Huobi.com won the "Best Entrepreneurial Team" award at the Shanghai Internet Entrepreneurship Summit

On August 22, the 2015 Shanghai Internet Entrepreneurship Summit was held in Shanghai. Huobi.com co-founder Du Jun, as the only representative of the Bitcoin industry, gave a keynote speech at the conference, sharing with the guests the current development and regulatory status of Bitcoin, as well as the three key points of Huobi becoming the industry leader. Huobi.com also won the "Best Entrepreneurial Team" award from the conference.

Du Jun said that since its launch in September 2013, Huobi.com has maintained rapid growth in daily transaction volume and turnover. Six months after its launch, it created a peak of 1.5 billion daily transaction volume and 350,000 transactions, setting a global record for Bitcoin transactions. So far, Huobi.com's cumulative transaction volume has reached 138.2 billion. From 2013 to 2014, Huobi's rapid growth attracted angel round investments from Zhen Fund and famous angel investor Dai Zhikang. Three months later, it received a US$10 million round A investment from Sequoia Capital, a top venture capital firm on Wall Street.

Du Jun believes that the reason why Huobi.com has grown to be the first in the industry in a short period of time is that Huobi.com dares to break the inherent rules in the industry and is the first trading platform in the industry to propose a permanent fee-free spot transaction; second, Huobi.com always puts user service first. Based on the global trading characteristics of Bitcoin, Huobi.com is the first trading platform to launch 7*24 hours customer service and VIP level system; third, it continues to extend the industry latitude based on its core advantages and pursues extreme excellence in industry segments. At present, Huobi is in a leading position in the industry in terms of Bitcoin basic services and related financial instrument development. In order to promote the overall development of the industry, Huobi.com has worked closely with Tsinghua University PBC School of Finance to launch China's first "Digital Asset Research Project". Huobi actively promotes industry supervision. Not long ago, the "Tsinghua Financial Review" magazine, which was previously published by Chinese policy department cadres, published the policy suggestions of Huobi.com founder Li Lin on the industry for the first time.

Talking about the current status of Bitcoin, Du Jun said that from a global perspective, the total number of Bitcoin users has reached about 10 million, and the number of merchants accepting Bitcoin has exceeded 100,000, including large multinational companies such as Microsoft, Dell, and Dish, which have a huge user base. In the first quarter of 2015, the amount of financing in the Bitcoin industry reached 260 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 416%. After experiencing a large hype in 2013, the current Bitcoin price is in a rational development period. This is the best time for practitioners to re-examine the attributes of Bitcoin, sort out the rules of the Bitcoin industry, and explore the development of the industry.
