On April 20, 2026, CoinUp successfully hosted its CoinUp Jazz Night at The Murray Hotel in Hong Kong. Held from 19:00 to 23:00, the event brought together traders, project teams, investors, industry KOLs, and media from around the world for an evening that blended live jazz, industry dialogue, and high-value networking against the backdrop of Victoria Harbour.

As a steadily growing global cryptocurrency exchange, CoinUp continues to strengthen its core capabilities in liquidity provision, product innovation, and global ecosystem expansion. This Jazz Night not only served as a showcase of the platform’s brand strength, but also marked a key step in deepening its presence in Hong Kong’s Web3 ecosystem and connecting with global industry resources.

High-Quality Participants Driving Meaningful Industry Connections

The event saw strong demand, with over 1,000 registrations and more than 1,500 attendees on-site. Peak attendance exceeded 600 people, with the venue reaching full capacity at multiple points throughout the night.

Participants included builders, traders, VCs, project teams, KOLs, and leading media representatives, forming a diverse and well-structured Web3 networking environment. In a relaxed and open setting, industry insights, trading experience, and collaboration opportunities flowed efficiently, elevating the event beyond casual networking into a platform for real business connections.

From Macro to Structure: A Deep Dive into “Repricing” in Crypto

CoinUp Founder Queenie delivered the opening keynote, emphasizing that the platform is navigating not only short-term price volatility, but also a fundamental restructuring of the industry’s value system.

She reiterated CoinUp’s long-term vision of “one account to trade global crypto and financial markets,” and highlighted the platform’s commitment to building core infrastructure for the next generation of digital finance through integrated product and ecosystem development.

On the topic of technological evolution, Queenie shared her perspective that AI is not a temporary trend, but a foundational force driving industry transformation. As AI continues to integrate with blockchain technology, the industry is evolving from a Web3 paradigm centered on information display toward a Web4 era defined by intelligent collaboration and autonomous decision-making.

In this transition, AI will play a critical role across the entire value chain, including trading, risk management, asset allocation, and data processing, fundamentally improving efficiency and decision accuracy.

Based on this vision, CoinUp is actively advancing the implementation of AI capabilities across its platform. Through tools such as CPAI+, users gain access to real-time market insights, strategy support, and risk management features, enabling more informed decision-making and execution in increasingly complex market conditions.

At the same time, Queenie emphasized that security and compliance remain foundational pillars of long-term growth. CoinUp has established a global asset reserve system exceeding $3 billion (Proof of Reserves), along with a $50 million user protection fund, providing multi-layered security for user assets. The platform has also made steady progress in global compliance, completing registrations in North America and advancing regulatory expansion in key markets such as Dubai and Europe.

Product Vision: Building a Complete Financial Lifecycle

CoinUp’s Product Lead further elaborated on the platform’s direction, noting that exchanges are no longer limited to trade execution, but must support the full lifecycle of user assets, from acquisition and management to real-world application.

To address this, CoinUp is building a unified platform structured around Earn, Spend, and Track. On the earning side, the platform offers spot trading, derivatives, and diversified yield opportunities, while expanding into broader asset classes through the integration of TradeFi and crypto markets. Users can access stocks, forex, and commodities within a single platform.

CoinUp is also exploring predictive markets, enabling users to express views and trade on macro events, policy changes, and real-world developments, further expanding participation models.

On the usage side, the U Card bridges digital assets with real-world spending, allowing users to seamlessly convert crypto into everyday purchasing power. Meanwhile, CPAI+ functions as an AI-powered financial assistant, supporting market analysis, trading decisions, and portfolio management.

Together, these capabilities form a comprehensive closed-loop ecosystem, covering trading, usage, and asset management.
