The first event in the world, DePin Expo 2025, ended in Hong Kong Cyberport! With the combination of global industry leaders, academics and developers, the event focused on the advanced applications of decentralized physical infrastructure (DePin), artificial intelligence, and web 3. More than 20 innovative projects have been shown, highlighting strategic models in Hong Kong and benefiting from them in the new chapter in developing real realistic pastries.
From 27 to 28 August, 2025, the DePin Expo 2025 exhibition, sponsored by CGV and Demall, hosted by Web 3 Labs, Metaera and Techub News, and organized by Cyberport, in Hong Kong Sipping. Since the first event in the world’s leading industry focuses on the decentralized material infrastructure network (DePin), the event, which was shown “LIFE, which was imagined with DePin”, brought together industry leaders, academics, investors and developers from all over the world to discuss how to reshape the real world technology and economics models.
Opening notes: Hong Kong becomes a strategic center for DePin and Web 3
The conference was officially launched with an editorial of Dr. Cheng Songan, CEO of Hong Kong Cybport. “As the Hong Kong Digital Technology Center and AI Accessor, Cyberport is home to more than 2,200 startups and features the largest blockchain system and the ecosystem of digital assets, including more than 290 Blockchain. DePin with the real economy.
Kevin Ren, the founder of the Deepin exhibition and the Asian Pacific partner in the CGV Fund, gave a speech entitled “Life, which was re -imagined with DePin”, which systematically explains the DePin classification and its practical applications in daily life. He pointed out that DePin is not only the material car to integrate artificial intelligence and WEB 3, but also the critical infrastructure to achieve the “automatic economy”. Kevin also announced the next Deai exhibition in 2026 to enhance the integration of decentralized artificial intelligence and the material world.
The main speech: The integration of technology and the construction of the ecological system has become the focus axis
Yao Ding, the head of growth for the Asia Pacific region at the Solana Foundation, participated in how the Solana network was to develop the DePin project through its high performance and at a low cost. He cited multiple data points to prove that Solana has become one of the preferred public chains for the DePin project.
Dr. Kay Kayung, CEO of Nano Bit, addressed the issue from the perspective of compliance and capital markets, noting that the cryptocurrency industry is going through integration in one direction, characterized by “the integration of cryptocurrency with Wall Street”. He stressed that high -quality projects must open the value through American stock lists or compatible capital markets, and provided a detailed analysis of the three -way interaction between industry, market and organization.
Allen Yang, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, of his academic research indicated that energy consumption issues in artificial intelligence applications can pose central risks, and that decentralized computing and edge computing platforms are major solutions. He mentioned specifically the need for local processing capabilities in the embodied AI and called for the decentralized and unitary development of AI Edge.
Political and Legislative Support: Hong Kong is actively building a web 3 environment
In his opening speech on the afternoon of 27 pm, Dr. Wu Gizangang, member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Administrative Zone, and member of the National Committee for the Political Consultative Conference of the Chinese people, detailed the legislative progress of Hong Kong in the virtual assets sector. He pointed out that Hong Kong issued 11 apparent asset exchange licenses and provided regulations for Stablecoins. Next year, the regulations for trading and nursery services will also be provided (OTC). Dr. Wu Jizhauang indicated that the international data assets are of about 4 trillion dollars, 93 % of which are original symbols. The distinctive symbol of realistic assets (RWA) still represents less than 1 %, indicating tremendous potential for the future. He stressed that Hong Kong will cooperate with the United States to enhance industry innovation and called on entrepreneurs to seize opportunities to develop decentralized payments (DePin) and RWA.
Caspar, CEO of Web 3 Labs, added that the Hong Kong Financial Secretary has allocated funds to support the Cyberport Web 3 ecosystem. In the past two years, more than 50 projects have been hit and have cooperated with multiple public chains to launch nursery programs to provide comprehensive support to project owners.
Review of a round table: DEPIN, AI and Web 3 integration path
The round table discussion was supervised about the twenty -seventh morning “Hong Kong’s role and the path in the DEPIN x Web 3 ecosystem”. The guests unanimously agreed that Hong Kong, with its international financial status and open policies, has unique advantages as the DePin axis. Pauline Van, the first vice president of INVESTHK, stressed the importance of the open sources community, while Rachel Li of Cyberport noticed her continuous commitment to attracting the public chain and ecosystem projects. Wang Yuen of the Hong Kong Youth Association said that Deepine could attract the talent of Amnesty International to Hong Kong. Yao Ding of the Solana Foundation stated that Hong Kong, as a bridge between East and West, has great potential in the market. Crystal Tang, CEO of Hitch, shared her experience in the Hitch Open.
Another round table, “How can the new global infrastructure gate become?” , It was supervised by CGV partner Edward and participants Henrik Sitiro, a major research officer in Peaq, Chris Bayan Ong from DPIN, Logan N from Hyra, Gunjan, VP of Beambable, and Ryan MA from FMG. The members of the institutional intermediary committee, the rule of data, and the transformation of compliance discussed, noting that DePin develops from the consumer application to the services of compatible institutions, and becomes a “real new operating system for the real world”.
At the age of twenty -eighth, discussing the round table, “Is rewriting the real world protocols?” Supervised by Nano SVP Lynn. IOTEX ESERNN stated that the current focus on solving black artificial intelligence problems and confidence. JT’s song for 0g Labs’ JT has stored a single data from 0g, computing power, and the consensus of DePin. Heric stated that current users prefer devices with revenue mechanisms. Larry from the Kaya Foundation believes that Deepin’s success requires a powerful user base, real value applications and economies. QUANYU participated in ROOTDATA visions of investment and financing data, saying that DePin is still one of the most important areas of investors.
Road and Environmental Display: Innovative applications are detected
The conference was distinguished by an open session for the stage, where more than 20 DePin projects were shown, covering a variety of fields including decentralized storage, edge computing, smart devices, data collection, and payment solutions. The following figure shows the collapse of participating projects.
Final expectations: DePin continues to develop, as Hong Kong has become an innovation engine
The conference concluded with the signing of vital partnership and discussions. Tokeenpost and Techub News completed a strategic agreement, which expanded the impact of the global media of DePin Expo.
DePin Expo 2025 has not shown the latest developments in DePin technology, but also the most prominent Hong Kong strategic site as an international center for Web 3 and DePin. From policy support to capital investment, from academic research to industrial applications, Hong Kong quickly has become a basic knot linking the DePin system between East and West.
In the future, DePin Expo will remain committed to building “Ces of Web 3” to enhance the decentralized technology of the masses and enable entities.
