When asset management giants like BlackRock hold Bitcoin ETFs and JPMorgan issues bonds on public blockchains, investment portfolios that bridge traditional finance and the crypto world are actively shaping global capital markets.

On April 7, HabitTrade and ChainCatcher will co-host the offline event "Lead the Future: Uniting TradFi & DeFi" in Hong Kong. This event will bring together industry leaders from Web2 and Web3, including representatives from listed companies, asset management firms, financial institutions, exchanges, and payment companies. They will seize this opportunity to discuss the latest trends in financial development, explore market opportunities, and identify avenues for collaboration. HabitTrade aims to leverage this event to engage with industry leaders and initiate a high-level dialogue on reshaping the financial order.

Coinciding with the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, HabitTrade, as a bridge connecting resources across both domains, will facilitate an in-depth discussion on the future of finance in this dedicated sub-venue. Our goal is to foster the deep integration of Web2 and Web3, break down market barriers, and seamlessly connect crypto market liquidity with the traditional financial system. Additionally, we seek to provide a platform for enterprises and individual investors to share their expectations and visions for a borderless financial future.

Who Will Lead This Cross-Border Dialogue?

Guest Host:

l Bing – Investment Manager at Paper Ventures

Roundtable Guests (Sorted Alphabetically):

l Emma – Asset Management Director at SINOHOPE

l George Lai – CFO of The9 Limited

l Hunter – Co-Founder of ChainCatcher

l Kyle Leung – Partner at Everest Ventures Group

l Louis Liu – Founding Partner of Web3Link & TopFund

l Stella – Investment Manager at HashKey Capital

In the ever-evolving global market and regulatory landscape, those who can effectively embrace innovation while ensuring compliance will gain a competitive edge in the financial transformation. HabitTrade has already laid the groundwork for the free flow of assets, but we need every pioneer present to contribute to this vision.

For this event, we have invited top industry leaders to discuss "Traditional Finance and Crypto Finance: Coexistence, Integration, and the Future." We will explore the challenges and breakthroughs in merging traditional and crypto finance and analyze how to build a hybrid architecture that meets both TradFi's regulatory standards and DeFi's transparency.
