On October 27, 2019, the Second (2019) Global Digital Assets Vancouver Summit was grandly held at the Pan Pacific Hotel, a landmark building in downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada. The summit was co-hosted by Hibit Blockchain, ChainUP, Node Capital, and Golden Finance and invited nearly a hundred mainstream blockchain platform founders, technology leaders, experts, scholars, and industry elite representatives to give professional keynote speeches and participate in panels. The event attracted nearly a thousand attendees, making it an unprecedented success.
Ms. Fiona announced the opening of the summit and first expressed her gratitude to the supporters who have cared for her along the way. She thanked the 60 co-chairs of the 2018 Global Digital Assets Vancouver Summit and everyone who participated in the meeting. As a firm believer in blockchain, Fiona expressed her willingness to serve as a bridge between China and Canada in the blockchain field, enabling everyone to reach a consensus of value in the blockchain field. She initiated and joined forces with ChainUP, Node Capital, and Golden Finance, top blockchain companies in China, to build a new blockchain ecosystem and contribute value and strength to everyone in this new field.
Mr. Martin introduced HiBit as a compliant and regulated digital currency exchange in Canada, committed to the investment and management of encrypted digital currencies. Hibit holds a FINTRAC MSB (Money Service Business) license and has stable banking partnerships. Over the past two years, Hibit has joined Huobi as a Super Partner in Canada and conducted blockchain education for 5,000 people. With the core concept of "making owning and using digital assets simpler," Hibit develops products and operates four products in the most practical way:
Mr. Craig Robson, who previously worked in the securities investigation industry, stated that the current regulatory environment for the financing and trading of digital assets is gradually becoming clearer. He also mentioned the importance of overall regulation of digital assets in a globalized and innovative free market.
Ms. Rose Chen stated that since its establishment in 2016, Node Capital has invested in more than 200 blockchain companies, including industry-leading media Golden Finance, the world's leading blockchain technology service provider ChainUP, industry-leading and emerging exchanges such as Huobi, BiKi, and GOKO, as well as market data trading service providers and mining pools such as Contract Emperor and HashFin, completing the full ecological layout from the upstream to the downstream of the industry. ChainUP is a world-leading blockchain technology service provider, currently providing technical services to more than 200 digital asset exchange customers and more than 50 digital asset wallet customers worldwide. ChainUP Capital was established last year and has invested in and supported the development of many blockchain technology companies. Node Capital and ChainUP plan to deeply cultivate the Canadian and North American markets, create high-quality exchanges, blockchain media, and innovative blockchain enterprise ecosystems in North America, and provide users with better trading experiences, technology, and information services. Node Capital and ChainUP jointly initiated and hosted this summit, looking forward to exchanging and cooperating with more outstanding local enterprises.
Mr. Zhong Gengfa pointed out that blockchain is currently in the 3.0 era, empowering traditional industries and realizing the large-scale application and implementation of blockchain technology. Exchanges have natural financial investment attributes and are the first implemented product form of blockchain technology in the financial field. However, due to high technical difficulty and large investment costs, the threshold for successfully opening an exchange is very high. ChainUP can provide enterprises with comprehensive and secure blockchain technology solutions. High-efficiency matching mechanisms such as million/TPS memory matching and asynchronous matching ensure smooth transactions, and multi-data center active-active and internal and external network isolation ensure transaction security and reliability. In addition, he emphasized that liquidity is the core experience of an exchange. To this end, ChainUP launched the BitWind liquidity aggregation platform to create the best depth for customers and improve trading volume and trading experience.
Mr. Maxwell Tan introduced Golden Finance as a one-stop industry service platform integrating blockchain industry news, information, market data, data, encyclopedia, and community. It pursues timely, comprehensive, professional, and accurate information and data and is committed to providing the best products and services for blockchain entrepreneurs and digital currency investors.
Mr. Jeffrey Wernick stated that compared with paper money, Bitcoin is really just "paper" money, and Bitcoin is the result of the failure of the existing financial system. In an inflationary system, Bitcoin is good money, and fiat currency is bad money. Therefore, there will be a phenomenon of "bad money driving out good money." People tend to save good money and spend bad money. So Bitcoin is now a store of value rather than a payment tool.
Mr. Han Feng proposed that in the future, data will be confirmed to everyone through blockchain technology. Elastos will become a data asset platform, and Bitcoin Libra will price personal data, forming a large-scale data wealth era, the scale of which will not be smaller than the capital market scale formed after the privatization of real estate in China.
