According to ME News, on April 23 (UTC+8), Feng Xiao, Chairman of Wanxiang Blockchain and Chairman & CEO of HashKey Group, delivered the opening address at the 2026 Hong Kong Institutional Digital Wealth Management Summit, as reported live by Foresight News. He stated that human beings created binary programming languages for computers to enable machines to understand, restructure, and reconstruct the physical world—essentially discretizing the continuous physical world into the smallest computable units. AI tokens are a continuation of this logic, fundamentally breaking down unstructured data such as language and images into the smallest semantic units—what he termed “the atomization of information.” In blockchain, tokens are the smallest programmable units of value created through cryptography and distributed ledgers—what he called “the atomization of value.” Both share the same underlying logic. The integration of AI and blockchain is essentially a form of machine alignment: blockchain with smart contracts enables probabilistically generated outcomes to be executed with finality and determinism, while token economies can address AI hallucinations through incentive and penalty mechanisms. Since AI itself lacks consumption capacity, preferences, or needs, the value it generates can be distributed via tokens. Feng Xiao concluded by saying that, from binary 0s and 1s, to AI’s semantic atoms, to blockchain’s value atoms, humanity is continuously decomposing the real world into its smallest units so that machines can understand, interpret, reconstruct, and allocate it. This is not merely a technological advancement—it is a leap forward in the形态 of economic civilization. (Source: Foresight News)

Summary
Xiao Feng, Chairman of Wanhui Blockchain and CEO of HashKey Group, spoke at the Hong Kong Institutional Digital Wealth Management Summit on April 23, 2026. He emphasized that blockchain and AI operate on similar principles to atomize information and value. According to Xiao Feng, blockchain enhances value management through cryptography and distributed systems, while AI organizes data through semantics. He argued that integrating AI with blockchain enables machines to act with finality, and token economics can correct AI errors. He described this shift as a major milestone in economic civilization, not merely a blockchain news story.
