They refer to valuable assets in the form of electronic data, including personal data and digital money in Alipay. The definition of digital assets in the blockchain industry is the digital currency, digital certificate, certfied physical assets and relevant derivatives issued through the decentralized computer network. Digital finance is a financial format in which a token (digital currency, digital pass) is used as a digital asset to operate within a centrally managed or decentralized smart contract. In recent years, blockchain and digital assets have sprung up. The total amount of digital assets including Bitcoin has exceeded 800 billion USD; the number of global digital asset users is nearly 100 million, and the number of blockchain projects has reached tens of thousands. At the same time, the mainstream financial market is constantly accepting digital assets. The mainstream commodity futures exchanges in the United States, CBOE and CME, have successively launched Bitcoin futures; and top financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs have begun to enter the field of blockchain. After years of understanding, analyzing and invesing in the digital finance industry, Fenbushi Capital, WBF and PreIPO Capital share a common belief in the future prospects of digital finance. With this belief, BKFUND and BFFUND decided to collaborate, establishing GDF which aims to lead the digital finance sector into a healthy and positive industry. At the Global Digital Finance Capital (GDF) Conference, Charlie Xu, the managing partner of GDF, co-founder of BKFUND and founder of Hashgard, talked about the mission and future of GDF: "Global Digital Finance Capital (GDF) will focus on the ecological investment and layout of the digital finance industry, adhere to the logic of incremental investment and layout of globalization, build an open ecology and empower the projects invested."
