As cryptocurrencies and traditional finance become deeply integrated, the Crypto Finance Forum will be grandly opened at the University of Hong Kong on February 12, 2026.
The CryptoFi Forum, jointly organized by WLFI, Bakkt, HKU School of Management Executive Education, and ME Group, aims to create a high-level dialogue platform connecting East and West, academic research and business practice, and traditional finance and the crypto industry. Guided by the vision of "Decoding Cryptocurrencies, Reshaping the Future of Finance," this forum will systematically review the evolution of crypto finance and, within a compliant framework, delve into institutional opportunities and emerging technological paradigms, providing forward-looking insights into the future of the global financial system.
The forum will feature multiple strategic dialogues, with guests including Zak Folkman, Chase Herro, and Ryan Fang from the WLFI team; Nicholas Baes, COO of Bakkt; Dr. Xiao Feng from HashKey Group; Professor Wang Yang, Vice-Chancellor (University Extension) and Chair Professor at the University of Hong Kong; Jack Kong, Director of Hong Kong Cyberport and CEO of Nano Labs; and Ms. Jessica Yang, CEO of ME Group. The forum agenda will focus on three core themes: the current industry landscape of the crypto world, the latest institutional-level practices in traditional finance, and cutting-edge applications in the on-chain world.
In addition, we would like to thank our strategic partners Nano Labs Ltd (Nasdaq: NA) and CoinFound; and our media partners Foresight News, Odaily, Jinse Finance, PANews, Bitpush, and Caihua News Agency for their strong support.
