The venue was packed with nearly 200 people. The participants gathered together to discuss the future development of stablecoins and their impact on the global financial system.
At the summit, many industry leaders delivered wonderful keynote speeches and explored in depth the development prospects of Web3 technology, digital payments and stablecoins.
Mastercard Vice President of Research and Development Donghao Huang delivered a keynote speech entitled "Building Trust and Smooth Business Experience: Leading the Future of Web3 Technology Payment". Donghao emphasized that Web3 technology is reshaping the payment field, bringing users higher trust and smooth experience. He focused on Tokenized Card NFT, an innovation that transforms payment cards into non-transferable Soul Bound Tokens, significantly improving the security and credibility of transactions. Donghao also elaborated on the DigiPay solution, which effectively solves the micropayment problem through its low-fee and high-throughput characteristics.
Anson Zeall, Chief Strategy Officer of dtcpay, delivered a speech entitled "Revolutionizing Digital Payments: Innovation and Strategic Cooperation for Seamless Deposit Experience".
