Learn Deep and Sip Fresh: The Evolution of Digital Assets (Web3 Festival HK Week)

We discussed:
1. NFTs experienced a dramatic boom and bust cycle. What fundamental changes in technology or market structure suggest the current utility-focused revival has more staying power?
2. Real-world asset tokenization has been discussed for years but faced numerous obstacles. What recent developments have accelerated adoption, and how do you see the $16 trillion projection for 2030 playing out across different asset classes?
3. How are AI agents specifically transforming asset verification, valuation, and compliance processes in ways that weren't possible before, and what impact might this have on market efficiency?
4. Many narratives in crypto are cyclical. What distinguishes genuine innovation from repackaged concepts, and how can investors and users differentiate between them?
5. The integration of NFTs, RWA tokenization, and AI creates new possibilities but also new risks. What regulatory challenges do you foresee, and how might they shape the development of these technologies?
6. DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) represents another evolving narrative. How does this concept intersect with NFTs, RWA, and AI integration?
7. What are the primary advantages and disadvantages of these technological integrations for different stakeholders - established financial institutions, technology companies, and consumers? How might these trade-offs influence adoption?
