Yi He at HK Web3 Festival: All Global Finance Will Eventually Run on Blockchain

Binance co-founder Yi He, speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026, outlined three strategic priorities: the intersection of AI with blockchain and finance, which she described as an unmissable moment in human history; organizational efficiency and talent development as Binance scales beyond founder-driven growth; and the deepening convergence of crypto with traditional finance. Yi said future global foreign exchange transactions will migrate to blockchain, displacing the SWIFT system, and that asset trading will eventually operate on a 24/7 global basis mirroring today's crypto markets, as the broader financial industry enters a period of sweeping, accelerating transformation.
