The Web3 Trust Summit is a tentpole event during Hong Kong FinTech Week, bringing together 300 senior executives to examine the growing role of ‘trust technologies’ in the digital asset ecosystem. Building on our inaugural Summit in 2024, the expanded 2025 Summit will address the applications of trust technologies across five critical infrastructure areas that will strengthen Hong Kong’s role as an International Financial Centre and Global Web3 Hub, following Hong Kong’s Web3 Harbour Blueprint.
The five areas of focus for the 2025 Summit are:
- Stablecoins 
- VATP Exchanges 
- Custody solutions 
- Liquidity and asset management 
- Digital identity 
The Summit will kick-off with special remarks from Guest of Honour Mr. Joseph H.L. Chan, JP, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury. The full agenda will feature five expert sessions that examine the operational challenges and technical requirements for building trusted infrastructure in each of these areas, as well as a fireside chat between Yam Ki Chan, VP APAC of Circle, and Kevin Kang, Co-Founder of Reap.
