The Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026 is set to return to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from April 20 to 23. Co-hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, Asia's premier crypto conference enters its fourth year, expected to draw tens of thousands of global Web3 professionals, investors, and enthusiasts.
Four Core Themes: TradFi Meets Crypto, AI+Web3, and RWAs
This year's agenda zeroes in on three key areas: the convergence of traditional finance and crypto finance, AI+Web3, and real-world assets (RWAs). Under TradFi-crypto convergence, leading global financial institutions will engage crypto-native forces to discuss stablecoins and the rise of a new global payment system. The AI+Web3 track explores how AI evolves from a 'conversational assistant' into autonomous on-chain entities like OpenClaw, with protocols such as x402 and ERC-8004 paving the way for an agent-driven economy. The RWA track, featuring institutions like BlackRock, CICC, and Deloitte China Hong Kong alongside top law firms and securities organizations, will offer practical guidance and a forward-looking landscape for global RWA issuance.
