Monera Digital CEO Discusses AI's Role in Smart Economy at Hong Kong Forum

At the 'Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy' forum held in Hong Kong, Monera Digital's Co-founder and CEO, Gongye Feng, delivered a keynote speech on AI's role in private banking for the smart economy. According to ChainCatcher, Feng highlighted that the demand for digital assets remains, but market confidence in capital entry methods has waned since 2022. Monera Digital positions itself as an AI-driven private bank for the smart economy, focusing on using AI not as a trader but as an accelerator to shorten research, testing, and iteration cycles from months to days. Feng emphasized the importance of institutionalized risk control, outlining Monera's four defense lines: source constraint on exposure and collateral, automated clearing and margin management, complete client asset segregation, and maintaining liquidity buffers to avoid maturity mismatches. AI acts as a 24/7 digital Chief Risk Officer, transitioning from passive monitoring to proactive alerts. Monera's service model rejects being a purely technical platform, advocating for 'anti-AI illusion' where AI enhances optimization and efficiency, while trust, responsibility, and relationship continuity remain human-led. Feng believes that for crypto assets to become truly configurable, they must be translated into clear, continuous, and trustworthy private banking services.
