architect, to discuss what constitutes "great infrastructure" amidst the Web3 wave. Subsequently, the event moves into a highly speculative roundtable forum. Guided by CoinFound Founder Horace Peng, industry leaders from Asseto, TON Foundation, Antalpha RWA Hub, OneAsset, and DMZ will debate the competition and cooperation between regulated entities and permissionless DeFi, exploring who will lead the next wave of value in on-chain assets. The entire event aims, through this series of high-density intellectual exchanges, to provide a clear and profound annotation for the direction of crypto finance evolution in 2026.

Core Highlights: A Premier Venue for Reshaping Understanding at an Inflection Point of Change

At this historic inflection point where the digital asset industry is accelerating towards institutionalization and compliance, the Crypto Finance Forum aims to present attendees with a top-tier Asian dialogue combining academic rigor and commercial practical value. We go beyond superficial trend discussions, striving to deeply analyze the current panoramic landscape of the crypto world. From new paradigms of stablecoins reconstructing financial infrastructure to the博弈 (game/competition) between traditional giants and native innovation in the RWA 2.0 track, we help you precisely capture the key pulses and macro opportunities of industry evolution amidst complex market noise.

This is even more a feast of ideas that crosses cognitive limits, bringing together authoritative insights from HKU academic experts to Web3 industry leaders. By listening to the deep碰撞 (collision/exchange) between academia and industry, you will gain first-hand knowledge of the latest institutional practice strategies under compliance frameworks and deeply explore leading application cases in the on-chain world. The event is committed to significantly shortening the distance between cutting-edge academic research and real-world institutional implementation, helping attendees reshape decision-making logic through multi-dimensional perspectives and seize future opportunities amidst rapidly changing financial transformations.

Conclusion

On February 12, 2026, let us meet at The University of Hong Kong and join this top-tier gathering that redefines the boundaries of crypto finance. Co-hosted by the powerful alliance of WLFI, Bakkt, HKU Business School Executive Education, and ME Group, this forum is not only a cross-border dialogue connecting Eastern and Western capital and academic wisdom but also a deep restructuring of the Web3 industry landscape in the new era of compliance. From the underlying logic of stablecoins to the ultimate博弈 (game/contest) of RWA 2.0, we look forward to joining you in decoding the next golden decade of digital assets amidst the waves of change.

Arbitrum Pretends to Be the Hacker, 'Steals' Back the Money Lost by KelpDAO

Title: Arbitrum Poses as Hacker to Recover Stolen Funds from KelpDAO Last week, KelpDAO suffered a hack resulting in nearly $300 million in losses, marking the largest DeFi security incident this year. Approximately 30,765 ETH (worth over $70 million) remained on an Arbitrum address controlled by the attacker. In an unprecedented move, Arbitrum’s Security Council utilized its emergency authority to upgrade the Inbox bridge contract, adding a function that allowed them to impersonate the hacker’s address and initiate a transfer without access to its private key. The council’s action, approved by 9 of its 12 members, moved the stolen ETH to a frozen address in a single transaction before reverting the contract to its original state. The operation was coordinated with law enforcement, which attributed the attack to North Korea’s Lazarus Group. Community reactions are divided: some praise the recovery of funds, while others question the centralization of power, as the council can upgrade core contracts without governance votes. However, such emergency mechanisms are common among major L2s. Despite the partial recovery, over $292 million was stolen in total, with more than $100 million in bad debt on Aave and remaining funds scattered across other chains. The incident highlights escalating security challenges in DeFi, with state-sponsored hackers employing advanced tactics and L2s responding with elevated countermeasures.

iQiyi Is Too Impatient

The article "iQiyi Is Too Impatient" discusses the controversy surrounding the Chinese streaming platform IQiyi's recent announcement of an "AI Actor Library" during its 2026 World Conference. IQiyi claimed over 100 actors, including well-known names like Zhang Ruoyun and Yu Hewei, had joined the initiative. CEO Gong Yu suggested AI could enable actors to "star in 14 dramas a year instead of 4" and that "live-action filming might become a world cultural heritage." The announcement quickly sparked backlash. Multiple actors named in the list issued urgent statements denying they had signed any AI-related authorization agreements. This forced IQiyi to clarify that inclusion in the library only indicated a willingness to *consider* AI projects, with separate negotiations required for any specific role. The incident, which trended on social media with hashtags like "IQiyi is crazy," is presented as a sign of the company's growing desperation. Facing intense competition from short-video platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou, as well as Bilibili and Xiaohongshu, IQiyi's financial performance has weakened, with revenues declining for two consecutive years. The author argues that IQiyi is "too impatient" to tell a compelling AI story to reassure the market, especially as it pursues a listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange. The piece concludes by outlining three key "AI questions" IQiyi must answer: defining its role as a tool provider versus a content creator, balancing the "coldness" of AI with the human element audiences desire, and properly managing the interests of platforms, actors, and viewers. The core dilemma is that while AI can reduce costs and increase efficiency, it risks creating homogenized, formulaic content and devaluing human performers.

Jensen Huang Publicly Challenges Google and Amazon, Is the Chip Business Entirely Sustained by Anthropic?

In a candid interview, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang challenged competitors like Google and Amazon, admitted past strategic errors, and criticized U.S. export controls on AI chips. He framed Nvidia’s role as turning “electricity in, tokens out,” emphasizing the complexity and value of AI inference. Huang dismissed rival custom chips like Google’s TPU and Amazon’s Trainium as inflexible and niche, claiming their growth relies heavily on clients like Anthropic. He also acknowledged missing early investment opportunities in OpenAI and Anthropic. On China, Huang warned that export restrictions risk pushing the country toward self-sufficiency and could cost U.S. leadership in AI. Finally, he explained Nvidia’s acquisition of Groq as a move to serve premium, low-latency token markets. Throughout, Huang emphasized ecosystem trust and Nvidia’s central role in global AI infrastructure.

ARK's SpaceX IPO Investment Guide: $1.75 Trillion Valuation, 95x Price-to-Sales Ratio, Where Is the Money Going?

ARK Invest, a major investor in SpaceX, provides an analysis following SpaceX's confidential IPO filing on April 1, 2026, targeting a $1.75 trillion valuation and up to $75 billion in funding for a Nasdaq listing around June 2026. This would be the largest IPO in history. The valuation implies a price-to-sales ratio of ~95x based on ~$18.5B in projected 2025 revenue. ARK argues this reflects future potential, not current reality. Key drivers include Starlink, with over 10M users and $20B+ in 2026 revenue, launch services which have reduced costs by ~95% since 2008, and the strategic merger with xAI in February 2026, enabling vertically integrated AI and orbital computing. ARK’s investment thesis is based on SpaceX's proven execution of ambitious goals, like reusable rockets and global satellite internet. The firm notes that significant value creation often occurs pre-IPO, and its Venture Fund offers exposure to SpaceX’s earlier private stages. Post-IPO, the fund will manage the position per standard lock-up and rebalancing processes, maintaining flexibility to reinvest in other private innovations. The analysis is based on public estimates and ARK research; the S-1 filing is not yet public. This is not investment advice.
