In discussions related to Consensus HK, Yoyee, the head of institutional business at Bybit, stated that RWA is an important practical path for effectively bridging Web2 and Web3.She pointed out that there are already relatively mature solutions available in the market:Real-world assets are custodied by trusted custodians or banks, allowing investors to enjoy the returns from the underlying assets; at the same time, they are mapped onto the blockchain for circulation and trading on platforms, enhancing returns and improving liquidity.This model ensures asset security while introducing on-chain liquidity and trading efficiency, creating a win-win structure for custodians, platforms, and investors.RWA is gradually transitioning from narrative to a replicable financial model.

X product lead and Solana advisor Nikita Bier posted, announcing that X will launch more detection mechanisms for automated behavior and spam, and will continue to strengthen related measures in the future.

The original Layer 1 public chain Sonic, created by the Fantom team, stated that it plans to promote the upgrade of the value accumulation mechanism of the native token S through the establishment and acquisition of core protocol applications and infrastructure, and hinted at possible related mergers and acquisitions in the future.Sonic Labs pointed out in its latest statement that the team will focus on key infrastructure at the intersection of token utility, liquidity, and use cases, reducing the outflow of value from the ecological application layer by internalizing and commercializing core economic activities. At the same time, Sonic will maintain its openness and permissionless characteristics for developers. The team stated that the previous model of relying on "user growth --- increased transactions --- higher Gas consumption --- token value return" has become difficult to sustain. With the development of Rollup, modular architecture, and high-performance public chains, the increase in block space supply has led to continuous compression of transaction fees, making it insufficient to rely solely on Gas revenue to support the long-term value of L1. Sonic is a high-performance public chain compatible with EVM, aiming to achieve near-instant confirmation and extremely high throughput, and is currently attempting to reshape the value capture path of Layer 1 through deeper ecological integration.

During Consensus HK, Gate hosted a high-end networking reception and invited over a thousand industry guests to participate. Gate's founder and CEO Dr. Han stated in the keynote speech "What's the Next Big Thing in Crypto" that the acceleration of RWA and TradFi assets onto the blockchain is driving the integration of traditional finance and the crypto system from conceptual fusion to large-scale implementation, with multi-asset collaboration becoming an important engine for the next phase of industry expansion.In line with this trend, Gate continues to enhance its TradFi product offerings, covering various asset classes such as stocks, metals, forex, indices, and commodities. It supports trading of popular assets like gold, silver, Tesla, Nvidia, and Apple, with leverage up to 500 times, and has launched an industry-first adjustable leverage mechanism for gold, enhancing the flexibility of asset allocation.Data shows that Gate's total TradFi trading volume has surpassed $33 billion, with a single-day peak trading volume exceeding $6 billion, demonstrating the platform's significant advantages in multi-asset trading structure and liquidity integration. This also provides a verifiable scale sample for crypto trading platforms to accommodate traditional financial assets, further driving the industry towards a multi-asset and integrated direction.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin elaborated on his latest views regarding the integration of Ethereum and artificial intelligence. He pointed out that the ideal future of artificial intelligence should achieve two core goals: first, to enhance human freedom and empowerment, avoiding the replacement of humans by AI or entrapment in insurmountable power structures; second, to ensure system security, mitigating existential risks posed by superintelligence and chaotic scenarios resulting from imbalances in offense and defense.Around this vision, he proposed four key short-term building directions and emphasized that Ethereum will play an important role in them:Build technological tools that support trustless and private interactions, including local large language models, zero-knowledge proof-based API payments, cryptography-driven privacy enhancement solutions, and client-side verification mechanisms for various proofs and certifications.Establish Ethereum as the economic coordination layer for AI-related interactions, supporting scenarios such as API calls, employment and collaboration between autonomous robots, margin mechanisms, and potential future on-chain dispute resolution systems and AI reputation frameworks.Promote the realization of the cypherpunk vision of "self-verification," enabling users to interact directly with Ethereum applications through local models, autonomously generate and verify transactions, complete smart contract audits, and independently assess the trust models of decentralized applications.Leverage artificial intelligence to expand the scale of human judgment and collaboration, activating complex mechanisms such as prediction markets, decentralized governance, and quadratic voting, to build a more efficient and inclusive market and governance ecosystem.Vitalik concluded that the aforementioned directions reflect the idea of achieving decentralized collaboration and system resilience through technology, and combined with AI and cryptographic techniques, they are expected to push social and economic designs, previously limited by human cognitive and coordination capabilities, towards reality.

At the Gate annual gala, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han stated that as AI deeply integrates into production processes, the global work landscape is undergoing dramatic changes; the combination of AI and Web3 is not merely a functional overlay, but a systematic reconstruction of financial infrastructure and value distribution methods.Dr. Han pointed out that up to 90% of traditional job capability models will face the risk of being restructured or eliminated in the future. According to the report "The Tech Job Market in 2025/2026" published by Ravio, the hiring rate for entry-level positions (P1/P2) has decreased by approximately 73% year-on-year, with declines in marketing, engineering research and development, and product design roles exceeding 69%. Dr. Han emphasized that efficiency and speed are becoming core competitive advantages, and companies must fully embrace AI to reshape product forms and user experiences.Dr. Han stressed that the core value of TradFi lies in bridging the gap between on-chain assets and real-world finance, which not only enhances the stability and efficiency of asset connections but also becomes a key entry point for value to transition from the digital world to the real world. The dual drive of AI and TradFi marks a significant leap of Web3 towards intelligent and tangible finance.

According to CoinDesk, the blockchain network Flare has enabled lending features for its on-chain XRP-pegged asset FXRP through integration with the cross-chain lending protocol Morpho.This update aims to provide XRP holders with more decentralized finance options, allowing them to earn interest by depositing FXRP or using FXRP as collateral to borrow stablecoins and other assets. This feature is currently accessible through the standalone Mystic application, initially offering lending pools supported by FXRP, Flare's native token FLR, and the stablecoin USDT. Morpho's market design isolates each pair of lending assets to limit risk transmission.

UBS Group CEO Sergio Ermotti stated this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland: Blockchain is the future of traditional banking, and the two will merge.In 2018, he mentioned that blockchain is almost a prerequisite for companies to remain competitive, and now asserts that the merger is inevitable. He predicted at that time that blockchain would change the industry's cost structure within 5-10 years, and that timeline is approaching.Ermotti's remarks align with those of Fidelity CEO Abigail Johnson. Johnson criticized traditional financial underlying technologies as primitive and concerning last December, stating that the existing systems are built on a complex network of reconciliation processes based on primitive technologies.
