Last week, the Cables team landed in Hong Kong for Consensus 2025, and the energy was unreal. The main event was packed—a perfect mix of DeFi-native projects, institutional crypto players, and builders pushing the space forward. From panels to private discussions, the biggest takeaway was clear: crypto is maturing, and the appetite for real financial infrastructure has never been stronger.
The week kicked off at MetaEraHK’s event, where the room was filled with Web3 founders, entrepreneurs, and investors, all diving deep into what’s next for DeFi. Conversations ranged from bridging TradFi capital to on-chain markets to the evolution of RWAs and liquid staking. The energy carried over to our own co-hosted side event, where Cables brought together top crypto leaders for a night of idea-sharing, networking, and in-depth discussions on DeFi’s biggest gaps. The industry is shifting, and the demand for capital-efficient, revenue-generating models is growing fast.
Midweek, Co-Founder Matt Miller took the stage to break down the core problems Cables is solving with RWA-backed LSTs and our Perp DEX. The crowd was engaged—people are starting to see the real potential of bringing yield-generating assets on-chain and giving them utility in trading and liquidity markets.
Matt broke down the fundamentals on how to build sustainable financial infrastructure that institutions and everyday traders can actually use. As Matt put it, “Our mission is to bring the traditional futures and FX RWA markets to crypto LSTs and perps, unlocking a $7T a day market currently stuck in an old-school TradFi system.”
Beyond the speaking engagements, our team hit the ground running at DNA House, connecting with early-stage partners, founders, and investors over some great conversations (and a few drinks). The networking at Consensus was next level—whether at official sessions or impromptu meetups, the right people were there, and the excitement around DeFi’s next chapter was undeniable.
And of course, Consensus itself delivered. The event floor was buzzing, the conversations were high signal, and it was clear that DeFi is moving past the hype cycle and into something real. No fluff, no gimmicks—just builders focused on bringing forward the next stages in Web3.
With new partnerships, deeper conversations, and a ton of momentum coming out of Hong Kong, we’re more fired up than ever. The shift from speculation to sustainable on-chain finance is happening, and Cables is leading the charge. Stay tuned—big announcements are just around the corner.
Next stop: ETH Denver! The team is on the ground this week, so keep an eye out for the Cables team if you’re there—big things coming.
