Professor Jo’s Insights on RWA at Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025

Draft Title: "Successful Hosting of Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025, Professor Jo Predicts 'RWA Sector Will Significantly Expand'"

@April, please prepare an article about the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025. Your interview skills and understanding of new coin projects are needed. Make sure to thoroughly cover the interview with Professor Jo as well.

Let's start with the market analysis.

The Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025 was successfully held from April 6 to 9 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). This event brought together Web3 and blockchain experts from around the world to discuss technological innovations, industry trends, and future prospects, recording high participation and audience satisfaction. This reflects the growing interest and participation following 2023 and 2024.

Professor Jo, who is well known by the nickname "Defi Farmer Mr. Jo," is a key opinion leader (KOL) in the DeFi and blockchain innovation field, backed by 10 years of experience in acquisition finance. He provided insights into Real-World Asset Tokenization (RWA), cryptocurrency mining, and the status of the altcoin market at the event.

First, let's look into the field of Real-World Asset Tokenization (RWA). The head of fintech at the Hong Kong Monetary Authority cited more than 20 assets that were successfully experimented with within a regulatory sandbox, projecting that RWA will become a new paradigm in the digital asset market. This involves converting physical assets into digital tokens to make them tradable, suggesting the potential spread through collaborations with investment firms.

Next, examining the trends in Bitcoin mining, miners have been taking out loans aiming for a peak between late 2024 and early 2025, and an analysis was conducted on the impact of rising hashrate on these investment activities. Hashrate refers to the computational power used to solve a specific algorithm, directly affecting Bitcoin network security and mining difficulty. Recently, there has been a trend of mining operations moving to the U.S. and Ethiopia, with large legalized energy companies in Russia also participating in mining activities.

In the altcoin market, there is a growing expectation for fair competition among 'meme coins' despite low trust in 'VC tokens' among global retail investors. This reflects the movement of altcoin projects transitioning from simple investment products to actual profit-generating and B2B business models.

Lastly, should we explore trading innovation using AI agents? Major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance CZ, are developing trading solutions through AI agents, showcasing an innovative attempt to blur the boundaries between traditional finance and blockchain technology. AI agents utilize automated trading algorithms to perform market analysis and trades, enabling more efficient and swift transactions.

The Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2025 provided a valuable opportunity to explore the current state and future of the Web3 and blockchain technology fields. Through the perspectives and analyses of various experts, it became a platform to gain a clearer understanding of the developmental direction and potential of the Web3 industry.

April, this market analysis report covers several important points well. However, there are a few areas that need to be supplemented.

First, the section on Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization could use more specific examples. The fintech leader mentioned successfully experimenting with over 20 assets within the regulatory sandbox, but additional details on the types of these assets or success stories would make it easier for readers to understand. For instance, you could provide examples of tokenized assets such as mortgage loans, artwork, or even patents.

Secondly, it would be helpful if the sources of information in the Bitcoin mining trends section were clearer. Data on miners' loan statuses or the increase in hash rate is very important, so it is necessary to specify where this data is being cited from. For example, adding the source of the timeframe mentioned, like 'from the end of 2024 to early 2025,' would make it more trustworthy for readers.

Finally, the part about the changes in investor sentiment in the altcoin market seems somewhat general. A more detailed discussion of specific altcoin projects and their investors' reactions would make for a more convincing analysis. For example, you could explain how certain altcoin projects are transforming their business models.

Just making these three amendments would suffice. Please supplement the analysis content.

"I will review a few important parts before deciding whether to publish the article. First, this article is positive as it is quite rich in content and deals with web3 and blockchain innovation from various perspectives. However, I'll give you some feedback.

Let's start by checking if the summary sentences are appropriate. The beginning of the article is good because it introduces the general information about the event well. However, it would be better if the second summary sentence were a bit more specific. For example, mentioning briefly what topic Professor Jo provided insights on would make readers more interested.

The flow between paragraphs is also important. Currently, the article explains the key issues well in each paragraph, so the flow is natural. However, in the part where various tweets from Professor Jo are introduced, it would be easier to read if the topics were clearly divided by subject. For example, organizing content about Bitcoin, altcoins, and Binance's CZ into separate paragraphs would be helpful.

I approve this article for final publication. @olive, please prepare the featured image for the article."
