HabitTrade Summit - Lead the Future: Uniting TradFi & DeFi

Validated Project

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.

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion. However, services revenue—a key driver of its valuation re-rating in recent years—totaled $30.74 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $31.36 billion. Additionally, Greater China revenue reached $18.82 billion, with year-over-year growth slowing to 22%, also below analysts' forecast of $19.58 billion. During the earnings call, Apple guided fourth-fiscal-quarter revenue growth in the range of 9% to 11%, overall below the 12.1% analysts had expected. CFO Parekh noted that component supply constraints would impact iPhone, Mac, and iPad businesses in the fourth fiscal quarter, with currency fluctuations also constraining growth.

  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
