Following the sellout success of its previous editions, the Hong Kong Web3 Festival has announced its return on 20-23 April at HKCEC. The festival, co-hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, is Asia’s premiere crypto conference since 2023. Now in its fourth year, this four-day event will bring tens of thousands of Web3 professionals, investors, and enthusiasts from around the world to connect, learn, and be inspired. Web3 Festival 2026 centers on three themes: the convergence of traditional finance and crypto finance, AI + Web3, and real-world assets.
The Convergence of Traditional Finance and Crypto Finance sees leading global financial institutions engaging in dialogues with crypto-native forces. Discussions will focus on the game-changing stablecoins and the emergence of a new global payment system. AI + Web3 explores the synergistic evolution of AI and blockchain toward a new generation of financial infrastructure. As AI evolves from a “conversational assistant” into on-chain entities capable of autonomous economic activities—such as OpenClaw—and as protocols like x402 and standards like ERC-8004 pave the way for an AI-driven agent economy, the boundaries of technological convergence are pushed forward.
RWAs serve as a critical bridge connecting traditional finance with the digital economy. Web3 Festival 2026 unites globally renowned institutions like BlackRock, CICC, and Deloitte China Hong Kong, alongside leading law firms and securities organizations, to explore the practical guidance and future landscape of global RWA issuance. The lineup features leaders from BlackRock, CICC, Deloitte China Hong Kong, and HashKey Group, along with prominent figures from the Solana Foundation, Animoca Brands, OKX, and other top Web3 projects.
