Lotus Technology Explores Integration of Crypto and Smart Mobility

At the 'Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy' forum in Hong Kong, Lotus Technology Inc. CFO Dr. Daxue Wang delivered a keynote speech on the integration of cryptocurrency with the real economy. According to ChainCatcher, Dr. Wang emphasized that smart mobility is a pioneering vehicle for the smart economy. Lotus, a luxury electric vehicle brand with a 78-year history and listed on Nasdaq, is actively exploring the deep integration of crypto technology with the real economy. He outlined three main directions for this integration. Firstly, the protection of data value through blockchain's immutable and privacy-preserving features, allowing users absolute control over their personal data and enabling trustworthy data circulation and value exchange. Secondly, the release of asset value by exploring efficient circulation and fair trading of assets such as vehicle sales, brand value, intelligent driving technology patents, and global sales networks through Real World Assets (RWA), while also promoting the credible traceability of green travel carbon assets. Thirdly, the co-creation of ecological value by recording driving, charging, and maintenance data through on-chain smart nodes, enabling users to transition from 'car owners' to 'participants in the brand ecosystem.' Dr. Wang noted the current challenges, including compliance implementation, technology adaptation, and ecosystem co-construction, but highlighted the opportunities in open collaboration to make smart mobility a tangible scenario in the smart economy. Lotus aims to collaborate with the crypto ecosystem to achieve the vision of transitioning from purchasing a Lotus car to sharing in the growth value of Lotus Technology.
