The Campus Web3 Talks hosted by iPollo and BitMart successfully debuted at Stanford University on May 4. Organized by the Stanford Blockchain Club, featuring industry leaders and experts from Nano Labs, Activision Blizzard, and Cipholio Ventures, the event attracted more than 150 students and crypto enthusiasts.

The event started with a keynote by Jack Kong, Chairman & CEO of Nano Labs, who discussed the development of AI and Web3 building. He explored the advantages of AI, including AIGC, the infinite generation and expansion of scenes, and the AR Metaverse. As AI applications are booming unprecedentedly, he emphasized that it's the perfect timing to build Web3 with the combination of AI and blockchain. Kong also spoke about the iPollo platform, which makes Web3 application adventure more accessible by providing computing power, communication, concurrency, blockchain, and a tech ecosystem. He also presented the three laws of Web3 and the four stages of Web3 development, encouraging young entrepreneurs that "You are not a loser unless you quit."

The event also featured a panel discussion with other industry experts, including Marvin Kong, Chief Scientist at iPollo; Kaimin Hu, Chief Business Officer at BitMart; Michael Lee, VP of Activision Blizzard; Kun Peng, Founder of Stanford Blockchain Accelerator, and Lee Fan, Partner of Cipholio Ventures. The panelists shared valuable insights about the fast growth of the Web3 ecosystem this year, the VC's positive perspective on Web3 development and future potentials, advice for school graduates engaging with the Web3 industry, and the forecast of Web3 in the next 3-5 years.

Last, the Q&A session with the speakers and the pizza social allowed attendees to network and gain further insights into the Web3 and blockchain industry. The seminar provided cutting-edge information on various topics with tremendous implications in Web3 and Metaverse.

  • The Bank of Japan is reportedly planning further interest rate hikes; some officials believe the neutral interest rate will be higher than 1%.

    according to insiders, Bank of Japan officials believe that before the current rate hike cycle ends, interest rates are likely to rise above 0.75%, indicating that there may be more rate hikes after next week's increase. These insiders said that officials believe that even if rates rise to 0.75%, the Bank of Japan has not yet reached the neutral interest rate level. Some officials already consider 1% to still be below the neutral interest rate level. Insiders stated that even if the Bank of Japan updates its neutral rate estimates based on the latest data, it currently does not believe that this range will significantly narrow. Currently, the Bank of Japan's estimate for the nominal neutral interest rate range is about 1% to 2.5%. Insiders said that Bank of Japan officials also believe there may be errors in the upper and lower limits of this range itself. (Golden Ten)

"We believe the FOMC will keep the federal funds rate target range unchanged at 3.50%-3.75% throughout 2026 and 2027, but as the economy evolves, as in the past, it is always necessary to pay close attention to the significant two-way risks facing this outlook."
