The website provided the first fiat trading pairs such BTC/USD, ETH/USD, and USDT/USD and offers direct bank transfers in both USD and HKD.

Among the important speakers who discussed the changing state of the Web3 sector in Hong Kong were Norman Chan Tak-lam, GBS, JP, Chairman of the Hong Kong Web3 Association, and Joseph Chan Ho-lim, JP, Undersecretary for Financial Services and the Treasury.
