As a premier institutional barometer for Europe’s Web4 industry, the Crypto Valley Conference has maintained a high‑bar, non‑traffic‑driven, elite‑circle nature since its inception in 2018. It brings together global regulators, traditional capital, and top‑tier crypto projects, profoundly shaping the trajectories of stablecoins, RWA, and decentralised AI. Being invited to deliver a keynote on the CVC main stage is itself an authoritative recognition of a project’s comprehensive strength and its founder’s standing.
On May 28, 2026 – the main forum day – Eddie Chong, Chairman & CEO of SFI Group, became the undisputed focal point. Before a packed hall, he confronted two persistent industry ailments: a broken trust system and paralysed liquidity. Unlike many who recite lofty visions, Eddie presented SFI’s already commercialised Web4 closed‑loop infrastructure – backed by 200,000+ engaged users, a compliant payment network spanning 100+ countries, real transaction flow from co‑branded luxury e‑commerce (Lamborghini, Fendi), and multi‑jurisdiction licenses (US MSB, Canada MSB, etc.). He proved to Europe’s top institutional circles that a mature, deployable Web4 infrastructure is no longer a promise – it is here. After his talk, numerous DeFi founders, top‑tier VCs, and regulatory advisors proactively approached him to explore collaboration. Combined with the Zug cantonal government’s new RWA regulatory guidelines released the same day, the industry’s direction has fundamentally shifted: the era of hype‑driven speculation is over; compliant, infrastructure‑focused players now define the competitive landscape. This appearance propelled SFI into the ranks of Web4 core co‑builders recognised by both European officialdom and capital circles.
I. Keynote: Cutting Through the Hype, Confronting the Trust & Liquidity Gridlock
Amidst a sea of blue‑sky presentations, Eddie Chong’s talk – “Back to the Fundamentals: The Crisis of Trust – Why Liquidity is Dying and How We Must Evolve” – stood out sharply. He pinpointed the chronic ailments of three golden tracks: RWA assets going on‑chain only to see liquidity dry up; stablecoin issuance lacking real‑world spending scenarios; and AI Agents evolving fast but without compliant payment rails.
In his view, the problem is not technical – it is the inevitable result of a systemic trust breakdown: fragmented global regulations, institutional silos, and user concerns over on‑chain asset safety. Capital hesitates to enter, funds struggle to settle, and assets fail to circulate – the greatest obstacle to Web4 at scale.
He then laid out SFI’s holistic solution. Web4 is not a simple upgrade of Web3; the core difference lies in a shift of economic participants. AI Agents are evolving from tools into independent economic entities that can hold assets, execute transactions, and engage in consumption autonomously. Yet most existing infrastructure is still designed for human users, failing to meet the unique needs of intelligent agents.
Filling this gap, SFI has built a full‑stack closed‑loop infrastructure with “stablecoins as the axle, RWAs as fuel, and AI as the engine”:
- Solulu Club – 200,000+ engaged active users, providing the liquidity bedrock.
- Solulu Pay – compliant payment network across 100+ countries, enabling two‑way fiat‑crypto flows.
- Caviar – co‑branded luxury e‑commerce (Lamborghini, Fendi) delivering real‑world stablecoin spending.
- COPX DAO – AI‑driven quantitative trading and value‑added engine.
- RWA Incubator & Exchange – covering asset tokenisation, incubation, management, and exit.
“Liquidity is not created by marketing hype. It comes from real transaction demand and trusted asset backing. Once you have real users, verifiable flows, and audited compliance, capital will naturally flow to your ecosystem.” Eddie’s incisive argument struck a chord. After his speech, a European DeFi lead remarked: “The industry is flooded with RWA narratives, but Eddie is one of the few who transparently puts user numbers, payment coverage, e‑commerce flow, and licence progress on the table. That transparency itself is the most scarce trust asset in Web4 today.”
Following his keynote, Eddie moved to the VIP private networking area, where he held in‑depth, small‑group discussions with licensed custodians from Switzerland, Germany, and France, cross‑border payment projects, and decentralised AI teams. The conversations moved from macro to micro, focusing on local European operations, compliant custody, stablecoin settlement, and AI Agent payment interfaces. Several institutions expressed concrete follow‑up interest, covering compliant custody, DeFi cross‑border settlement, and co‑development of AI on‑chain payment modules.
II. On‑Site Interview: Returning to Infrastructure Fundamentals, Rejecting Hype‑Driven Competition
During the conference, Eddie gave an exclusive interview to an on‑site correspondent. He dissected Web4’s challenges from three angles: his observations, the industry’s root problems, and Europe’s compliance landscape – and shared SFI’s mid‑ to long‑term strategy.
On RWA liquidity shortages:
“The biggest bottleneck is not technology – it’s the trust deficit created by years of hype. Too many projects prioritise marketing over delivery, failing to produce real business and a closed‑loop ecosystem. Institutional capital remains on the sidelines. To break the deadlock, we must drop the noise and restore confidence with real users, recurring transaction flow, and a robust compliance framework.”
On Europe and the Zug RWA policy:
“Switzerland is the world’s best testing ground for institutional‑grade RWA adoption. Clearer rules will accelerate the shake‑out – pure concept projects will be eliminated, while full‑stack infrastructure platforms will thrive. The winners in Web4 will be those who can integrate compliant on‑ramps, stablecoin consumption, asset appreciation, and RWA issuance and exit into one seamless loop. That is exactly what SFI has been building for years.”
III. Industry Recap & Conclusion: Under the Policy Inflection, SFI Completes Its Global Identity Leap
On the same afternoon as Eddie Chong’s keynote, the Zug cantonal government officially released its landmark RWA policy statement, defining issuance thresholds, compliant circulation standards, and cross‑border settlement rules for tokenised assets. As one of the few industry leaders invited to witness the announcement, Eddie engaged directly with the policy‑making team, discussing the details in depth. In his view, the statement is not just a local Swiss regulation – it is the starting gun for a global RWA compliance race. The industry’s competitive logic has already changed: compared to concept marketing, the ability to deeply understand and adapt to regulatory rules will be the core differentiator for capturing the next cycle.
May 28, 2026, will be recorded as a truly memorable day for Web4. On the CVC stage, SFI demonstrated to the global community that a “stablecoins + RWA + AI Agents” closed‑loop model is no longer a fantasy – it is a mature, commercialised reality. The Zug RWA policy, meanwhile, fills the European compliance gap for RWA, establishing the first actionable benchmark for the global tokenised asset industry.
Looking at today’s market, the era of unbridled speculation is over. What is scarce is not grand visions, but underlying infrastructure that is live, interoperable, and profitable. Moving forward, SFI will continue to deepen its core tracks – improving stablecoin real‑world spending, efficient RWA asset circulation, and AI Agent financial payments – and actively participate in the global Web4 compliance build with solid infrastructure capabilities. Eddie Chong concluded: “Compliance is the baseline, infrastructure is the foundation. The future of Web4 does not belong to storytellers – it belongs to those who patiently build the underlying conduits.”
