Arda Senoz to Attend ChainCatcher Hong Kong Crypto 2026 Forum

Fetched material supports a narrower version of the headline. RootData says ChainCatcher and RootData are staging a Hong Kong forum around the Web3 Festival, while the festival’s official speaker announcement places Arda Senoz, identified there as Alchemy Pay Ecosystem Lead, on the broader event roster. Those fetched pages do not independently publish a speaker card for the side forum itself, so this report is limited to the schedule, roster, and prior event history the available sources actually show.

What the event pages confirm

RootData says “Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy” will be held in Hong Kong on April 19, 2026, at 14:00 (GMT+8) as a peripheral activity of the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. The same RootData notice says the agenda will cover AI Agent economy, smart payments, RWA, and crypto infrastructure, and the matching Luma event page showed 537 registrations when the research brief was compiled.

Where Senoz is directly named

In the Web3 Festival’s official March 23, 2026 speaker announcement, Arda Senoz is listed as Ecosystem Lead at Alchemy Pay, and the same release identifies Alchemy Pay as a Gold sponsor of the festival. That places Senoz and the company inside the wider Hong Kong event footprint already relevant to Coincu’s Second Batch of Hong Kong Compliant Stablecoin Licenses Enters Application Stage coverage, but it is still broader festival evidence rather than proof of a dedicated ChainCatcher side-forum speaking slot.

The specific attendance claim for the April 19 side forum comes from a single ChainCatcher report cited in the brief, and it should be read that way: as an unconfirmed, single-source statement that was not independently reproduced on the fetched English-language pages. The verified core remains narrower than the headline wording, because fetched material shows the forum schedule, Senoz’s broader festival listing, and Alchemy Pay’s sponsor status, but not a forum-specific lineup card with his name on it.

Why Alchemy Pay still appears relevant

Alchemy Pay’s official April 17, 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Festival recap says Senoz spoke at the “Crypto 2025 Breakthrough Rebuild” forum hosted by RootData and ChainCatcher during the prior festival. That does not confirm the current side-forum guest list, but it does document that Senoz and the same organizers shared a Hong Kong stage before.

In that same Medium recap, Alchemy Pay said its fiat on- and off-ramp services supported payments in 173 countries and said ACH is the network token on Ethereum. That 173-country payments footprint helps explain why Senoz’s Hong Kong appearances are framed around payment infrastructure and ecosystem access rather than the price-led themes seen in Small-Cap Altcoins Turn Wild as Bitcoin Trades Sideways: SIREN and ARIA in Focus or the allocation narrative in Institutions Still Resist Bitcoin Allocation as Iran Becomes a Key Market Variable.

For now, the sourced takeaway is limited: RootData and Luma establish the forum’s time, hosts, theme, and registration traction; GlobeNewswire establishes Senoz’s place on the wider festival speaker roster and Alchemy Pay’s sponsor role; and Alchemy Pay’s own recap establishes prior participation with the same organizers. Until an event-specific agenda or speaker graphic names Senoz directly, this is best read as a Hong Kong festival-footprint story, not a fully verified side-forum confirmation.
