Hong Kong, July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From the first personal computers that entered homes, to smartphones that reshaped social interaction and access to information, and later the Internet of Things that connects everything? With artificial intelligence permeating every corner of life? Every major technological leap often begins with a pivotal “exhibition assembly.”
Now, at the tipping point where physical devices are gradually integrating with blockchain technology, the world of Web3 is ushering in its own “exhibition moment.” DePIN Expo 2025, an innovative industry exhibition focusing on blockchain devices and the convergence of physical devices and technology encryption Worlds, is scheduled to debut this summer at Hong Kong.
CES: A barometer of the global technology industry spanning half a century
Since its founding in 1967, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) has become a global benchmark for the technology industry. From smartphones, tablets and IoT to wearables, smart homes, self-driving and AI-powered voice assistants? Countless groundbreaking hardware products made their global debuts at CES.
It’s no exaggeration to say that almost every major shift in human lifestyle over the past 60 years can be traced back to a CES show.
What makes CES so important is not just its showcase of new technologies, but its ability to outline how these technologies will truly change the world. CES is not only the annual testing ground for the technology industry? It is a “real-world showroom” that predicts the future of the way we live.
From DePIN to MetaDePIN: Rebuilding the value of devices, data, and incentives
In the early stages of Web3, the conversation centered around protocols, assets, and financial logic. However, since 2024, a new trend has begun to gain momentum: DePIN (decentralization physical infrastructure networks).
DePIN stands out as one of the most tangible and influential segments of the Web3 scene. Are physical world devices such as routers, electric vehicles, cameras, home gateways and logistics trackers no longer just connected to the network? They have become connected to the chain. These devices act as “nodes” in blockchain networks, participating in global coordination and generating real-world revenue. DePIN brings the concept of “chain” from virtual environments to physical spaces? From lines of code to cities and homes.
The number of DePIN projects worldwide increased from 650 projects in 2022 to 1,170 projects in 2024? An increase of approximately 12 times. More than 13 million devices now participate in DePIN networks daily. According to Masari, the DePIN market is expected to reach value $3.5 trillion By 2028.
Today, with the emergence of use cases such as RWA (Real World Assets), AI agents, and edge computing, DePIN is moving beyond simple miners and low-power devices. It is evolving into a broader network of devices, economic systems and real-world applications: a payment card linked directly to the Internet Decentralized finance networks; an electric vehicle that automatically records carbon credits on-chain and navigates via artificial intelligence; A network of AI-powered cameras captures urban traffic data, records it on-chain, and triggers incentive mechanisms.
This converging trend is what we call it Metadipine ? A new model of DePIN that includes hardware form factors, incentive protocols, AI systems, and real-world assets.
DePIN Expo 2025: “Web3 CES” officially launched in Hong Kong
To showcase the powerful convergence of hardware and blockchain technology, DePIN Expo 2025 will be held on August 27-28, 2025, at Cyberport, Hong Kong.
This is the world’s first industry-wide event dedicated to the DePIN concept, and the first large-scale consumer technology exhibition in Web3’s history centered around on-chain devices.
Highlights:
- Industry first: The world’s first major event focused on DePIN (decentralization physical infrastructure networks)
- Top level support: With guidance Hong Kong Saudi riyal The government in cooperation with Stanford UniversityUC Berkeley and Baron China
- Cross-industry integration: Highlighting DePIN x RWA, AI convergence, machine economics, hardware manufacturing, cross-border logistics, and real-world immersive demos
- Business enablement: Dedicated zones for wholesale trade and private traffic reconciliation to accelerate large-scale deployment and accurate conversion of DePIN projects
The goal of DePIN Expo is not just to showcase “how to run devices on the chain,” but to create a network Web3 version of CES ? A platform that bridges technological breakthroughs and real-world experiences, connects capital markets to manufacturing networks, and connects the connected world to the physical economy. On site, the exhibition will be displayed Dozens of MetaDePIN devicesAcross seven main application categoriesincluding computing, networking, sensing, identity, energy, logistics and infrastructure:
- account: Home mining rigs, AI companions, smart speakers, game rendering nodes, and edge computing stations
- Wireless: DePIN smartphones, eSIM cards, 5G routers, home WiFi hotspot devices, broadband boxes
- Sensors: Smart watches, smart rings, cameras, dash cams, video doorbells, air quality monitors
- identity: Iris scanners, U cards, hardware wallets, Web3 ID cards, and mobile ID tags
- energy: Residential solar panels, electric vehicle charging inverters, home battery storage systems, shared charging stations
- Logistics: Autonomous vehicles, robots, encrypted delivery boxes, and cold chain logistics nodes
- Infrastructure: public blockchains, oracles, decentralization Data storage, smart contract gateways, and trusted hardware modules

Hong Kong: DePIN’s first global position
As one of the few international financial cities that actively supports the convergence of Web3 and the real world, Hong Kong It stands out as the perfect ground for DePIN’s rise. In recent years, Hong Kong Saudi riyal The government has provided a regulatory framework for virtual assets, launched pilot programs for stablecoins and token assets, and sent strong policy signals to support real-world applications of Web3.
geography, Hong Kong One hour away from Shenzhen, DongguanAnd Foshan? Major hardware manufacturing and OEM centers in the mainland China. This proximity enables a seamless connection between on-chain demand and offline factories, creating a new collaborative model for “decentralization orders + physical production lines,” providing DePIN with unprecedented advantages in manufacturing and deployment.
At the same time, Hong Kong It is home to leading exchanges and encryption funds, and acts as a natural gateway to emerging markets such as Japan, South Korea, singaporeand The Middle East. Over the past year, the city has hosted a series of major international events encryption Conferences (such as the Hong Kong Consensus and Bitcoin Asia), enhancing the strong convergence of capital and talent and strengthening its role as a preferred destination for entrepreneurship via Web3 and global exchange.
At DePIN Expo 2025, a dedicated “DePIN Urban Demo Zone” will be unveiled with Hong Kong As a prototype to showcase how on-chain devices can be deployed, operated and stabilized at a city level. This is the first time in Web3’s history that DePIN has been presented through a city-level lens, demonstrating the shift from a “hardware lab” to an “infrastructure platform.”
The successful hosting of DePIN Expo 2025 will be established Hong Kong As the global leader in Web3 CES, strengthening its position as a leading center for Web3 CES. encryption Innovation in Asia And beyond. We look forward to it together.
