CoinTerminal hosted its latest university event at Tongji University in China.
By creating a space where innovation and entrepreneurship meet, CoinTerminal continues to make Web3 education more accessible, staying true to its mission of opening the crypto ecosystem to everyone.
The event created a dynamic space for students to exchange ideas and experiences
On Saturday, May 17, 2025, the halls of Tongji University’s School of Economics filled with curiosity, fresh ideas, and excitement for the possibilities of Web3.
In collaboration with CoinTerminal, students joined a two-hour open talk exploring the foundations of Web3, including real-world examples of how emerging technologies are being applied in financial innovation. The meetup also included an interactive segment where students shared their own ideas for future technology applications.
The event highlighted the remarkable talent emerging from Chinese universities and reinforced how institutions like Tongji are helping shape the future of technology through open dialogue and academic excellence.
This was more than a class. It was pure innovation.
With the eager participation of students from the School of Economics, we explored how Web3 technologies have evolved from abstract concepts into real-world applications, driving innovation at the heart of the financial sector.
The conversation centered on how these systems are transforming global infrastructure, reshaping business models, and redefining the skills today’s students need to succeed in a rapidly changing digital economy.
The depth of engagement from Tongji’s students reflected the strength of China’s academic institutions in preparing future leaders for a global technological landscape.
The meetup was hosted by our China Advisor, who led with calm energy and enthusiasm, making the concepts behind Web3 engaging and accessible for everyone in the room. After brief introductions, we opened the conversation by answering a simple but powerful question: What is Web3, really, and why should students care?
From there, we walked through:
One of the highlights of the meetup was a discussion around emerging job opportunities in Web3. Many students were surprised to learn how rapidly the field is evolving and how their unique skills and perspectives could contribute to future developments in digital finance and technology.
Tongji’s students in particular showed a forward-thinking mindset that reflects China’s growing role as a leader in global tech education.
After the core talk, the room opened up for questions, and students didn’t hold back. We talked about:
What stood out wasn’t just the quality of the questions; it was the energy in the room. These weren’t passive listeners; they were active thinkers, sketching early ideas for technology-inspired solutions and imagining how they might contribute to the next generation of digital innovation.
The excitement was real, and for many students, this marked the beginning of a deeper journey into Web3. Their level of curiosity and thoughtful engagement speaks to the strength of China’s academic institutions in cultivating talent ready to lead in an increasingly digital world.
Tongji University has long been a pillar of China’s innovation and technology education landscape. With its progressive curriculum and a forward-looking student body, it provides an ideal environment for exploring how emerging digital technologies are shaping the world.
By collaborating with the School of Economics, CoinTerminal had the privilege of participating in a thoughtful and inspiring exchange of ideas. Rather than leading the conversation, we were there to listen, share perspectives, and learn from the outstanding talent that defines Tongji’s academic community.
We witnessed firsthand how student curiosity can evolve into critical insight, and how China’s educational institutions are preparing future leaders to contribute meaningfully to the country’s ongoing digital transformation.
The first Web3 meetup at Tongji marked an exciting step in CoinTerminal’s journey to connect with China’s brightest minds and learn from the incredible talent emerging across its universities.
We believe the next generation of global innovators is already in classrooms like the ones at Tongji University. That’s why we’re committed to showing up, not to lead, but to listen, exchange ideas, and grow alongside the students shaping the future of digital technology.
While this wasn’t our first campus event, it was a meaningful milestone in our continued engagement with Chinese academic institutions. The creativity, insight, and ambition we witnessed reaffirmed our belief that China is not just participating in the future of tech, it’s leading it.
If you’re a student with a passion for innovation or simply curious about where technology is headed, we look forward to seeing you at the next meetup.
Let’s keep the conversation going, together.
