On May 29, 2025, the “China International Finance Forum · Gulf Financial Cooperation Roundtable” was grandly held at the Conrad Hotel in Dubai, UAE. The event brought together political and business leaders, financial institutions, and tech innovators from China and the Gulf region to explore cross-border investment security, regional cooperation, and new financial ecosystems under the theme “Building an Oasis of Certainty Amidst Uncertainty.”
As a leading enterprise in the Web3.0 and Brand RWA sectors, MINAX Founder and CEO Mr. Danny was invited to attend and participate in the opening roundtable “The Future of the Web3.0 Ecosystem.” He engaged in dialogue with Liu Xiaoying (Founder of Eagle Fund), Dermot Mayes (UAE CEO of Klickl International Group), and Co-founder of VDX, discussing topics such as institutional capital entry, regulatory pathways in crypto markets, crypto asset investment, and wealth management—together exploring policy coordination and market opportunities in the Web3.0 era.
Danny pointed out that Web3 has gradually entered the mainstream thanks to three key drivers: First, continued breakthroughs in blockchain infrastructure, such as Layer2 and sharding, significantly improve system performance and enable high-frequency trading and complex applications. Second, the acceleration of global regulatory frameworks, like the EU’s MiCA and the U.S. GENIUS Act, provide clarity for institutional capital, prompting asset managers like BlackRock and Fidelity to include crypto in their portfolios. Third, in an increasingly uncertain macro environment, crypto assets have outperformed many traditional assets, enhancing their investment appeal.

“The brand asset exchange we are building at MINAX serves as a critical bridge between the real economy and the on-chain world,” Danny noted. “We aim to digitize and tokenize high-quality physical brands, giving them Web3-recognized financial attributes while retaining their real-world value. This creates a new class of practical and financially viable on-chain assets.”
He also highlighted the challenge of fragmented and inconsistent global regulatory standards, which increases uncertainty for cross-border innovation. Danny called for a more open approach to compliance, encouraging global collaboration to build a stable, transparent, and sustainable Web3 ecosystem.

Danny also shared MINAX’s practical experience in digitizing global physical brands and advancing brand RWAs. He stated: “The core of Web3.0 is trust and connection. Through our on-chain brand exchange model, MINAX aims to ensure brand value is discovered fairly, traded freely, and appreciated sustainably. We look forward to long-term partnerships with more high-quality institutions in the Middle East to jointly create a more open and trustworthy future financial ecosystem.”
Liu Xiaoying emphasized Dubai’s pragmatic and flexible digital asset regulations, which have attracted over 200 exchanges to set up operations. This influx of talent and capital has solidified the city’s strategic position in the global Web3 landscape. Notably, Dubai’s crypto licenses are widely recognized and respected globally. As a Hong Kong native, he hopes the Hong Kong government will adopt more forward-looking and practical regulatory policies to better support the Web3 industry.

Dermot Mayes, UAE CEO of Klickl International Group, noted that the Middle East, especially the UAE, is rapidly becoming a compliance pioneer in digital assets. Dubai’s VARA (Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority) provides a clear and future-oriented regulatory framework that offers a highly attractive business environment for crypto firms. “Policymakers in the Middle East are striking a balance between regulation and innovation, ensuring investor protection while fostering technological progress,” he said.

A VDX Co-founder remarked that Hong Kong, as a leading Asian financial hub, has become more proactive toward Web3 and virtual assets in recent years, launching licensing regimes and pilot programs to attract global capital. “With its mature financial infrastructure and legal system, Hong Kong is well-positioned to lead in Asia’s compliance race if it continues to align regulations with real industry needs,” he said.

The forum also included high-level discussions on cross-border investment security and Gulf financial cooperation opportunities, further highlighting the strategic potential of China-Arab capital and tech integration. MINAX’s participation demonstrated its global vision and execution as a Web3 brand infrastructure builder and offered a new paradigm for digital finance and real-world economy integration between China and the Gulf states.
Going forward, MINAX will continue to advance the brand RWA system, promoting the on-chain circulation of real-world assets and connecting the digital with the tangible to solidify the value foundation of Web3.
