The event brought together industry leaders, institutional innovators, and Web3 pioneers to discuss the future of decentralized governance and financial systems.
Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and Global Advisor of HTX, delivered a keynote speech reflecting on 13 years of crypto leadership and his vision for the next chapter of Web3. He emphasized the importance of long-term commitment over short-term speculation, stating, “Whether markets rise or fall, we are here to build.” Sun highlighted the values of “fear, reverence, and respect” and predicted that the total digital asset market could eventually reach $200 trillion. He stressed the importance of getting the math and security right to earn trust and unlock the next wave of growth.
Molly, Ambassador of HTX DAO, introduced the launch of the $HTX Token-Weighted Voting Tool, which allows holders to participate in on-chain governance. This feature marks a significant step toward building a truly community-led exchange. Molly also previewed HTX DAO’s first two governance proposals, including the establishment of a DAO committee and the launch of a community media series, DAO Talk.
Alec Goh, Head of HTX Ventures, presented an outlook on the global regulatory landscape, noting how recent shifts are unlocking institutional participation. He highlighted the positive impact of MiCAR in Europe and the crypto-favorable stance of the current U.S. administration. Goh emphasized that stablecoin adoption and regulatory clarity would be the two primary drivers of crypto market growth in 2025.
Other notable speakers included Jack Kong, Founder of Nano Labs; Ken Zhang, Head of Security of Google Cloud; and Chanel, Contributor of Core. Their insights spanned blockchain security, infrastructure growth, and global developer engagement, reinforcing the evening as a convergence point for thought leadership and collaboration across the Web3 space.
The event was not only a forum for thought leadership but also an immersive experience for attendees. Highlights included a Forbes cover-themed photo booth featuring Justin Sun, trivia quizzes, blind box giveaways, and exclusive challenges. A tremendous prize pool, including crypto rewards, VIP black cards, and exclusive merchandise, brought Web3 technology and culture closer to users, reinforcing HTX DAO’s mission of building a user-first ecosystem.
By leveraging Hong Kong’s global financial reach and Web3-friendly environment, HTX DAO is setting new standards for community-driven platforms. Backed by HTX infrastructure and the TRON ecosystem, HTX DAO aims to build a decentralized, transparent, and inclusive financial Freeport for the world.
As a multi-chain deployed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), HTX DAO demonstrates an innovative governance approach. It pioneers a blended CeFi/DeFi paradigm, including listing and community governance, through its focus on building an exchange DAO and a free financial hub ecosystem. Unlike traditional corporate structures, it adopts a decentralized governance structure composed of a diversified group, jointly committed to the success of this organization. This unique ecosystem advocates openness and encourages all DAO participants to propose ideas that can promote the development of HTX DAO.
