On March 7, the inaugural White House Crypto Summit concluded in the scorching spotlight of the Bit currency industry. This highly anticipated conference did not release any substantive policy signals. As for Hong Kong, China, which has clearly supported the development of virtual assets and has been steadily implementing various policies for more than two years, will it release more positive news in the next step? From April 6 to 9, the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival will ignite a new torch for the digital revolution in Asia. This is not only a barometer of policy trends, but also a strategic high ground for defining the future of Web3 in the next decade.
