Over the years, we have witnessed the rapid evolution of the industry, but we want to think deeper: what kind of Web3 can truly change the world?" —BTCC Chief Operating Officer Alex Hung, during TOKEN2049 in Singapore, accepted an interview. As one of the earliest established cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, BTCC has witnessed the rise and fall of the industry since 2011: from peaks to consolidation, and now it embarks on a new journey. Alex emphasized that the future of Web3 is not only a competition of finance and technology but also a long-term experiment concerning human society and civilization processes. From consolidation to re-launch: a well-considered choice. In the early days of Web3, many exchanges chose rapid expansion and quickly seized the market. In this regard, Alex believes that BTCC adopts a different, more long-term strategy: "We are not blind to opportunities, but we choose to slow down and understand the value of Web3 more comprehensively. Short-term innovations may bring attention, but the real power to traverse bull and bear markets comes from deep-rooted infrastructure and continuous contributions to society." With the rise of NFT, DeFi, DEX, stablecoins, and other trends, many exchanges have achieved rapid results through active layouts. Alex emphasized, "The value of Web3 should not be limited to asset trading or financial innovation, but should inject efficiency, privacy, security, and the spirit of decentralization into the traditional world, promoting the upgrade of economic and social structures. When the industry matures, this kind of infrastructure thinking can truly exert influence." BTCC's choice is to focus on building sustainable foundations rather than chasing short-term hotspots. A new pattern of multi-dimensional exchanges. As giants like Binance and OKX accelerate the expansion of the Web3 ecosystem, some platforms have also seized the market through rapid token listings and DEX layouts. BTCC has chosen a different path. Alex pointed out, "We believe that exchanges should not just be cold financial tools, but should be social infrastructure in the Web3 world. While rapid product iteration is important, BTCC aims to be a panoramic entry point, allowing Web3 to enter education, healthcare, and infrastructure, changing the way humans live daily." Alex further added that BTCC's understanding of Web3 is not about completely severing ties with tradition, but rather integrating new technologies with old systems: "What we aim to do is not to abandon tradition, but to integrate and transform it with Web3, allowing speed, privacy, security, and the spirit of decentralization to be realized in the real world." He also acknowledged the explorations of peers: "Platforms like OKX and Binance are making efforts in infrastructure, which is worthy of the industry's collective learning. But this is far from enough; we hope to jointly take on the responsibility of changing the world." Revival Fund: Bringing change to 44% of the population. In the interview, Alex shared the issue he cares most about: globally, there are still about 44% of the population living on less than $6.5 a day. These countries once thrived but have long remained at an unfair starting point due to missing the waves of industrialization and digitization. Alex revealed for the first time, "I believe that the cross-border nature and transparency of Web3 can bring real change to these places. This is the original intention behind my promotion of the 'Revival Fund'—to invest up to $200 billion over the next 20 years, focusing on digital finance and infrastructure in the third world. At the same time, we hope to invite like-minded peers to join in." Alex emphasized that this is not a short-term product plan but a declaration of responsibility: "If Web3 only stays in asset games, it loses the power to change the world. The concept of this fund is meant to remind the industry: we have a more profound mission ahead." Return of the King: Redefining the role of exchanges. At the end of the interview, Alex summarized his expectations for BTCC: "Exchanges can be just cold tools that only talk about contracts, depth, and fees. But we hope that BTCC will become a bridge, allowing more people to safely and sustainably participate in Web3, and see another possibility for the future world." On the stage of TOKEN2049, BTCC's voice may not be the loudest, but it is distinct and unique: it is not simply competing on features but redefining the role and value of exchanges in the Web3 ecosystem through historical accumulation and social responsibility.
