"Cross-Border · Symbiosis" HabitTrade Summit: Lead the Future: Uniting TradFi & DeFi successfully concluded

On April 7, 2025, the offline summit "Lead the Future: Uniting TradFi & DeFi," co-hosted by the globally leading digital asset trading platform HabitTrade and the blockchain authority media ChainCatcher, successfully concluded in Hong Kong. This event brought together top practitioners and institutional representatives from the traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) sectors to engage in deep dialogue on the "coexistence, integration, and future" of the two financial systems, highlighting HabitTrade's strong influence and forward-looking vision in the global digital asset field.

The event kicked off with a presentation of HabitTrade's core advantages and vision. Co-founder Daniel took the stage to share the platform's technological barriers and long-term goals, emphasizing that HabitTrade is always based on "security, compliance, and innovation," striving to become a bridge connecting traditional finance and the crypto world. Subsequently, Elbert Ross, head of HabitTrade's MENA market, revealed the phased achievements of HabitTrade's strategy in the Middle East with the theme "Leading the New Era of Cross-Asset Investment":

"MENA: The Next Crypto Hub": Chainalysis data shows that from July 2023 to June 2024, the total on-chain transaction volume reached $338.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of over 45%, accounting for 7.5% of global transaction volume; several countries in the region, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, have become global growth poles due to regulatory friendliness and an influx of high-net-worth funds, and HabitTrade has taken the lead in completing local language layout;

"Deep Integration of TradFi and DeFi": Elbert predicts that 2025 will be the explosive year for the interconnection of the infrastructures of the two financial systems, and HabitTrade will focus on "compliance innovation" to drive the market towards maturity;

Roundtable Debate: Integration Pathways and Compliance Innovation

The core segment of the summit—two roundtable forums—provided the industry with forward-looking insights and practical experiences.

"Integration and Practice of Traditional Finance and Crypto Finance"

Host Xiaobing initiated a deep discussion on "cross-border symbiosis" with Emma from SINOHOPE, Kyle, a partner at Everest Ventures Group, and Louis, founder of Web3Link & TopFund. The guests discussed opportunities for bilateral cooperation and future development trends, presenting examples of how traditional capital can achieve "liquidity release" through crypto technology, and mentioned that more and more Web3 companies are beginning to prepare for IPO plans, indicating that global capital is irreversibly merging.

"Compliance Innovation in Crypto Finance"

During the second roundtable forum, host Xiaobing, along with Hunter, founder of ChainCatcher, George, CFO of The9 Limited, Chovy, CTO of HashBeaver, and Stella from HashKey Capital, focused on compliance pathways and capitalization windows. The guests unanimously agreed that if Circle's IPO is successful, it will validate the regulatory logic of "stablecoins as financial infrastructure," opening up "replicable capitalization models" for exchanges, custodians, and other sector enterprises.
