AAX Reveals Speakers at the Upcoming Hong Kong Fintech Week 2021

Today, AAX unveiled its groundbreaking exhibition for Hong Kong FinTech Week 2021. AAX also confirmed who are going to be the speakers in the said event. Being the event’s Diamond Sponsor, AAX aims to support the region’s vibrant FinTech community. More so, AAX took this as an opportunity to explore how the bridge between our physical and virtual worlds are transforming and progressing.

In the three-day conference, Toya Zhang, Deputy COO, Ben Caselin, Head of Research and Strategy and Anton Gulin, Country Manager of Russia, Ukraine and CIS — will all participate in discussions, regarding some of the most relevant topics in the crypto space today. The topics include Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), as well as the significance of digital inclusion.

Toya Zhang commented,

We are delighted to sponsor Hong Kong’s premier fintech conference for the first time. This event represents Hong Kong’s vibrant fintech ecosystem, but it is also a truly global platform that allows us to connect with a much broader community. The hybrid format also highlights how the future of FinTech will be driven by cross-border connections and interactions that cross the physical and virtual divide.

Furthermore, AAX will leverage its Hong Kong FinTech Week sponsorship and take visitors to experience a new frontier of creativity. Moreover, in the AAX’s exhibition stand at the event, visitors will have the chance to be a part of an NFT, which the exchange will be displayed through the week.

With that said, AAX also plans to jump into the NFT craze through the idea of crypto celebrity ‘gods’ and their influence in the market.
