Cregis at Consensus Hong Kong 2025: The Future of Web3 Finance Lies in Integration, Not Disruption

Redefining Enterprise-Grade Web3 from Infrastructure to Industry Standards

[Hong Kong, February 21, 2025] Consensus Hong Kong 2025 has successfully concluded, with Cregis emerging as a key player in the discussion on Web3 finance. As a sponsor of the event, Cregis captured industry attention with its pragmatic approach to blockchain infrastructure. During a closed-door session, Shawn Yan, Founder and CEO of Cregis, highlighted a critical misconception: “Web3 finance is often misinterpreted as a radical disruption to traditional finance. However, true innovation lies in seamless integration with existing business frameworks.” This perspective resonated strongly with attendees, reinforcing Cregis’s role as a leading builder in the Web3 financial ecosystem.

Challenging the Hype: Three Misconceptions in Web3 Finance

Throughout the summit, Cregis identified key pitfalls in the current market narrative:

1、Decentralization Dogma - Overemphasis on full decentralization often compromises compliance, efficiency, and user experience in enterprise applications.

2、Speculative-Driven Innovation - 90% of blockchain-based financial protocols primarily serve speculative trading rather than addressing real-world financial needs like cross-border payments and treasury management.

3、The Data Silo Paradox - The fragmentation between public blockchains, consortium chains, and traditional banking systems increases friction in global capital flows.

”True innovation should be as seamless and reliable as electricity,” said Shawn Yan. “Cregis is committed to building secure, enterprise-ready crypto infrastructure that connects traditional finance to the Web3 ecosystem.”

Bridging Web3 Finance with Payments at the Core

At the summit, Cregis introduced its Enterprise Multi-Chain Wallet 2.0 and Next-Gen Payment Solutions, providing businesses with seamless access to Web3 finance.

Cregis also announced a strategic partnership with Bison to enhance cross-border payment management and settlement efficiency. By integrating Cregis’s blockchain payment services with Bison’s global network, the collaboration aims to deliver faster, cost-effective payment solutions.

“Payments are the bridge between traditional finance and Web3,” said Shawn Yan, highlighting Cregis’s commitment to reducing costs and improving transaction transparency.

Enterprise Adoption: Traditional Giants Are Taking Notice

Cregis revealed compelling adoption figures during the summit, noting that among its latest 20 enterprise clients, three are Top 100 multinational corporations, and one is a major traditional financial institution. These companies opted for anonymous Web3 integration to optimize their settlement and payment processes.

”They don’t care whether it’s ‘on-chain’—they just want to reduce costs and improve efficiency,” said Eric, Head of APAC Business at Cregis. “Our comprehensive product suite, from self-custody wallets to payment engines, empowers enterprises to confidently navigate the digital economy.”

Consensus Transformed into Action

As Consensus Hong Kong 2025 concludes, Cregis not only reinforced its leadership in Web3 financial infrastructure but also provided a clear roadmap for enterprises looking to transition from concept to execution. Moving forward, Cregis remains committed to collaborating with industry partners to drive the standardization and compliance of Web3 finance, helping businesses navigate the next phase of the digital economy.
