CFA Society Hong Kong x ACCA - Exploring Web3 Investment: Stablecoins, Real World Assets, and Emerging Crypto Trends
(CODE: 250828N-MSX)
[Complimentary Member Exclusive Event]
CFA Society Hong Kong and ACCA are excited to co-host a member exclusive session themed “Exploring Web3 Investment: Stablecoins, Real World Assets, and Emerging Crypto Trends”.
We are excited to welcome the Society’s Vice President, Mr. David Ching, CFA, Investment Director at Animoca Brands, one of the leading venture capital firms specializing in Web3 and digital asset investments to share with the audience the institutional-grade insights into three critical areas reshaping the financial landscape: the $300+ billion stablecoin ecosystem, the tokenization of real world assets (RWAs), and cutting-edge investment opportunities in the crypto space. To make the session even more engaging, we’re delighted to have Mr. Stanley Ho, Chairman of ACCA Hong Kong as our moderator.
As traditional finance increasingly converges with blockchain technology, financial professionals must understand both the transformative potential and risk considerations of Web3 investments. Our distinguished speaker will share practical frameworks for evaluating stablecoin issuers and their role in cross-border payments and DeFi, explore the tokenization of traditional assets including real estate, commodities, private credit and stocks and reveal emerging investment trends related to blockchain in both the crypto and equity markets.
This event is tailored for CFA Society Hong Kong and ACCA members including portfolio managers, analysts, accountants, risk managers, and advisors looking to grasp Web3’s impact on finance. Seats are limited for a focused, high-quality experience.
