Toronto, a witness to the history of cryptocurrency. Ten years ago, Vitalik Buterin gave birth to Ethereum here.

Ten years later, at the Canadian Cryptocurrency Week (August 7-17, 2024), dozens of events on themes such as blockchain, Web3, DeFi, digital assets, AI, games, art, VR, etc. were held intensively in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and other places.

The highlight was the Blockchain Futurist Conference, which is Canada's largest Web3 event and has been held in Toronto for 6 consecutive years. As the official sponsor of the conference, WEEX's VP Andrew Weiner delivered a keynote speech at the WonderFi main venue, expounding on WEEX's vision, the platform currency WXT, and the innovation of WEEX Launchpool (now WE-Launch), and invited Funk, the market consultant of partner K9 Finance DAO ($KNINE), and Calvin Weight, the co-founder of Rain Coin ($RAIN), to interact with guests.

At the same time, outside the venue, Andrew turned into a "social bull" and had in-depth exchanges with many project leaders, crypto KOLs, and community leaders, bringing us exciting cutting-edge dynamics and first-hand insights.

Integrate Shibarium and deeply integrate with the SHIB ecosystem

The most impressive thing about this bull market cycle is MEME Summer. Shiba Inu ($SHIB), the OG of MEME, is the main sponsor of all previous Blockchain Futurist Conferences. Its L2 project Shibarium was also announced at the last Blockchain Futurist Conference. This year, Shiba Inu sponsored six or seven projects in the SHIB/Shibarium ecosystem. Therefore, this Canadian Cryptocurrency Week has become a large offline gathering of ShibArmy. As an important partner of the SHIB community, WEEX Exchange also took this opportunity to have in-depth exchanges with representatives of Shibarium, K9 Finance, LTD Token and other project parties.

K9 Finance market consultant Funk introduced that as the official partner of Shiba Inu, what K9 Finance is doing is to become the Lido Finance of the Shibarium chain, providing transaction volume and TVL for Shibarium L2, and providing benefits to users who lock the chain's Gas token ($BONE). Given that Shibarium has been integrated into the WEEX platform, K9 Finance will work with WEEX to help ShibArmy build Shibarium.

"Next, what I personally look forward to most is the real-time liquidity pledge and derivatives that will be launched on Shibarium." Frank Adams from the K9 Finance team revealed to WEEX.

LTD TOKEN (Living The Dream) aims to build a decentralized digital advertising platform that connects Web2 and Web3 advertising through the Dream Advertising platform to provide seamless advertising management and monetization for traditional and blockchain businesses.

According to the person in charge of the project, LTD Token is a proud member of the Shiba Inu community. Its establishment can be traced back to the birth of Shiba. It is one of the largest advertising platforms and can even be said to be one of the largest contributors to the Shiba community. LTD Token builds a bridge between Web2 and Web3, providing a secure advertising platform for both. LTD has just successfully completed IDO and is looking forward to the upcoming TGE, and will be listed on WEEX soon.

Andrew introduced that WEEX is committed to becoming a leading altcoin contract trading platform, and currently has launched several Shiba ecological projects such as $SHIB, $KNINE, Roaring Kitty ($ROAR), Bone ShibaSwap ($BONE), and Bad Idea AI ($BAD). WEEX has designed a special listing package for all projects from ShibArmy and has integrated L2 Shibarium. It will fully provide traffic and resources to support more ShibArmy projects to meet 3 million WEEX users.

In June this year, Shiba Inu's consultants listed WEEX as the preferred CEX platform for Shibarium hackathon and qualified new projects in the global developer community. WEEX announced that it will select high-quality targets from thousands of projects on the Shibarium chain for Launchpool and coin listing cooperation. At the same time, K9 Finance has officially become a channel provider of WEEX Exchange, helping WEEX expand its North American market.

Deeply Cultivate North America, Link East and West Web3

In addition to ShibArmy, Andrew has also communicated and cooperated with local institutions such as Trillion Capital, as well as crypto KOLs such as Oscar Ramos and Roger Dat.

Business Financial Network host Roger Dat said that the reason he was engaged in social media was that during Covid-19, he realized that the financial field needed more people of color to participate. He believes that there are many trust issues in this field, and platforms like WEEX can really solve some core problems.

Coincidentally. Rain Coin co-founder Calvin Weight also said in a public speech that Rain Coin has been committed to finding a global audience for its tokens, and WEEX is such an entry point, whose users are mainly concentrated overseas, such as China, Vietnam, India and other countries and regions, and can show $RAIN tokens to an excellent global audience. Anyone who is not currently marketing to or connecting with these audiences in their native language is cutting off a portion of the entire market, an issue so pressing for the types of projects and services that are innovating within the industry.

We know that although the North American market is at the forefront of cryptocurrency technology and regulatory innovation, its regulatory policies are not friendly to overseas trading platforms and there are strict entry barriers. WEEX has dual MSB licenses in the United States and Canada. It is one of the few overseas platforms that is not restricted in North America and the number one platform for the number of supported trading pairs available to North American users.

Therefore, WEEX has become a bridge connecting the East and the West, connecting North American projects with users in emerging markets, and leveling regional differences. WEEX's initiatives such as integrating the Shiba ecosystem, introducing local distributors, and participating in offline activities and exchanges can all make this "bridge" play a better role.

In May this year, WEEX also participated in the Austin Consensus Conference (Consensus 2024), and will participate in more offline events such as ETH Miami 2024.

The host of Canadian Crypto Week, Mahyar, co-founder of the Blockchain Futurist Conference, ETHToronto and ETHWomen, told WEEX that the scale and influence of the Blockchain Futurist Conference are growing, which can be seen from the participating companies, projects and tokens this year. On the one hand, there are typical institutional companies such as Coinbase and WEEX, and on the other hand, there is the full army of ShibArmy. Different types of projects and innovations make the crypto movement more legitimate and bring endless surprises to the market.

He also revealed that the 2025 Blockchain Futurist Conference will be held twice, and will expand to Miami, USA in addition to the base camp in Toronto. "Miami, as one of the world's cryptocurrency centers, needs some very cool projects and very cool events. WEEX is an important partner of ours, and we look forward to meeting there next year."