Bob Summerwill delivered a keynote speech on "Ethereum Classic Outlook." Mr. Bob introduced the future development direction and vision of Ethereum Classic. ETC is the original chain of ETH. The Ethereum Classic team is strong in technical development and is preparing to use its on-chain products to develop communication and exchange between machines on the Internet of Things. The future performance is very promising.
This successful signing will officially promote the development of relevant digital asset businesses of all parties. In the future, the four parties will conduct in-depth cooperation in investment docking, summit planning, technical docking, and resource integration. ChainUP, Node Capital, and Golden Finance plan to deeply cultivate the Canadian and North American markets, create high-quality exchanges, blockchain media, and innovative blockchain enterprise ecosystems in North America, and provide users with better trading experiences, technology, and information services. Hibit Blockchain, as a strategic partner, authorizes ChainUP, Node Capital, and Golden Finance to develop in various aspects such as brand promotion and business cooperation in Canada.
Mr. Adam Cai introduced the development history and competitive advantages of VirgoCX, a Canadian compliant fiat currency exchange. As a Canadian fiat currency exchange headquartered in Toronto, VirgoCX provides Canadian customers with low-cost, convenient, and high-quality digital asset trading services. In addition, as the first exchange to propose a global stablecoin trading center, Adam Cai proposed a global stablecoin payment and a foreign exchange trading market based on stablecoins. The future development of stablecoins will bring new development opportunities to the digital currency market.
Ning Chong proposed that global climate change has affected human survival and development, and climate change has become an environmental issue of universal concern. In order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, XARBON uses blockchain technology to issue digital carbon credits to develop a low-carbon economy, thereby achieving the goal of promoting environmental protection.
Jerry Chine introduced KNØX as an insured digital asset custodian headquartered in Canada, providing digital asset custody services and white-label custody solutions to global financial institutions. KNØX's custody platform combines various cold and hot storage technologies to support financial institutions in optimizing their digital asset custody business. The main advantage of deploying the KNØX custody platform is access to KNØX's proprietary market-leading insurance program. It can provide 100% insurance for the value of assets against theft and loss, including internal collusion risks. Understandably, holders of digital assets are very concerned about the possibility of assets being stolen or lost. Unfortunately, the current market norm is that other custodians can only provide "partial" insurance, which creates a false sense of security for digital asset holders. KNØX is the first (and only) digital asset custodian to provide its customers with "dedicated" insurance for the full value of their custodial assets.
Mr. Edward introduced DSLink, a high-tech product provided by KYC supplier WIBIT, which is a distributed cross-chain self-sovereign identity (DID) management platform dedicated to solving the world's difficult problems of "Who are you?" and "Know Your Customer (KYC)." It conducts proxy re-encryption (PRE) high-tech innovation to complete the user's independent creation of blockchain digital identity and authorize various blockchain applications to produce and use data according to the user's own requirements, and can withdraw authorization at will, truly achieving "identity autonomy, and I control my data."
Afshin Doust introduced the local artificial intelligence practical robot project in Greater Vancouver. Since its establishment in 2013, AIS has been deeply involved in the design, testing, and manufacturing of practical robots using artificial intelligence technology. Since its establishment in 2013, it has had 1 laboratory and has applied for a total of 52 patents, of which 6 have been completed. In 2017, it shifted from pure research and development to multi-product research and development, and has received 27 pre-sale orders, including 21 in the United States and 6 in Europe.
Peng Xianmin pointed out that blockchain is the foundation of the value internet, and the value internet establishes a credible digital economy, and the digital economy changes all aspects of the world. The Canadian Institute of Digital Assets Foundation is a non-profit organization initiated by scholars and entrepreneurs from all over the world engaged in digital technology, digital assets, and digital finance. The Institute provides services for the development of the digital economy in terms of conceptual guidance, theoretical support, innovation experiments, international exchanges, talent cultivation, project incubation, and professional consulting.

In 2018, Hibit held the first (2018) Global Digital Assets Vancouver Summit and unfolded the blueprint of "New Financial Expression." In 2019, Hibit joined forces with more blockchain organizations to hold the Second (2019) Global Digital Assets Vancouver Summit, eager to "build a digital economic port," set off with full force, and continue to move forward. At the end of 2018, when the industry was in a state of hesitation, Hibit aimed to use the most firm attitude and belief to work together to promote the arrival of "the dawn." In 2018, the blockchain industry achieved rapid development, but also encountered bubbles and chaos. This summit continued to focus the discussion on "technology exploration," returning to the bottom layer and not forgetting the original intention. 2019 is the starting point of a new decade for the blockchain industry. At this critical historical juncture, this summit gathered global forces to jointly open up the next ten years.
