MANILA, Philippines—On June 10-11, the SMX Convention Center in Manila was the epicenter of blockchain innovation as it hosted Philippine Blockchain Week 2025, attracting a record-breaking crowd of over 10,000 attendees, including prominent industry leaders, policymakers, tech influencers, and blockchain enthusiasts.
Fred King, known widely in blockchain circles as CryptoSnake, delivered one of the event’s standout presentations. His keynote, titled “The Future of Blockchain Tech: 2035,” highlighted significant advancements and practical applications shaping blockchain’s future trajectory.
Snake, with a decade of extensive blockchain experience ranging from ICOs and NFTs to crypto media startups and DeFi experiments, spotlighted key blockchain projects like Tangem Pay, Propy, Securitize, Centrifuge, Odysee, and Audius, illustrating how these ventures could significantly impact sectors like finance, real estate, and entertainment.
Emphasizing blockchain’s role in financial inclusion, Fred discussed Tangem Pay’s innovation—a self-custodial Visa card integrated with cold wallet technology, particularly vital for unbanked communities in the Philippines and beyond.
In asset tokenization, King referenced his early involvement with Propy’s pioneering real estate tokenization, highlighting how established platforms like Securitize and Centrifuge have already tokenized billions in assets, predicting that widespread adoption of such technology will soon become standard.
Addressing content creation, Fred King showcased decentralized platforms like Odysee and Audius, emphasizing their ability to deliver equitable monetization and safeguard against censorship, potentially disrupting traditional media giants.
Additionally, CryptoSnake contributed to the ongoing Bitcoin versus Gold debate, positioning Bitcoin as a superior, transparent, and finite digital asset compared to gold’s traditional constraints.
The event featured other notable speakers, including leading entrepreneurs, top policymakers, and influential tech figures, reinforcing its status as a premier blockchain gathering.
Building upon his impactful keynote in Manila, Fred King has been confirmed as a featured speaker at the Blockchain Campus Conference, scheduled for August 25-30 in Batangas, promising to further enhance blockchain education and engagement within the community.
