Login to the Louvre: SFI Chairman Eddie Chong Deepens Europe Web4 and RWA Market Expansion

June in Paris, with the focus on the Louvre. Attracting the attention of the global crypto and traditional finance industries, Proof of Talk 2026, dubbed the "Web3 Davos," has become a key event. It also serves as an important springboard for Eastern infrastructure provider SFI to expand into the European market. Following its first appearance in Zug, Switzerland at the end of May, SFI officially designated Paris as the second core site for its European strategic layout. This time, SFI will participate as a silver partner in Proof of Talk, deeply engaging in this top-tier event.

Currently, the industry is feverishly pursuing two hot tracks: AI Agents and RWA assets. While narratives abound, a fundamental issue is often overlooked: as AI agents gradually develop autonomous trading and self-hosting capabilities, there remains a lack of a compliant, low-friction, scalable underlying payment system—this is precisely the biggest bottleneck for the large-scale implementation of Web4 at this stage. In response, SFI founder Eddie Chong has provided an exclusive solution.

Leveraging this top-tier summit, SFI officially launches its European debut plan: on June 1, as a sponsor, it will attend the Institutional Soirée high-end closed-door dinner, engaging in in-depth dialogue with leading European infrastructure institutions such as Bank Frick, Kite, Octant, and Crouton Digital; from June 2 to 3, as a silver partner, it will be present at the main venue of the Louvre. Eddie Chong will deliver a keynote speech, fully explaining the “stablecoin as the axis, RWA as the fuel, AI as the engine” Web4 closed-loop ecosystem. This debut marks a crucial leap for SFI from being “seen” to being “recognized” within the European institutional circle and precisely addresses three major industry shortfalls—lack of stablecoin consumption scenarios, insufficient liquidity of RWA assets, and no channels for AI Agent deployment—pushing Web4 beyond conceptual hype into standardized financial infrastructure that global institutions can implement and reuse.

Rejecting Fads, Only Filling Shortcomings: Eddie Chong’s Long-term Vision

SFI’s precise grasp of the Web4 trend stems from founder Eddie Chong’s consistent entrepreneurial logic: the long-term value of the crypto industry does not belong to speculators chasing hot trends but to builders who focus on underlying infrastructure and address industry shortcomings.

As a pioneer across multiple tracks—public chain development, crypto payments, RWA asset allocation, AI quantitative trading—Eddie has never blindly followed short-term hot topics for over a decade. In 2015, he independently developed the public chain X Infinity, validating the commercial viability of crypto payment infrastructure. During the market downturn of 2019-2020, he strategically invested in RWA, believing that blockchain must connect on-chain and off-chain assets—today, his personal RWA asset portfolio exceeds $5 billion, with investments in over 400 projects. In 2026, he co-founded SFI, focusing on stablecoin financial infrastructure, targeting the core bottlenecks of Web4 implementation: compliant user entry points, full-spectrum liquidity support, and an integrated ecosystem covering payments, consumption, value-added services, and exit strategies.

Relying on the 200k+ active users and tens of millions in liquidity accumulated through Solulu Club, SFI rapidly built five core modules: Solulu Pay (compliant crypto payment cards and fiat on/off ramps in over 100 countries), Caviar (high-end Web3 e-commerce co-branded with luxury brands like Lamborghini and Fendi), COPX DAO (AI quantitative trading + “trading as mining” mechanism), RWA Incubator (one-stop service for institutional asset on-chain onboarding), and RWA Exchange (compliant secondary market circulation). These five modules are interconnected, covering the entire lifecycle from asset inflow, payment, consumption, value appreciation, to exit. The underlying platform of SFI, the AI value system of COPX DAO, and the physical consumption scenarios of Caviar work in deep synergy, centered around stablecoins, solving three major industry pain points: cold-start liquidity for RWA assets, lack of channels for holding period appreciation, and narrow exit paths. This creates a mature, implementable financial pipeline for integrating AI Agents with real assets.

Looking ahead to the upcoming Paris conference, Eddie Chong states: “Over the past decade, we’ve been doing one thing—laying the most fundamental payment rails for Web4. Now, those rails have reached the gates of the Louvre. I look forward to demonstrating in the Proof of Talk speech that it’s no longer just about visions, but about showing the world the closed-loop ecosystem SFI has already built: 200k real users, stablecoin payment cards, luxury e-commerce, AI-driven value-added services… All of these are not concepts but ready-to-connect financial infrastructures. Paris will be our starting point from ‘builders’ to ‘connectors’.”

Eddie Chong will be a featured speaker, systematically explaining SFI’s underlying architecture of “stablecoins as the axis, RWA as the fuel, AI as the engine”: using compliant stablecoin payment layers to break down on-chain and off-chain value barriers, enabling autonomous settlement, automatic payments, and smart hedging for RWA assets and AI Agents. He will also showcase the tangible results—over 200k active users, Solulu Pay’s global payment network, Caviar’s luxury consumption scenarios, COPX DAO’s quantitative systems—proving to global institutions that Web4 has long moved beyond the conceptual stage, and SFI’s closed-loop ecosystem is the most mature, implementable example today.

Starting from Paris: Making Web4 More Than Just Future Narratives

In 2026, the wave of integration among stablecoins, RWA, and AI is unstoppable. Industry competition is shifting from superficial scenario innovation to a battle over underlying infrastructure. Whoever controls the foundational payment layer of Web4 will hold the discourse power over the future of global value connectivity.

In June, lights illuminate the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. At this top-tier gathering of decision-makers managing $18 trillion in assets, SFI will showcase its already operational, replicable, and implementable Web4 closed-loop ecosystem, with the dual identity of silver partner and pioneer, builder, innovator. The team is in full sprint—refining speech content, coordinating resources for the closed-door dinner, and preparing every brand presentation at the Louvre. In June, Paris will send out its loudest message: it’s not just about trend talk, but about delivering usable infrastructure.

Historically, Web4 was just a “future” in industry discussions; from now on, it will take root in compliant soil, leveraging stablecoin infrastructure to truly land in financial markets, empowering billions of users and intelligent agents. The era belonging to SFI has already begun, and the new Web4 epoch for the entire industry is emerging from Paris to the world.
