From April 28 to 29, 2025, the globally anticipated international summit—Blockchain Disrupt 2025—was held grandly in Dubai, UAE. As a leading global Bitcoin cloud mining platform, HashWhale was invited to participate. Its CEO, Andy Wang, attended and joined the roundtable discussion themed “The Shift in the Crypto Economy,” sharing the stage with industry leaders from top global enterprises to discuss the future of the crypto ecosystem.
The roundtable featured representatives from Binance Labs, Circle, HashKey Capital, Animoca Brands, Coinbase Institutional, and others. Topics covered included the evolution of market structure, institutional trends, DeFi-CeFi integration pathways, Bitcoin financialization, and the direction of regulatory compliance.
About Blockchain Disrupt 2025
This summit, hosted by an internationally renowned blockchain organization, is one of the largest and most influential crypto events of 2025. It brought together over 5,000 participants from more than 60 countries worldwide. The event featured keynotes, closed-door roundtables, innovation showcases, project roadshows, and ecosystem networking, presenting the cutting-edge dynamics and technological achievements of blockchain and Web3.
Driving a Fundamental Shift from "Speculative Participation" to "Value Participation"
In his speech, Andy Wang systematically elaborated on HashWhale’s core view regarding the restructuring of the future crypto economy. He stated that over the past decade, the crypto asset ecosystem has expanded through bull and bear cycles. But what truly pushes it toward the mainstream is deep structural reform. The cloud hashrate track represented by HashWhale is transforming Bitcoin from a closed, hardcore, geek-dominated space into a more open and scalable global asset participation channel.
He further pointed out that the cloud-based and financialized evolution of Bitcoin hashrate is the next major battleground for capturing digital asset value. With HashWhale’s product model, users can obtain stable mining income rights without purchasing mining machines or bearing high barriers such as maintenance, location, electricity cost, and operations. This shift from speculative trading to value holding is a significant milestone in the evolution of the crypto economy from version 1.0 to 2.0.
Redefining Global Participation in Bitcoin: The Strategic Significance of the HashWhale Model
When asked about the unique role of cloud hashrate in today’s market environment, Andy Wang responded that HashWhale does not merely offer mining products—it is building a complete liquidity financial ecosystem around Bitcoin hashrate assets. The platform focuses not only on mining itself but is also committed to hashrate standardization, yield assetization, and contract modeling, enabling global users to participate in the long-term construction of Bitcoin from a financial perspective.
HashWhale’s vision is to enable everyone to participate in Bitcoin through hashrate—not just through speculative buying and selling.
Consensus and Divergence: A Dialogue with Global Web3 Leaders
During the roundtable, Andy Wang engaged in a discussion with several guests from traditional finance backgrounds on the topic of whether institutional entry changes the essence of crypto assets. He emphasized that the entry of institutions does not imply centralized control, but rather the construction of a more stable market infrastructure. From HashWhale’s standpoint, the company welcomes regulation, embraces transparency, and continues to promote audits of its hashrate pools and the openness of its yield models. These are the true underlying values that Web3 should uphold.
This viewpoint received broad recognition from the audience, with many media outlets later reporting that voices from the native Bitcoin space are now being heard by the mainstream world.
Long-Term Vision: Making Hashrate the “Asset Gateway” for Everyone
As the global crypto market enters an era of normalized regulation and deepening institutionalization, HashWhale will continue to focus on technology and trust as its core pillars, building a transparent, fair, and trustless hashrate service system.
We believe that in the near future, hashrate will no longer be an exclusive resource for miners, but will become the infrastructure pass for all users to access the world of digital assets.
HashWhale looks forward to collaborating with global partners to jointly build a more inclusive, decentralized, and value-driven Web3 world in the new era of the hashrate economy.
