In April 2025, the OpenFi APAC Development Center officially landed in Hong Kong. To celebrate this milestone, a grand opening event will be held on April 21, inviting global communities and industry builders to join the occasion. This marks not only an expansion in physical space but also an important leap from on-chain finance to the real world. OpenFi is fulfilling its promise to “link the future” by connecting users, scenarios, and the entire financial innovation ecosystem.

Hong Kong: A New Hub for On-Chain Finance

As Asia's most international financial city, Hong Kong has been actively advancing the integration of Web3 industries and compliant finance in recent years. OpenFi has chosen Hong Kong as the strategic bridgehead for its APAC expansion, recognizing the local policy openness and actively embracing regulation amid the global compliance trend, taking a key step in deepening ecosystem collaboration.

The newly established OpenFi APAC Development Center is located in the heart of Hong Kong, covering nearly 3000 square meters. It will host a variety of functions, including conference reception, community co-creation, ecosystem matchmaking, and institutional services, becoming an important offline node for OpenFi's global strategy.

Multi-Functional Space: Building the "Third Space" for On-Chain Finance

Traditional finance has exchanges and bank branches, while Web3 finance requires decentralized “offline entry points.” The OpenFi APAC Development Center is built based on this concept: it serves as a DAO co-creation space for governance and development and as an ecosystem hub for dialogue and connection.

In the future, the center will regularly host small developer hackathons, protocol roundtables, DeFi research closed-door meetings, and cross-chain ecosystem matchups, providing comprehensive services for OpenFi’s global partners and community members.

"On-Chain Finance, Linking the Future" Global Community Hong Kong Event to Kick Off

To celebrate the opening of the APAC Development Center, OpenFi will host a three-day, two-night offline in-depth exploration event starting on April 21. The event is open for global registration, inviting developers, node members, partner representatives, and DAO governors to join in Hong Kong.

The event will include the following sessions:

• On-site exploration of the center space and operational mechanisms

• Closed-door group discussions on the evolution of the OpenFi Bond protocol

• In-depth exchanges with local compliance agency representatives in Hong Kong

• Evening ecosystem networking reception to promote multi-party cooperation

This event is not just a gathering, but a journey of trust reconstruction between on-chain and off-chain, community and institutions.

From Virtual to Physical: OpenFi's Globalization Accelerates

OpenFi is dedicated to building a cross-chain, multi-asset, and sustainable decentralized financial system. The continuous evolution of this system relies not only on the constant upgrade of code and protocols but also on global resource collaboration, community engagement, and connections to the real world.

The establishment of the APAC Development Center marks OpenFi's official entry into the new phase of "on-chain governance + offline connections." In the future, we will continue to set up more global nodes in cities like Singapore, Dubai, and Zurich, making on-chain finance accessible and bringing Web3 into the daily lives of every builder.

Join the On-Chain Exploration Journey Toward the Future

OpenFi is not only building a protocol but also creating a global financial ecosystem network for the new era. We sincerely invite all those interested in on-chain finance transformation to visit Hong Kong, step into our offline space, and discuss the future with the global community.
