The eighth edition of HKFW, themed “Fintech Redefined.” will take place from October 30 to November 5. This flagship event lies at the core of global fintech innovations and aims to shape the future of fintech across various dimensions of financial services and beyond.

Gathering global leaders at the forefront of innovation, technology, and finance

Organised by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) and InvestHK, and co-organised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Insurance Authority (IA), HKFW is set to attract more than 30 000 attendees and garner over 5 million online views from more than 90 economies.

Over 300 distinguished speakers and 540 exhibitors are expected to join the main physical conference taking place between November 2 and 3 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This year’s conference will bring together global leaders and world-leading fintech innovations to explore the future development of fintech through six key themes – global regulations and focuses such as sustainable and green finance; funding and venture capital as well as family office investments; exploring the realms of artificial intelligence (AI), Web3 and emerging frontiers; unveiling the latest opportunities within the dynamic Greater Bay Area; Hong Kong’s innovation journey; and business showcases.

The Acting Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Joseph Chan, said, “Hong Kong’s fintech industry is entering a new era, where it is no longer solely about technology but also its real-life application. We are excited to witness this transformation and its impact on the financial ecosystem. The upcoming HKFW 2023, with its theme ‘Fintech Redefined.’, will serve as a remarkable platform to showcase pioneering advancements and opportunities in the industry, demonstrating how the real-life applications of fintech can improve financial inclusion, enhance customer experience and drive sustainable growth.”

New models, rules and value creation

Various captivating metaverse experiences will also feature at this year’s conference, presenting cutting-edge technologies under immersive and educational engagements. The experiences will also demonstrate the possibilities of the metaverse in connecting business and promoting Hong Kong culture through virtual games and augmented and virtual reality devices.

In addition, the cross-boundary Greater Bay Area Day will be resumed on October 31, presenting ample opportunities and synergies between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. A full day forum will be organised in Shenzhen, followed by a series of concurrent company tours to Mainland tech giants.

There will be dedicated spaces such as the Investor Lounge, Venture Stage, workshops and events specifically designed for investors. Additionally, InvestHK is excited to introduce the Women in Tech Lounge, a unique space with special workshops, panels, and networking events tailored to empower and connect women in the tech industry.

The Acting Director-General of Investment Promotion of InvestHK, Dr Jimmy Chiang, said, “Hong Kong FinTech Week is the ultimate gathering for anyone eager to explore the frontiers of finance and technology, and witness the deepening collaborations within our thriving ecosystem as well as exciting convergence across diverse industries. Continuously pushing the boundaries of excellence, we are thrilled to have HKFW as an anchor event of VIVA HONG KONG, a remarkable lineup of financial, tech, Web3 and cultural events from the end of October to November, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and startups from around the world to be part of the dynamic momentum reinforcing Hong Kong’s status as Asia’s World City, financial centre and fintech hub.”

Best Crypto For 2025: A Closer Look at Web3 ai, Cosmos, Chainlink, & Avalanche

Published

2 days ago

on

June 25, 2025

By

The crypto space is constantly evolving, and choosing where to invest can feel like navigating a maze. But when you’re looking ahead to the best crypto for 2025, a few projects are already turning heads with their tech, purpose, and staying power.

In this article, we highlight four standout cryptocurrencies: Web3 ai, Cosmos, Chainlink, and Avalanche. These aren’t just speculative plays. They’re platforms offering real utility, innovative features, and long-term potential. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned trader, these are worth a closer look. Let’s see why they’re gaining attention as the best crypto for 2025.

1. Web3 ai: Using AI to Make Smarter Crypto Moves

Web3 ai is changing the way people approach crypto investing. It’s built around advanced AI tools that aim to make trading simpler and more effective. With real-time insights, portfolio tracking, and smart risk analysis, Web3 ai gives users an edge in a fast-moving market. The platform combines machine learning and natural language processing to help users act faster and with more confidence.

At the heart of it all is the $WAI token presale. It powers access to premium tools, allows staking, and gives holders a say in platform governance. Right now, $WAI is available at $0.000443 in Stage 9 of its presale, with the next price increase set for $0.000465. So far, $8.5 million has been raised.

What makes Web3 ai even more appealing is how easily it integrates with major wallets, DEXs, and multiple blockchains. For investors eyeing the best crypto for 2025, this is one project that combines accessibility with real functionality, making it a strong pick for the long term.

2. Chainlink: The Bridge Between Blockchain & Real-World Data

If you’ve been around crypto long enough, you’ve probably heard of Chainlink. It’s known for providing secure data feeds to smart contracts, which basically means it connects blockchains to real-world information. This is essential for DeFi applications, insurance protocols, and any project that relies on live data like pricing or weather conditions.

Right now, LINK is trading at $12.82. Despite some market fluctuations, the project keeps moving forward. New partnerships and integrations continue to expand Chainlink’s role in the growing DeFi ecosystem. Some experts expect LINK to reach $23.46 by 2026.

Chainlink remains a cornerstone for smart contract development. If you’re building a portfolio around the best crypto for 2025, LINK makes a strong case for inclusion.

