On November 2, 2025, the "2025 Hong Kong Digital Asset Forum," initiated by SNZ Holding and co-hosted with the Web3 Innovation Hub, was successfully held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Hong Kong. Additionally, the forum was co-organized by the Ethereum Foundation, Futu, HashKey Group, Almad Group, Canopy, and Finoverse, and received strong support from various organizations including OASES (Office for Introducing Key Enterprises), Cyberport, HCFA (Hong Kong China Financial Association), HKDAS (Hong Kong Digital Asset Association), and HKVCA (Hong Kong Venture Capital and Private Equity Association).

This forum created a high-quality communication platform for global digital asset professionals, attracting over 300 top professionals from the digital asset field, including senior representatives from government organizations, institutional investment, family offices, traditional finance, technology companies, and blockchain innovation projects. Participants discussed industry trends and explored future development opportunities.

Gathering of Elites, Discussing a New Future

The forum was honored to invite Mr. Chan Ho-lam, Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, to deliver the opening speech. He systematically reviewed the key progress Hong Kong has made in building the Web3 and digital asset ecosystem, and prospectively outlined future development paths and regulatory ideas, while also expressing earnest expectations for the industry. This set the overall tone of the forum as "developing within regulation and standardizing within innovation." Additionally, Tomasz Stańczak, Co-Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, was invited to present on "Ethereum's Goals for 2026 and Milestones in Asia," envisioning the development blueprint for Ethereum and blockchain technology in Asia under Hong Kong's geographical and policy advantages.

The guests provided attendees with a feast of ideas on various key dimensions of the digital asset ecosystem, such as institutional-level infrastructure construction, compliance path exploration, new trends in stablecoins and global payments, the integration of traditional finance and decentralized finance, real-world asset tokenization practices, and the latest evolution of the Ethereum ecosystem.

This forum also aims to serve as an important catalyst connecting the digital asset and traditional financial worlds, injecting new momentum into the evolution of Hong Kong's integrated financial ecosystem through pragmatic dialogue, and promoting understanding and collaboration between traditional finance and the crypto industry.

Ethereum HK Hub Unveiling, Building a New Ecological Cornerstone

The forum also welcomed a highly anticipated highlight: Hong Kong Legislative Council member (Technology and Innovation Sector) Mr. Yiu Pak-leung, Ethereum Foundation Co-Executive Director Tomasz Stańczak, SNZ Holding CEO Shi Haihua, and Chief Investment Officer Wang Keyi jointly unveiled the Ethereum HK Hub, with many representatives from ecological partners witnessing this milestone moment.

The center was initiated by SNZ and supported by the Ethereum Foundation's ETH Everywhere team, planned to be located at New World Town Hall, and will be jointly operated by SNZ and ETHTao. Currently, dozens of well-known institutions and ecological partners are actively participating, covering various fields such as venture capital, technology infrastructure, developer communities, and cultural innovation, collectively building a complete and active ecological support network.

The Ethereum HK Hub will focus on building an important bridge connecting the global Ethereum ecosystem with the Asian market, providing comprehensive support for developers, entrepreneurial teams, and professional institutions, with a focus on promoting innovative practices and industrial applications of Ethereum's core technology. The establishment of this important infrastructure not only injects new vitality into Hong Kong's Web3 ecosystem but also strongly consolidates Hong Kong's core position as a global digital asset hub.

The completion of the Ethereum HK Hub marks that Hong Kong's strategic layout in the Web3 field has entered a substantial advancement stage, and a more prosperous and interconnected new digital financial landscape is unfolding here. As global resources continue to converge and innovative forces grow, Hong Kong is becoming a core force leading the next generation of internet transformation with its unique geographical advantages and comprehensive ecological foundation.
