Crypto narratives move fast. AI coins, L1s, Robotics, whatever comes next. It looks chaotic, but that’s also the point: crypto is where new tech gets tested before the rest of the world catches up.

We are pleased to welcome Serena Yu, Director, Digital Assets Product at @StanChart, to our Hong Kong Digital Asset Summit. Serena drives Standard Chartered's digital assets strategy, leads tokenization initiatives globally, and oversees the digital assets roadmap and development across Greater China and North Asia markets. Her participation brings a senior perspective on what institutional-grade digital asset custody requires in practice, grounded in direct experience building custody operating models and infrastructure at one of the region's most active global banks.

We are pleased to welcome @jeffrey_hu, Investment Director at @yzilabs, to our Hong Kong Digital Asset Summit. Jeffrey focuses on Web3 and the emerging intersection with AI at YZi Labs. Prior to this role, he served as Head of Investment Research at HashKey Capital, and has been an active contributor to Bitcoin and broader crypto research communities.

Two guests. Two capital-markets veterans. Same conclusion. @Charles d'Haussy (CEO, dYdX Foundation) on Double Down: "Bitcoin is the most pristine asset you want as collateral. If you bring a Bitcoin, people will take it, they know exactly how to price it. It's highly liquid." @Patrick Bush (Senior Analyst, VanEck), one episode later: "When an asset starts to mature like this, typically it does become valuable for collateral. People are treating it like any other asset increasingly. 10 years ago it was toxic waste." The institutional era of Bitcoin is going to be about collateral, and the infrastructure that lets holders keep their title while unlocking capital efficiency.  That's what we're building with Trustless Bitcoin Vaults (TBV), starting with the first use case, native Bitcoin-backed borrowing with @aave v4.