3. Cosmos: Making Blockchains Talk to Each Other

Cosmos (ATOM) has been quietly solving a big problem in crypto: interoperability. In simple terms, Cosmos makes it easier for different blockchains to communicate and work together. That’s a huge deal in a landscape filled with siloed networks. Thanks to its design, Cosmos has become a critical player for developers building decentralized apps that need to operate across multiple ecosystems.

At the time of writing, Cosmos is trading at around $3.97. While the price dipped recently, long-term forecasts remain optimistic. Analysts see the token potentially climbing to $6.95 by 2026. ATOM holders also play an active role in network governance, helping shape the future of the protocol.

If cross-chain compatibility continues to rise in importance, Cosmos is well-positioned to meet that demand. It’s definitely one to watch if you’re thinking about the best crypto for 2025.

4. Avalanche: Built for Speed & Efficiency

Avalanche, or AVAX, has quickly gained recognition for its high-speed transactions and scalable infrastructure. Unlike many networks that slow down as activity increases, Avalanche is built to handle thousands of transactions per second. That efficiency makes it attractive to developers building dApps and financial platforms.

Currently priced at $18.34, AVAX has held steady with some expected market swings. But the real story is in its adoption. Avalanche is being used for everything from DeFi platforms to enterprise blockchain solutions. Analysts forecast the price could reach $22.29 by the end of 2025 and possibly hit $36.06 by 2026.

With fast finality, low fees, and a growing ecosystem, Avalanche stands out as one of the best crypto for 2025, especially for investors looking for performance and reliability.

Which Projects Deserve a Spot in Your Portfolio?

When looking at the best crypto for 2025, it’s smart to focus on fundamentals and real use cases. Web3 ai, Cosmos, Chainlink, and Avalanche each bring something unique to the table, from AI automation and cross-chain communication to real-world data delivery and lightning-fast transactions.

These aren’t just hyped coins, they’re foundational projects supporting the future of blockchain. Whether you’re drawn to Web3 ai’s AI engine, Cosmos’ interoperability, Chainlink’s oracles, or Avalanche’s performance, these picks have the potential to play a big role in the next wave of crypto growth.

If you’re building a well-rounded portfolio, keeping an eye on these four could pay off in the long run. They’ve got the tech, the teams, and the traction, and that’s exactly what makes them contenders for the best crypto for 2025.

Unstaked Secures Over $10.5M in Presale Funding! Ethereum Holds Uncertainty & Chainlink Eyes Breakout

Published

3 days ago

on

June 24, 2025

By

Crypto watchers eyeing Ethereum and Chainlink are spotting clear market signals, but they may be missing what’s truly ahead. Ethereum sits near the $2,900 mark as $3.5 billion worth of options near expiry, with rising volatility and unclear direction. While some suggest possible buy zones, price movement depends on how traders respond in the short term.

In contrast, Chainlink has caught attention by breaking out of a bullish pennant pattern, with some projecting it could reach $35 if buying strength continues. However, both remain vulnerable to broader market trends and trader speculation.

Unstaked is making waves not through noise, but real development. Now in Stage 21 of its presale, $UNSD is priced at $0.011739 with more than $10.5 million raised and over 1.2 billion coins sold. It’s setting up the backend of a utility-driven platform that may redefine how Web3 tools operate. Those looking for new crypto coins in 2025 with real substance may find Unstaked to be a game-changer.

Ethereum Braces for $3.5 Billion Expiry: Will It Move Big?

A major options expiry looms over Ethereum as over 1.5 million ETH, valued at around $3.5 billion, is set to close. How the price reacts will depend on trading shifts around this expiry.

The coin has hovered around $2,900, and experts suggest volatility could increase. Some view the $2,800 zone as a critical support if prices pull back. Despite price swings, Ethereum continues to show healthy on-chain activity and draws attention from institutions. It remains a focus for traders expecting short-term momentum.

Chainlink Builds Momentum: Can It Reach $35?

Chainlink (LINK) recently moved past its long-term downtrend, creating bullish sentiment. Trading near $17.50, it formed a higher low that points to increasing strength. With steady buying and improved sentiment in the crypto space, LINK may aim for the $35 zone if this trend holds.

Support has stayed firm around $15.60, boosting technical confidence. Growing traction in Chainlink’s oracle services and renewed engagement from large holders has also stirred interest. If momentum keeps up, Chainlink might outperform in the near term.

Unstaked Presale Grows Bigger with Rising Demand for AI Tools

Momentum is building around Unstaked, and delaying action may result in missed chances. The presale crypto 2025 has reached Stage 21, pricing $UNSD at just $0.011739. So far, over $10.5 million has been collected, and more than 1.2 billion coins have been sold. This isn’t about hype, it’s about providing the framework for decentralized automation in Web3.

After the presale ends and the platform goes live, all core features like AI agents, campaign tools, and customer automation systems will rely on $UNSD for operation. This ties usage directly to demand, making it a practical asset, not just a concept. Businesses will be turning to AI agents for tasks currently handled by staff, reducing costs while boosting speed.

