Wanxiang Group Chairman: The "1995 Moment" of Blockchain Application is Coming

Vice Chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Wanxiang Group, Lu Weiding, gave a speech at the opening ceremony of the Web3 Carnival in Hong Kong, stating that this year's second Web3 Carnival will continue the effect of last year. According to incomplete statistics, in addition to the main venue activities, there have been more than 150 peripheral activities. There are also new features: first, it has a more representative global presence, with more major WEB3 projects from Europe and the United States attending than last year; second, the topics of blockchain infrastructure and blockchain application protocols are almost equally discussed, and we can clearly feel the wave of blockchain applications coming. Compared with the beginning of Internet applications in 1995, the "1995 moment" of blockchain applications is coming. The next ten years will be the core moment of the explosion and value discovery of blockchain and WEB3 applications.

At this moment, it is not only the best time for Hong Kong's economic development to shift from governance to prosperity, but also the best time for the innovative development of the global virtual asset industry.

  • Uniswap founder: Founders and VCs need to stop valuing startups and pre-coin crypto projects at more than $1 billion

    Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on social media that cryptocurrency founders and venture capitalists need to stop valuing projects at over $1 billion in the early stages of development and before tokens have been released, until they are truly worth that valuation. Building something worth 7-9 figures is an incredible achievement, and not every project needs to be a unicorn at launch. Additionally, Hayden Adams said, perhaps it's naive, but I think raising funds as a founder at a fair valuation (real talent wants upside) and investing at a fair valuation as a VC (LPs want upside) can make more money. It's just harder to do it that way.

  • Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested that Hong Kong refer to IPO to provide innovative financing models for Web3

    Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, wrote an article in the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po titled "Leading the Digital Economy by Adapting to the Web3 Trend". The article pointed out that developing Web3+ has both advantages and new challenges. The Hong Kong government has taken an important step in the direction of developing Web3 and the digital economy by formulating a short- to medium-term strategic development blueprint, ensuring that policies and resources are in place, and promoting the construction of Web3+ application scenarios. Focusing on Web3, establishing an international innovation financing platform can not only help Hong Kong leverage its traditional financial advantages, but also help it become a global digital technology center. It is suggested to refer to the mature mode of existing enterprises' IPOs in Hong Kong, provide an innovative financing model for Web3, and create a market trend and service competitive advantage to promote the development of the industry and attract upstream and downstream of the industry chain at home and abroad to gather in Hong Kong.
