Integrating blockchain with traditional finance, Chainlink will hold SmartCon 2024 in Hong Kong

Integrating DeFi & TradFi

As Chainlink's flagship conference, SmartCon 2024 focuses on the integration of blockchain and traditional finance, bringing together leading DeFi protocols like Aave with the world's largest financial institutions and market infrastructures such as Swift, Euroclear, and ANZ. The audience is expected to be composed of 40% Web3, 40% capital markets, and 20% enterprise and blockchain researchers, discussing hot industry topics such as the tokenization of real-world assets, stablecoins, cross-chain interoperability, the intersection of AI and blockchain, the transformation of the capital market lifecycle, and regional digital asset ecosystems.

Upgraded Guest Lineup

Last year's SmartCon in Barcelona attracted thousands of participants, including Mr. Chan Ho Lam, Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Mr. Leung Hon Ching, Global Head of Financial Services and FinTech at Invest Hong Kong, and Qian Jiang, Director of Capital Markets and Digital Assets at Swift. This year's SmartCon speaker lineup has been further upgraded, with Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov joining the Chainlink global team and over a hundred core leaders from government agencies, Web3, and capital markets to present an exciting agenda, including representatives from Euroclear, Citibank, Fidelity International, Arta TechFin, Circle, Franklin Templeton, ANZ, Standard Chartered Ventures, Aptos Labs, Sonieum, Matrixport, CELO, and more.

Shaping the Future of On-Chain Finance

SmartCon 2024 has received sponsorship from Invest Hong Kong for the second consecutive year, and this year has also received support from local government entities such as the Hong Kong Tourism Board and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Development Department.

As a global financial center, Hong Kong serves as a gateway for international companies entering the Asian market, particularly the mainland China market. Its favorable business environment, legal system, and principles of free market make it a hub for global capital, trade, and investment. More importantly, Hong Kong has become an innovative center that is friendly and encourages the development of crypto assets, blockchain, and Web3. The Hong Kong government has not only conducted several blockchain-based pilot projects but is also establishing a robust framework to facilitate financial innovation for on-chain builders. The city aims to become a leader in Web3 innovation and technology, acting as a bridge between mainland China and the rest of the world.

Chainlink is very excited to hold SmartCon in Hong Kong and looks forward to collaborating with industry-leading companies and projects, along with the Chainlink ecosystem, to discuss how to advance the digital asset development initiative in Asia and contribute to global adoption, jointly shaping the future of on-chain finance.
