By early 2026, a major wealth management forum is set to take place in Hong Kong. It may seem like just an industry event, but it reflects a deeper market shift behind the scenes.

The core issue of this shift is: as Web3 gradually moves from the fringes to the mainstream financial discussion framework, who can truly gain long-term financial discourse power?

In recent years, the entire industry has become accustomed to telling stories through narratives and concepts. High volatility, high promises, and high imagination—these are the labels of the crypto market. But what the traditional financial system has been doing is something else: building institutions, improving risk control, and pursuing sustainability. These two logics are almost parallel, with little real intersection.

However, by 2025-2026, the situation has changed.

The Hong Kong stock market is recovering, and the risk appetite across the capital markets is warming up. More importantly, sectors like technology, ESG, and digital assets—once considered "outliers"—are now integrated into a more comprehensive wealth management system. This is no longer fringe discussion; mainstream finance is redefining its allocation framework.

At this turning point, the truly important question is no longer reiterating the grand narrative of Web3, but asking a more pragmatic question: as infrastructure, can it be long-term compatible with the existing financial system? Can it deliver results in hard metrics like risk control, compliance, and sustainability?

This is the critical step from "cryptocurrency narrative" to "financial consensus."
