TechFlow news, on June 18, at the HashKey Exchange "New Horizons Series: Episode 4 Salon" held in Hong Kong today, Dr. Xiao Feng, Chairman and CEO of HashKey Group, delivered an opening speech sharing deep insights into the evolutionary trends of the virtual asset industry. He pointed out that the virtual asset industry has entered the second growth curve phase, with the industry focus shifting from "digital native," represented by Bitcoin, to "digital twin," represented by stablecoins and asset tokenization.
"Digital twin is the greatest innovation of distributed ledger technology, and stablecoins and asset tokenization are the two most representative forms," he said. Stablecoins, in essence, are tokenized money possessing both legal and technical attributes, representing the "optimal currency" created so far, and will become a crucial component of the future global financial system. In this process, compliant exchanges like HashKey Exchange, equipped with fundamental capabilities such as regulatory compliance, asset custody, clearing, and settlement, are naturally suited to facilitate the implementation of digital twin applications and will become hubs for global virtual assets.
This salon, themed "Hong Kong Web3 2.0—Standing at the Starting Point of the Second Growth Curve," attracted experts and scholars from various fields including regulation, academia, and industry, who engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as "How stablecoins can reshape global financial infrastructure" and "Innovative scenarios of virtual assets in wealth management and immigration planning."
Through its "New Horizons" series of salons, HashKey Exchange will continue promoting industrial exchange and trend analysis, inviting experts from all sectors to jointly advance Hong Kong's virtual asset industry into a new stage—from regulatory refinement to application innovation—and drive the construction of a globally competitive virtual asset market.
