Hong Kong hosts Web3 forum focusing on RWA digitization and financial innovation

On July 3, 2025, a Web3 forum focusing on Hong Kong's new policies was held in Causeway Bay. The event attracted numerous participants from the political, financial, and technology sectors to discuss the potential opportunities for the integration of TradFi and Decentralized Finance, while following the development of digitalization of real-world assets.

The event revolves around Hong Kong's latest digital asset policy framework, discussing how it paves the way for financial innovation while balancing compliance and technological development, thereby enhancing Hong Kong's position as a global asset tokenization center. Wu Jizhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Hong Kong Legislative Council's Web3 and Virtual Asset Development Working Group, stated in his speech that the SAR government is accelerating the promotion of relevant policies to actively attract international capital and innovative platforms through improved regulation and financial technology infrastructure. He emphasized that "compliance as the foundation and innovation as the driving force" will be the core principle for Hong Kong's future development in Web3.

At a roundtable forum, participants discussed the role and limitations of stablecoins in promoting RWA liquidity, pointing out that the technological integration and regulatory uncertainty faced by traditional institutions remain major challenges. Participants unanimously agreed that the price stability of stablecoins could serve as a foundation for RWA cross-market trading, but to attract more participation from traditional finance, unified technical standards and clear regulatory pathways are needed.

During the forum, a program called "RWA Bridge Program" was officially launched. This program focuses on building a bridge between TradFi and Web3, assisting financial institutions in entering the world of on-chain assets. It will provide funding, technical tools, and compliance guidance for startup projects, promote asset tokenization, and drive the practical application of RWA categories such as private credit, US Treasury bonds, and alternative assets.

A co-founder and Chief Business Officer of a blockchain company stated that the company will continue to invest in building the infrastructure for the connection between traditional assets and blockchain networks. The developed RWA asset management system has served multiple international institutions and has engaged in discussions with the U.S. SEC's Crypto Task Force to promote the compliant development of digital assets and RWA.

The company also plans to launch an institutional-level RWA trading platform in Hong Kong, with its infrastructure already in collaboration with several well-known financial institutions. The company will participate in the upcoming "Digital Asset Regulatory Sandbox" pilot program to assist the local ecosystem in connecting with international markets and further solidifying Hong Kong's pioneering position in the RWA field.

This event attracted over 300 industry representatives, facilitating multiple potential cooperation intentions on-site. With the comprehensive promotion of Hong Kong's new digital asset policies, industry insiders indicated that they will join hands with more industry partners to accelerate the integration of TradFi and the blockchain ecosystem, helping Hong Kong seize the high ground in the global Web3 competition.
