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!

加密IPO寒冬:Consensys与Ledger集体撤单

2026年加密行业IPO热潮明显降温。5月中旬,头部企业MetaMask开发商Consensys将其IPO计划推迟至最早今年秋季,而硬件钱包巨头Ledger也已暂停其美国上市计划。此前,交易所Kraken的上市进程同样放缓。这与2025年加密公司上市火热、融资额巨大的景象形成鲜明对比。 导致这一转变的原因是多方面的。首先,市场环境恶化:比特币价格在2026年大幅回调,交易量下滑,投资者风险偏好降低。2025年上市的加密股(如Circle、Bullish)及2026年初上市的BitGo,股价均经历显著下跌,加剧了市场对新上市加密资产的谨慎态度。其次,板块资金分流:当前资本市场高度聚焦人工智能(AI)领域,SpaceX、OpenAI等万亿美元级估值的AI公司正吸引大量长期资本,相比之下,加密公司收入与比特币价格强绑定,波动性大,叙事吸引力减弱。 面对挑战,加密企业战略更趋务实。部分公司转向私募融资或专注于优化产品、拓展机构服务等,以夯实基本面和现金流,等待更好的市场窗口。行业可能因此加速优胜劣汰,资源向合规扎实、基础设施强的企业集中,推动行业从故事驱动向业绩驱动转型。分析认为,若比特币价格能稳定回升至较高区间,且监管环境进一步明确,2026年下半年可能迎来新的IPO机会。

ChatGPT 能替你管钱了,你敢把银行账户交给它吗?

OpenAI于5月15日面向美国ChatGPT Pro用户推出个人理财工具预览功能。用户可通过金融数据服务商Plaid连接银行、投资等账户,授权后ChatGPT可读取余额、交易记录、投资组合等数据,并生成可视化财务仪表盘。用户能以自然语言对话形式进行消费分析、制定购房计划等个性化财务咨询,实现“对话式理财”。 此举是OpenAI战略布局的一部分,此前其已收购个人理财应用Roi和Hiro Finance,并推出健康管理功能,旨在将ChatGPT打造为覆盖高价值决策场景的“超级助手”。然而,功能发布后引发广泛隐私担忧。近期OpenAI正因涉嫌未经同意共享用户聊天数据给Meta和Google而被集体诉讼,此时推出需连接敏感财务数据的产品,加剧了用户对数据安全的顾虑。OpenAI强调该功能仅具数据读取权限,且断开连接后数据将在30天内删除,但用户数据仍可能用于模型训练的选项引发了进一步讨论。 当前AI行业正从通用聊天机器人转向垂直领域深耕。除OpenAI外,Anthropic、Perplexity等公司也纷纷推出面向金融B端或C端的专业工具,争夺高价值数据入口。尽管产品层面设计了安全措施,但AI理财工具在法律上不承担财务顾问责任,其“幻觉”风险与隐私信任问题,是用户是否愿意接纳的关键。这标志着AI正深入个人核心决策领域,也将信任与安全议题推至前台。
