RootData SG Summit Roundtable Discussion: Product Value, Business Model, and Capital Narrative

ChainCatcher on-site report, Solayer Product Director Joshua Sum, Generative Ventures Partner Will Wang, HashKey Capital Investment Manager Stella Yang, and WEEX CSO Ethan attended the Crypto Capital Markets themed forum "RootData SG Summit" held by ChainCatcher and RootData during TOKEN2049 in Singapore, where they shared insights in the "Product, Business Value, and Capital Narrative" roundtable discussion.

The meeting pointed out that the integration of traditional finance and cryptocurrency is the most important trend currently, and clearer regulations will provide greater development space for the industry. At the same time, they warned against chasing short-term narratives and bubbles (such as crypto AI and robotics), suggesting a focus on building solid infrastructure and real value.

Solayer Product Director Joshua Sum emphasized that hardware is key to blockchain scalability, and the platform has achieved 300,000 transactions per second. He believes institutional funding will be the biggest opportunity in the future but warned builders not to chase short-term narratives and to focus on building a solid foundation.

Generative Ventures Partner Will Wang analyzed from a fintech perspective, pointing out that over the past year, ETFs and publicly listed companies have brought more than $200 billion in liquidity to the crypto market. He predicts the emergence of global native on-chain money market funds in the future, with a scale of $100-200 billion, and strongly warned that crypto AI projects have bubbles, suggesting to either create real AI or real cryptocurrency.

HashKey Capital Investment Manager Stella Yang is optimistic about the development of quantum blockchain, believing that quantum attacks will become a real threat within 5-10 years. She advised founders to maintain financial discipline and have the ability to quickly adapt to market changes. She also pointed out that there is a significant valuation bubble in the robotics industry.

WEEX CSO Ethan shared that the exchange's futures trading volume has grown by 400% over the past year, with a current daily trading volume of $25 billion. He emphasized that clearer regulations are driving more funds into the market and suggested that practitioners focus on long-term value rather than short-term speculation.

The experts at the meeting unanimously agreed that stablecoins, RWA tokenization, and the deep integration of traditional finance and cryptocurrency will be the most important development directions in the next 1-2 years.
