At the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" forum in Hong Kong, Gongye Feng, Co-founder and CEO of Monera Digital, emphasized the role of AI in enhancing trust within private banking rather than replacing traders. Feng highlighted that the demand for digital assets remains, but market confidence in capital entry has waned since 2022. Monera Digital, an AI-powered private bank, focuses on using AI to accelerate research and iteration cycles, not as a trading tool. Feng outlined Monera's risk management strategy, which includes limiting exposure, automated liquidation, asset segregation, and maintaining liquidity buffers. AI serves as a 24/7 digital Chief Risk Officer, shifting from passive monitoring to proactive alerting. Monera's service model integrates AI for optimization while ensuring human oversight for trust and accountability, aiming to make crypto assets viable for private banking.
