The CryptoFi Forum (Crypto Finance Forum), co-hosted by WLFI, Bakkt, HKU School of Economics and Management, and ME Group, aims to create a high-end dialogue platform connecting East and West, academic research and business practices, traditional finance and the crypto industry. Guided by the vision of “decoding cryptocurrencies and reshaping the future of finance”, the forum will systematically sort out the evolutionary path of crypto finance and explore in depth institutional opportunities and emerging technology paradigms within a compliance framework to provide forward-looking insight into the future of the global financial system.

The forum will be held through multiple strategic dialogues. Guests include Zak Folkman, Chase Herro and Ryan Fang from the WLFI team, Nicholas Baes, Bakkt's Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Xiao Feng of HashKey Group, Professor Wang Yang, Vice President (University Development) and Chair Professor of the University of Hong Kong, Jack Kong, Director of Hong Kong Cyberport and CEO of Nano Labs, and Jessica Kong, CEO of ME Group Ms. Yang. The forum agenda will focus on three core topics: the current industrial landscape of the crypto world, the latest institutional-level practices in traditional finance, and cutting-edge applications in the on-chain world.
