HKU x MetaEra: CryptoFi Forum 2025
On August 27, The University of Hong Kong was thrilled to host the “CryptoFi Forum 2025”. Prof. Hongbin Cai, Dean of HKU Business School, opened the event by emphasising the importance of balancing regulation with growth in the evolving Web 3.0 landscape. He further underscored that Hong Kong’s Web 3.0 strategy should align with national priorities while seizing new opportunities in the global fintech race.
A highlight of the forum was the dynamic exchange between Prof. Chen Lin, Chair of Finance and Vice-President and Pro-Vice-Chancellor of The University of Hong Kong, and Mr. Changpeng Zhao, Founder of Binance. Their discussion sparked vibrant audience engagement as they explored stablecoins, Real-World Asset tokenisation, and the future of exchanges. Mr. Zhao described this moment as a golden opportunity for Hong Kong to take bold steps in advancing crypto finance.
We were also delighted to have Dr. Jack Jiangping Kong, Director of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited and Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Nano Labs, Ms. Jessica Yang, CEO of MetaEra, Dr. Ming Li, the Executive Chairman of the Hong Kong Web 3.0 Standardization Association, along with other speakers sharing their views on Web 3.0 development.
Thank you to all our esteemed speakers!
