During the Keynote session, four distinguished guests from the blockchain industry shared their insights and experiences.

Wayne Lin, Founder and Managing Partner of Axia8 Ventures, delivered a keynote speech on "Validation and Authentication." He raised questions about the true purpose and value of cryptocurrency assets, emphasizing some of the pressing issues facing the crypto industry, including the lack of real-use cases and the need for greater attention to compliance and regulatory oversight. Wayne Lin initiated a discussion on the relationship between global universal income and cryptocurrency utility, highlighting the potential uses of cryptocurrencies in impoverished regions and areas with a demand for stable currencies.

Tony Tang, CEO, and Founder of Ink Finance, in his talk titled "Practical Approach to Scaling RWA with Ink Finance," posed the central question of "What is a true RWA that can scale the blockchain?" He elaborated on deep reflections on Web3 applications and the vision of Ink Finance. Tony Tang shared the origins of the Ink Finance project and described how they utilize the protocol to comply with different regulatory regimes and KYC requirements. These solutions make blockchain technology more adaptable to meet the needs of different scenarios, helping institutions like exchanges, defi protocols, and digital asset managers to cope with disclosure and risk management more effectively and achieve scalability. His talk underscores the importance of seeking innovative solutions in the blockchain space to adopt mass web2 users and embrace abundante RWAs.

William Guo, CEO, and Founder of PlayEstates, in his speech titled "PlayEstates--Bridging the Real World into the Digital," emphasized the need to focus on the real value and sustainability of digital assets to ensure the long-term development and prosperity of the digital world. He shared his personal background and experiences, explaining how his past investments in digital assets suffered devaluation and losses due to a lack of real-world value. This prompted him to contemplate how to organically integrate physical assets with digital assets to give them true intrinsic value. In his presentation, William Guo provided a detailed overview of the development journey of the PlayEstates project. He proposed tokenizing real estate assets and combining them with smart contracts to broaden the ownership of physical assets among various types of investors, catering to diverse needs. This highlighted PlayEstates' mission and vision as a platform bridging the real world with the digital world.

Echo, Co-founder of SEER, discussed the theme "SEER - Make Encounters More Valuable," showcasing its enterprise vision of making social interactions more valuable. Through a decentralized social DID system, SEER has built a system that DID-labels users based on their asset behavior and identity, forming social data rankings. These rankings enable precise matching of advertisers' needs, leading to more precise commercial relationships. Overall, SEER encompasses functions such as payments, social interactions, collaboration, advertising, and developer ecosystems. It is dedicated to creating a value-based social platform that meets the needs of users and advertisers while safeguarding users' assets and information security.

The roundtable session centered on the theme "Regulatory Storm: How the Cryptocurrency Industry Responds to Development." It revolved around three core topics: "Global Regulatory Changes in Web3 Virtual Asset Policies and Their Impact," "Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of the RWA Track," and "Potential Conditions for the Next Bull Market and the Impact of Market Changes on Entrepreneurial Strategies." The roundtable discussion was moderated by Zoe Peng, Partner at Axia8 Ventures, and featured five influential guests from the blockchain field: David Uhryniak, Ecosystem Development Lead at TRON DAO; Yves La Rose, CEO of EOS Network Foundation; Tom Tirman, CEO of Parsiq and IQ Protocol; Heslin Kim, Head of Growth and Ecosystem at Republic Crypto; and Wayne Lin, Founder and Managing Partner of Axia8 Ventures.

Addressing the issue of "Global Regulatory Changes in Web3 Virtual Asset Policies and Their Impact," David Uhryniak noted that current regulations mainly focus on enterprises and commercial companies. However, this emphasis may limit the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies among consumers. Many consumers may still view cryptocurrencies as illegal or high-risk assets, resulting in low acceptance. He believed that if countries like the United States could more widely recognize cryptocurrencies, especially gaining approval in capital markets, it would help drive market development and attract more investment and consumers. Furthermore, there is a growing demand among consumers worldwide for cryptocurrencies as a means of payment, gradually becoming a form of mainstream corporate payment. David Uhryniak predicted that in the future, Western countries would also gradually accept cryptocurrencies, promoting their broader adoption among consumers.

Wayne Lin, on the other hand, believed that regulations are not inherently good or bad; they are simply a set of rules, with the government's goal being to ensure that the nation's wealth and resources are not illegally transferred. Regulations typically focus on enterprises because they determine how assets are used by end-users. Regulation is necessary, providing a framework for competition and cooperation for businesses and individuals, defining boundaries and rules that help maintain the industry's healthy growth. Therefore, regulation can be seen as a beneficial supplement to the industry, promoting sustainability.

Regarding "Challenges and Opportunities in the Development of the RWA Track," Heslin Kim expressed the view that the future digital asset market would be primarily dominated by institutions, especially in cases involving security. He pointed out that digital currencies and Web 3.0 are not just sandboxes for individuals to play in but will also be applied in the corporate and institutional domains. For non-security assets like precious metals and commodities, there is potential for them to be digitized and traded by retail investors. However, when it comes to assets that could be considered securities, they need to comply with regulations and guidelines. Therefore, the future development of the digital asset market will be influenced by legal regulations, and institutions will play a crucial role. Some entities have already begun exploring the application of blockchain technology in the asset field, indicating the immense potential of the digital asset market. However, more understanding of the legal and market conditions in this field is required.

Yves La Rose mentioned the three main challenges facing RWA: legal and regulatory challenges, technological challenges, and market challenges. Regarding legal and regulatory challenges, he pointed out differences in regulations and standards among different countries and the need to establish a cross-border framework to support RWA's development. Concerning technological challenges, he mentioned the ongoing lack of necessary infrastructure and the need for more underlying technological support. As for market challenges, he believed that traditional asset markets are relatively efficient, and there is a need to lower entry barriers and provide more added value to attract people to invest in emerging asset classes. These challenges need to be overcome to drive RWA's development.

Regarding "Potential Conditions for the Next Bull Market and the Impact of Market Changes on Entrepreneurial Strategies," Tom Tirman believed that despite the volatility of the crypto market in recent years, there are still positive aspects. He thought that while the market may fluctuate, there is still capital that can flow into the market, presenting opportunities for new upward trends. He mentioned some factors that might affect the market, including Bitcoin halving, macroeconomic factors, and the U.S. presidential election. He believed that these factors could act as catalysts, driving the market in a more positive direction. He also emphasized the importance of the United States in the crypto market, suggesting that changes in U.S. regulations and policies could have a significant impact on the market.

In this insightful roundtable discussion, the guests delved deep into the regulatory challenges and future prospects of the crypto industry. They focused on the continuous evolution of global regulatory policies regarding Web3 virtual assets and the potential impact of these policy changes on the industry. Moreover, the guests provided unique insights into the various challenges and opportunities faced by the RWA track, highlighting key issues across multiple aspects, including legal, technological, and market-related challenges. They also conducted a thorough analysis of the potential conditions for the next bull market and the dynamics of the market, offering essential insights for entrepreneurial strategies. The guests' perspectives and insights have spurred deeper reflections on the future development of the crypto industry, fostering a profound understanding of regulatory challenges and opportunities. Additionally, they provided critical insights for entrepreneurs in shaping their strategies.

Finally, during the social networking segment of the event, attendees enjoyed a violin solo performance by a Singaporean violinist. Amidst the beautiful music, participants engaged in conversations, sharing their insights and thoughts gained during the event. Furthermore, the event offered complimentary beverages, exquisite desserts, and delicate souvenirs, enhancing the attendees' social experience. The event concluded with joy and fruitful interactions.
