AMPLIFY 2026 Hong Kong Summit Successfully Concludes: Quantifying Web 4.0 Growth, AI Trading Demo Day Ignites Innovation Engine
The “AMPLIFY 2026” theme summit series, hosted by ChainTimes and GAEA VENTURES, and co-hosted by AetheriumX, Origins Network, Monera Digital, and DDEX, successfully concluded in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, on April 20-21, 2026.
Under the theme “AI × Web3 × Quant — Quantifying Growth in Web 4.0,” the summit focused on frontier fields such as AI agents, on-chain autonomous trading, RWA integration, and institutional digital credit. The event brought together CEOs from leading global crypto-financial institutions, prominent investors, and industry experts for two days of in-depth discussions. Sessions examined the evolution from traditional finance (TradFi) to digital assets, and from AI infrastructure to DeFi innovation, through the lens of quantitative growth.
Day 1 (April 20): “Venture Horizon” – Focusing on Institutional Capital and AI Infrastructure
The “Venture Horizon” session commenced at 14:00. Logan, Founder of GAEA VENTURES, and Xi Chen, Co-founder of ChainTimes, delivered the opening remarks, setting the tone for “deep connectivity and quantified growth.” Industry leaders followed with insightful presentations: Stefanel (Technical Advisor at Origins), Goran (Marketing Director at AetheriumX), and Gongye (CEO of Monera Digital) shared perspectives on technical architecture, market strategy, and ecosystem layout.
A highlight of the afternoon was the roundtable discussion, “Redefining Capital: Bridging TradFi and Digital Assets.” Senior industry figures, including Norman and Ming Wen, explored regulatory pathways for traditional capital to access on-chain assets and discussed the future of institutional-grade digital asset solutions. The session also reflected strong cross-industry alignment, with support from organizations such as AWS, DDEX, and LiberCEX, underscoring growing consensus around the convergence of AI and Web3.
