Will Ren Zeping's Visit to Hong Kong for Web3 Carnival and Meeting with HashKey Signal Another Traditional Economist Embracing Web3?

BlockBeats News, April 27th, former Chief Economist of Evergrande Group, Ren Zeping, stated in an article today that he attended the Web3 Carnival in Hong Kong last week and visited institutions such as HashKey and Fosun Wealth, engaging in discussions with officials, entrepreneurs, and others in Hong Kong.

Last week, renowned economist Fu Peng officially joined the Hong Kong-listed company NewFire Group as Chief Economist, marking his strategic shift from traditional macro research to the field of cryptography and digital assets, sparking community discussion.

This series of developments indicates that traditional financial elites are accelerating their transition to the Web3 track, participating in the digital economic ecosystem construction from macro research, asset allocation to industry collaboration. With the regulatory environment gradually clearing up and institutionalization trends strengthening, Web3 is becoming a crucial battleground for a new round of financial innovation. The entry of economists with a deep macro research background is also expected to bring a more mature analytical framework and a long-term capital perspective to the industry.