As usage increases, so will pressure on the limited supply of $UNSD. And since each stage brings a price hike, current buyers have the best entry point now. This is the final phase before launch, momentum, and marketing start. If you’re looking for a crypto with actual features, strong use cases, and clear growth potential, Unstaked fits that profile. Timing is key, and early access puts holders well ahead of the crowd when listings and platform demand begin.

Summing Up!

Short-term market behavior will largely shape Ethereum’s next move, especially with the options expiry causing uncertainty. Chainlink’s recent technical setup is solid, with an upward path toward $35 if the momentum holds. Yet, both rely heavily on external market factors.

Unstaked offers something more concrete. Its AI-powered tools are already built and will go live following the presale. Every company that uses these tools must utilize $UNSD, ensuring actual use leads to rising demand.

Currently priced at $0.011739 in Stage 21, and with a planned launch price of $0.1819, the project may offer a return as high as 2,700%. That growth isn’t driven by excitement alone; it stems from direct usage and practical design.

Among the various new crypto coins emerging for 2025, Unstaked stands apart due to its measurable real-world application. Those still watching Ethereum or analyzing Chainlink’s breakout might want to consider what’s actually being built and move before attention shifts.

Unstaked Dominates 2025 Crypto Buzz With $1M Giveaway, As Pi Struggles and Solana Climbs

Published

4 days ago

on

June 23, 2025

By

As the crypto market enters mid-year momentum, the gap between rising and falling projects is widening. Solana (SOL) is making strong moves toward a potential $300 billion market cap, backed by positive technical signals and institutional interest. On the other hand, Pi Network faces ongoing price declines with little sign of recovery. Meanwhile, Unstaked (UNSD), a new AI-powered project, is grabbing attention.

It offers a unique Proof of Intelligence framework and gamified governance model. Adding to its growing buzz is a $1 million giveaway that is rapidly building a vibrant community. With sentiment shifting, Unstaked (UNSD) is becoming one of the most exciting crypto coins to watch in 2025. Its AI agents will go live once the presale ends and the project officially launches.

Solana Eyes $300B Market Cap Target

Solana (SOL) is regaining strong technical momentum after what experts call a “clean liquidity sweep” on the weekly chart, where price dipped below prior lows before sharply bouncing, a classic bullish signal. Now hovering above a key demand zone, SOL is positioned to retest its previous highs, with analysts eyeing the significant $300 psychological mark as the next target. 

Beyond technicals, Solana’s lightning-fast transaction speeds, thriving developer ecosystem, and expanding presence in decentralised applications continue to attract buyer confidence. While short-term traders pursue quick profits, long-term buyers remain focused on the broader market structure. Amid Bitcoin’s ongoing volatility, Solana emerges as a leading bullish contender for 2025.

Pi Network Nears Critical Support Zones

While Solana advances, Pi Network continues to struggle, marking its sixth consecutive day of losses. Currently trading at $0.61, down from $0.66 earlier this week, PI is nearing critical support levels at $0.58 and $0.54. The technical outlook remains bleak, with an oversold RSI at 19.59 and a deep Williams %R of -94.213, both reflecting intense selling pressure. 

Additional indicators, including the MACD and ADX, confirm the ongoing bearish trend, with 10, 50, and 100-day moving averages pointing to further downside. Pi’s delayed mainnet rollout is eroding buyer confidence, and without a clear catalyst, further declines are likely before any meaningful recovery occurs.

Unstaked’s $1M Giveaway Attracts Massive Buyer Interest

In contrast to Pi’s troubles, Unstaked is gaining strong momentum as one of the best crypto presales of 2025. Built on a unique Proof of Intelligence framework, Unstaked brings AI into its governance and protocol design. Rather than relying on fixed code, the platform adapts and evolves based on community input and real-time data. This decentralised AI system powers three standout features: intelligent governance, real-time network optimisation, and a highly participatory development cycle. The project also has no private allocations, ensuring fairness for all public buyers.

As of now, Unstaked has raised over $10.4 million in presale funds, with more than 1.1 billion coins sold. The current coin price is $0.011739 in Stage 21. The listing target is $0.1819, offering early buyers a potential 27x return. What’s driving even more buzz is Unstaked’s $1 million giveaway. Twenty winners will each receive $50,000 in $UNSD tokens. To join, participants simply complete small tasks, invite friends, share on social media, and buy at least $100. 

The giveaway runs for five months, perfectly timed with the project’s growth and launch. Unstaked’s AI agents will officially go live after the presale ends and the project launches. With new wallets growing daily, high visibility across platforms, and praise from analysts calling it a “smart sleeper,” Unstaked is quickly becoming one of 2025’s most talked-about crypto coins.

Wrap Up! 

The gap between top-performing crypto projects and those losing relevance has never been clearer. Solana (SOL), with its strong technical setup and growing institutional backing, is firmly securing its position as a leading Layer 1 blockchain. Meanwhile, Pi Network remains weighed down by stalled development and persistent bearish trends.

The real breakout of 2025, however, could be Unstaked. Built on an AI-first Proof of Intelligence model, Unstaked is redefining what a presale can deliver. With over $10.4 million raised, no private allocations, and an exciting $1 million community giveaway, Unstaked is gaining momentum. Its clear roadmap and AI-powered growth make it a standout in today’s innovation-driven market.
