Huobi Global continued to increase their presence globally and more specifically the States, as well as participating in the uber glamourous San Francisco Blockchain Week.
The San Francisco Blockchain Week recently closed its doors following another successful showing for the event and high-level delegates from Huobi Global was there to make sure to take part in the festivities. The group seeks a new chapter for their business by expanding their journey now into the USA.
While at the Blockchain Week, Huobi Global held several events throughout the week to maximize potential future investment opportunities while exploring the latest development trends. The events are considered a milestone in the most recent history of Huobi, as they marked the very first time the organization has held events in North America.
What is San Francisco Blockchain Week?
The San Francisco Blockchain Week is a yearly blockchain and cryptocurrency related conference held with the platform to provide many of the industries brightest and best to engage with each other and allow a common ground for future investments and developments.
The entire week focused on highlighting the researchers, makers, and builders within the blockchain universe, with an expected attendance well over 5,000 individuals.
In addition to the significant events, there are many smaller events, meetups, dinners, technical discussions and a variety of other public and business opportunities for all stakeholders related to the industry for a great chance to extend their branches of engagement and influence.
Huobi Global Makes a Grand Entrance
To cement their expansion into the US, Huobi sent a group of some of their most important delegates to the event. The group was made up of senior members from their:
➡️Huobi Capital and Huobi Fund — Investment Arms
➡️Huobi Cloud — Blockchain Services and Partnerships Branch
➡️Huobi Next — Digital Asset Exchange Service
As well as enjoying the great festivities during the conference, Huobi Global attended the Blockchain Week, primarily focused on looking for opportunities for co-operation and collaboration.
With their journey into the US being of paramount importance to the business, the event provided an excellent platform for Huobi Global to hold their events and indeed allow for real engagement with individuals from many tiers of the blockchain space.
Events Held By Huobi Global
To mark their first foray into the US, Huobi held three separate events all aimed at exploring new opportunities and discussion of current trends. As stated by the Huobi blog, the events were:
🍹Blockchain Cocktail Night together with JLab and Token Foundry — David Chaum also delivered a keynote speech. Experts, including senior executives of the Huobi Group, discussed the latest development trends and insights within the crypto-space.
📣Pitch Session held by Huobi Capital — Attendees included Huobi Capital’s Managing Director Li Huo, Draper University’s VP Asra Nadeem, TechCrunch’s founder Michael Arrington, DDC Capital’s founder Adam B. Struck, Danhua Capital’s Managing Director Kevin Ding, and Head of Investment of FBG Nathan Li provided live comments on the projects presented.
💻Huobi Silicon Valley Meet-Up together with Danhua Capital — Professor Zhang Shoucheng delivered a keynote speech. Huobi Capital Managing Director Li Huo; Huobi Eco Fund Head of Investment in North America Will Wang; Managing Director of Danhua Capital Kevin Ding; founder of Dragonfly Capital Alexander Pack; and Edith Yeung, partner with 500 Startups, took part in a panel discussion hosted by CoinDesk journalist Leigh Cuen on value-based investment in a bear market.
Huobi intended the three events to spark in-depth discussions on blockchain technology, applications, and innovation and to connect Huobi Capital and Huobi Fund to quality North American projects, thereby creating new value in this industry through investment.
Reasons for Huobi Participation
In July earlier in the year, Huobi announced they would be opening registrations on their new US-based strategic partner platform, HBUS. Following that announcement, it would only seem logical that the Singapore-headquartered platform now held events in the very city where HBUS was created to properly kick-off their expansion into the US.
The move into the US is part of a more overall broader strategy in expanding overseas and diversifying their investments, products, and services for the Huobi Group.
While the operational demands in the US are held to a much stricter level of regulation for all blockchain related products, Huobi’s presence at the San Francisco Blockchain Week and the various holding of events sends a positive message for future potential Huobi investments in American blockchain projects.
The regulatory landscape around the world is on somewhat a shaky foundation in regards to future developments. This is prevalent in America, with the SEC still deciding on the fate of a Bitcoin ETF and the status of ICOs concerning tokens classed as securities among other issues.
Despite this current unsure landscape, Huobi has set the foundations for a significant presence in America. This includes the increasing likelihood of investing in American blockchain projects.
During the Huobi events held throughout the blockchain week, there were several prominent names in attendance with Huobi. Any projects collaborated with Danhua Capital, and Dragonfly Capital would be of particular interest in myself personally investing, should the opportunity arise.
