Event Recap | "Web3 Trend Insights: New Opportunities in Global Assets 2026" Successfully Concludes

January 21, 2026, the offline salon 'Web3 Trend Insights: New Global Asset Opportunities 2026,' co-hosted by Futu and ME Group, @ME Newssuccessfully concluded in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Against the dual backdrop of increasing global macro uncertainty and the acceleration of digital asset compliance, this event brought together industry leaders such as Futu Group, Nano Bit, Antalpha, and AlloyX Group, to discuss cutting-edge topics like gold RWA, smart trading of virtual assets, and the tokenization of US stocks. The event outlined a new map for global asset allocation in 2026 for investors.

Linking virtual and real, reconstructing foundations: Exploring new pathways for global asset allocation in 2026

At the start of the event, Chen Weiqing, Director of Cryptocurrency Business at Futu Group, kicked off the exploration journey connecting traditional finance with the Web3 world with his presentation titled 'Seizing the Crypto Wave: Smart Trading Experience for Virtual Assets.' He keenly observed that, amidst the thriving wave of crypto assets, the core challenge faced by investors is no longer the scarcity of assets but the dual absence of 'selection capability' and 'risk control capability.' Chen emphasized that rational investment decisions depend not only on 'choosing the right targets' but also on deeply 'understanding structures.' Leveraging the regulatory advantages licensed by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, Futu effectively bridged the trust gap caused by market fragmentation, building a secure foundation for trading. On the solutions front, Chen Weiqing demonstrated Futubull's 'Smart Crypto Trading Experience' live, vividly illustrating how technology empowers investment decisions. By visualizing the Fear & Greed Index and providing real-time assistance through an AI assistant, Futu successfully transformed complex on-chain data into intuitive decision-making tools. Additionally, it integrated a unified account management system for Hong Kong and US stocks along with crypto assets. This series of innovative features not only significantly lowered users' cognitive barriers but also helped investors transition from passive followers to confident decision-makers in a volatile market environment.

Following the increasingly robust trading infrastructure, Dr. Cai Kailong, CEO of Nano Bit, turned his attention to the largest asset reservoir globally—the US stock market—and foresaw that 2026 would be a pivotal historical turning point where Real World Assets (RWA) move from conceptual trials to 'systematic on-chain integration.' In his view, tokenization of stocks is not merely an optimization of user experience but a fundamental transformation that touches the underlying logic of financial operations; it enables 24/7 borderless instant settlement, breaking the time and space constraints of traditional financial transactions and reshaping the basic form of asset liquidity. Based on this forward-looking insight, Dr. Cai provided a detailed introduction to the innovative practices of the decentralized aggregation platform dStock. This platform establishes a rigorous framework of 'compliant issuance, licensed custody, and 1:1 real anchoring,' successfully overcoming long-standing barriers in US stock trading. This groundbreaking initiative injects new digital vitality into traditional financial assets while paving a Web3 highway for global investors to access a $130 trillion market, marking the official start of an era of boundaryless asset allocation.

Asset Restructuring and Strategy Evolution: From New Paradigms of Digital Gold to the Closed Loop of Global Allocation

As the agenda moved into the second half, the focus of the discussion shifted from aggressive equity assets to the realm of gold as a foundational allocation. Danchen Huang, Director of Institutional Business at Antalpha RWA Hub, provided an in-depth analysis of how gold transcends its physical form to complete a paradigm shift from the Bretton Woods system to digital consensus against the macro backdrop of AI's rise and intertwined geopolitical conflicts in this 'chaotic epoch.' Addressing the long-standing issues of liquidity scarcity and operational friction in traditional physical gold, Danchen Huang further showcased how Antalpha, through deep synergy between RWA Hub and the Tether Gold ecosystem, offered a breakthrough solution. This solution not only achieves on-chain confirmation and transparent management of gold assets but also seamlessly integrates them into the vast scenarios of DeFi, unlocking their financial attributes to transform dormant 'dead' gold into highly liquid 'live' capital. This digital transformation not only greatly enhances asset capital efficiency but also injects new vitality into gold, an ancient value carrier, making it adaptable to the digital economy era.

As the final guest of the event, Chen Haoyang, Director of AXG at Huaying Group, elevated the discussion to a macro perspective of global asset allocation, exploring how to leverage the penetrative power of tokenization technology to capture liquidity premiums that traditional financial systems struggle to reach. With great foresight, he pointed out that the evolution logic of next-generation on-chain wealth management lies in breaking binary oppositions and deeply integrating the compliance cornerstone and stability of TradFi with the unique high-yield potential of DeFi, thereby reshaping the driving force of asset appreciation within a compliant framework. On the implementation strategy level, Chen constructed a rigorous 'on-chain liquidity yield' model. This solution introduces institutional-grade lending protocols and RWA asset staking mechanisms, cleverly setting up a 'safety barrier' to shield investors from high volatility on the chain. It ensures asset security while enabling a strategic closed-loop transition from single-asset holding to compound growth through steady cash flow generation capabilities, providing highly actionable guidance for asset tokenization practices under the context of global allocation.

From the intelligent trading foundation built by Futu, to Nano Bit and Antalpha’s on-chain reconstruction of equity and safe-haven assets, and finally to AXG’s implemented global allocation strategy, this salon was not a simple industry mix but a complete preview of the 2026 digital finance ecosystem. In this new paradigm woven by compliance, technology, and liquidity, the depth of traditional finance is merging with the speed of Web3. The boundaries of assets have dissolved, heralding a new era of all-weather, borderless, programmable wealth that officially begins with the arrival of 2026.
