On April 7, 2025, a grand gathering of Web3 industry elites—"LEAP NIGHT 2025 – Conflux Digital Finance Night"—successfully concluded during the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025. The event was jointly presented by Conflux Network and PANews, with dForce and PANONY as co-organizers, and ecological partners including Ant Group, AnchorX, Swappi, Meson, BitUnion, ABC Pool, Polyflow, PHX Pool, BlockBooster, SHUI, and others.

The event attracted Web3 industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, developers, and international media representatives from around the world, who gathered to discuss cutting-edge topics such as Real World Assets (RWA), regulatory technology, Layer 1 public chain ecosystems, and artificial intelligence.

Conflux's Three Strategic Directions: RWA, Stablecoins, and Payments

As the host of the event, Zhang Yuanjie, co-founder of Conflux, elaborated on the three major development directions that Conflux is currently focusing on from the perspective of a blockchain infrastructure builder.

Zhang Yuanjie pointed out that RWA has always been a focal point of the industry, but asset tokenization often faces liquidity issues, which prevents it from fully realizing its financing functions. To address this pain point, Conflux has partnered with Ant Group to launch a green electricity battery swap project, planning to put an asset package worth approximately 3 million USD on-chain for refinancing. "We hope that after the project's success, we can expand to more RWA targets, whether they are new types of assets or larger asset packages, leveraging the liquidity of the blockchain and crypto industry to solve investment issues for the real economy in Hong Kong and mainland China," Zhang Yuanjie stated.

As the world's largest importer and exporter, China has a significant gap with the United States in the field of digital currency. Zhang Yuanjie mentioned that the issuance of USD stablecoins has reached 220 billion USD, while the issuance of Hong Kong dollars and offshore RMB remains zero, indicating a huge market opportunity. Conflux is committed to becoming the infrastructure track for RMB stablecoins, creating an ecosystem for the issuance, distribution, and application scenarios of stablecoins. Currently, they are negotiating cooperation with the world's largest stablecoin issuers and have co-incubated an offshore RMB project with Hony Capital, which has already obtained a license in Kazakhstan.

To address the difficulties faced by industry practitioners in daily payments, Conflux is helping users apply crypto assets to everyday life payments through partnerships with payment networks like UnionPay and VISA. "In addition to payments, we also plan to offer wealth management services, similar to the Yu'e Bao model of Alipay," Zhang Yuanjie explained. "The returns from these wealth management products come partly from blockchain's intrinsic earnings and partly from underlying assets in traditional industries, such as the previously mentioned battery swap project, and may expand to areas like photovoltaics and real estate loans in the future."

dForce's DeFi Innovation Exploration

Additionally, dForce founder Yang Mindao shared his industry observations and company strategy since entering the space in 2013. As an early DeFi project, dForce initially focused on lending protocols and later expanded into stablecoins and trading, covering almost all DeFi tracks.

Yang Mindao emphasized the importance of on-chain RWA assets and liquidity provision. "In the past few cycles, the crypto market has been mainly dominated by native assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but the sources of returns for these assets are relatively limited. On-chaining a large number of physical assets can not only provide a more sustainable source of returns for the entire crypto ecosystem but also attract and retain non-crypto users." He predicts that RWA as an asset class and application field will become one of the largest sub-tracks in the next 3-5 years. dForce has previously collaborated with multiple institutions to promote the tokenization of US Treasury bonds and provide lending services, helping US Treasury bondholders obtain additional returns.

Yang Mindao pointed out that there are many intersections and commonalities between AI and cryptocurrencies. "Although AI is still in its early stages in the crypto space, we have already seen applications like AI frameworks and AI launchpads emerging." dForce is focusing on exploring the combination of AI and DeFi, using AI agents to help DeFi improve returns, manage risks, and automate strategies. "If we can combine AI with DeFi, which has the most complete infrastructure in the crypto space, there will be enormous application potential in terms of yield enhancement and automation."

Regarding the current market situation, Yang Mindao believes that the market does not truly reflect the fundamentals of the crypto space. "After Trump took office, there were many positive news in the crypto space, indicating significant upside potential. The current market adjustment seems more influenced by macroeconomic factors, especially since the tariff policy has just been introduced, which may take a few weeks to a month to stabilize gradually."

He observed that in this cycle, the correlation between crypto assets and the macro economy is much higher than in previous cycles, partly due to the issuance of ETFs that have opened up liquidity channels between traditional finance and the crypto market.

For investment timing, Yang Mindao suggested during the event that investors may need to wait a bit longer until the Trump administration's policies become clearer. "There are many disputes regarding the entire tariff policy within the cabinet, so it’s best to wait a little longer."

In addition, many industry professionals and well-known institutions on-site discussed the application prospects of blockchain technology in financial innovation, empowering the real economy, and cross-border payments. As these innovative ideas are put into practice, blockchain technology will open up more possibilities for future economic development.
