The Chain Intelligence Forum hosted by Draper Dragon - Hong Kong Linking the Future Summit ended successfully

On April 9, 2025, the ChainIntellect Symposium: Future Nexus @HK was grandly held at the Golden Century Center Phase II in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. The event was hosted by Draper Dragon and ICP Hub China, co-organized by RClub DAO, RWAI DAO, Linka Mobile, and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics Entrepreneurship and Investment Alumni Association RWAI. As an important part of the Wanxiang Blockchain Web3 Festival, the symposium gathered industry pioneers, investors, and innovators to explore the infinite possibilities brought by the integration of artificial intelligence, Web3 technology, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. At the beginning of the conference, Mr. Tang Yi, Vice President of the Hong Kong Blockchain Association, brought the event to a climax. He provided an in-depth interpretation of Web3 development strategies under global compliance trends and Hong Kong's virtual asset development policies, and introduced RWA, the Hong Kong Blockchain Association, and Com2000. Next, Dr. Yu Jianing provided an in-depth analysis of Web3's key trends in 2025. Dr. Yu holds multiple titles, including President of Uweb Business School, Co-Chairman of the Blockchain Committee of the China Communications Industry Association, Honorary Chairman of the Hong Kong Blockchain Association, Director of the Hong Kong Registered Digital Asset Analyst Association, and former President of Huoda. Dr. Yu first analyzed major Web3.0 industry events in 2024, then examined the underlying logic of this round of Web3 narrative, presenting a two-way integration of the real world (mainstream finance) and the digital world (digital finance). He proposed nine trends for the Web3 industry in 2025, including the dual driving force of a crypto-friendly atmosphere promoted by the Trump administration and gradually relaxed monetary policies, accelerated institutional adoption of Bitcoin, and the role of reserve assets becoming the core driver of price growth. Finally, he introduced Uweb and the Uweb Future Wealth Course. After Dr. Yu's presentation, Chu Xiahu delivered a speech titled "Blockchain Bull and Bear Revelation". As the founder of Metaverse Foundation, an angel investor in Ethereum, and a lifetime member of the Bitcoin Foundation, Chu analyzed investment logic from the perspective of investing in primary or secondary markets, proposing the investment logic: "Buy where no one asks, sell when the crowd is clamoring". Chu conducted a time-series analysis of the investment market, believing that 2021-2023 was a period of transition from primary to secondary markets, with enormous primary market opportunities in 2025-2026. After 2026, incubation, primary, secondary, PE, and hedge funds would develop comprehensively. He then compared the investment tracks of the internet and AI industries, questioning infrastructure, public chains, Layer 2, exchanges, DEX, DeFi, data, games, metaverse, applications, MEME, or RWA. Finally, Chu reiterated his investment philosophy: in blockchain investment, one cannot follow the crowd or go where most people are. One must have independent insights into the industry and market fluctuations. Most people are often wrong, so "where many people are, I will not go".

After the roundtable, Mr. Liu Honglin, founder of Mankun Law Firm focusing on blockchain business, elaborated on the compliance path of blockchain with the theme "Ice and Fire - Opportunities and Legal Regulation in the Web3.0 Era". Lawyer Liu Honglin has over 10 years of legal internet entrepreneurship experience, was previously the vice president of legal technology at Tencent Investment, has served over 100 Web3 projects, published the "Legal Industry Blockchain 2020 Annual Report", and authored "The Twilight of Corporate System: Blockchain Thinking and Digital Incentives".

Lawyer Liu Honglin first analyzed the crypto market overview, with crypto asset market value at $3.7 trillion, and currently 74 listed companies holding over $55 billion in BTC. He then interpreted the regulatory routes of Mainland China and Hong Kong, pointing out: "Project parties are often not suspected of illegal activities because they issued coins." The legal risks of blockchain projects mainly stem from business risks, so prevention should focus on business aspects. From this perspective, blockchain project risks include operational qualification risks, financial risks, market promotion risks, criminal risks, business partner risks, and data compliance risks. Finally, Liu Honglin highlighted Mankun Law Firm's business philosophy: "Ensure Web3 occurs legally in China!"

At the event's conclusion, the DFinity ecosystem roundtable was hosted by Herbert Yang, DFinity Foundation's Asia-Pacific Regional Manager, who conducted an excellent interview with project representatives from azen, enreach, piggycell, multiple network, and datagram.

The conference lasted five hours, with over 400 audience members. The summit focused on the integration and innovation of artificial intelligence, Web3 technology, and real-world asset tokenization (RWA), showcasing the combination of blockchain cognitive architecture with neural symbolic AI and the autonomous evolution capability of smart contracts. The summit actively promotes digital transformation of a trillion-dollar market and emphasizes Hong Kong's crucial hub position in connecting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with the global Web3 compliant corridor. Additionally, the summit deeply explored cutting-edge technologies and applications such as smart contracts, cross-chain collaboration, governance mechanisms, RWA reconstruction, and trusted machine economy, promoting deep integration of AI and blockchain and industry ecosystem development.

The summit was hosted by Ms. Cheryl Yang, a partner at Eternal Capital Venture and vice president of the Hong Kong Blockchain Association.
