RWA Hong Kong Summit: Exploring New Paradigms for Asset Tokenization, Promoting the Integration of Digital Economy and Real Economy

Recently, a summit focusing on the tokenization of real-world assets ( RWA ) was held in Hong Kong, attracting numerous industry leaders and entrepreneurs from government agencies, industry associations, financial institutions, and the Web3 sector. As an important peripheral event of the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, the event also attracted tens of thousands of viewers through online live streaming.

At the forum, participants engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as regulatory frameworks, technological innovation, and market opportunities. Several key participating organizations injected new momentum into the global RWA development from multiple dimensions including technological empowerment, ecological cooperation, and compliance practices.

A Hong Kong-based Web3 comprehensive solution provider shared its innovative experiences in empowering the financial and real industries through blockchain technology in recent years. The company's core team has played significant roles in various global blockchain infrastructure projects and has provided technical support to several licensed financial institutions. During the meeting, the company detailed the latest features of its RWA asset issuance and management platform, Web3 payment platform, and other core products, as well as application cases in green energy, carbon assets, and shared bicycles.

It is noteworthy that the company also announced two important collaborations at the conference. The first is a partnership with Hong Kong's largest bike-sharing operator to launch the world's first bike-sharing system that supports cryptocurrency payments, allowing users to make payments with mainstream cryptocurrencies. The second is an agreement signed with a senior partner of a cloud computing service provider, planning to collaborate in market promotion and infrastructure services to provide comprehensive technical support for Web3 enterprises. These collaborations demonstrate the company's strength in the implementation of technology and the promotion of the integration of digital finance and the real economy.

As an important builder of compliant financial infrastructure in Hong Kong, a certain public chain project also showcased its unique advantages in the RWA field at the summit. The project leader elaborated on how to address the issues of insufficient liquidity and high participation thresholds for traditional assets through technological innovation and compliance design. He pointed out that despite the global RWA market size exceeding one trillion dollars, a significant amount of assets remain insufficiently circulated due to regulatory differences and technological barriers. This project supports asset issuance, collateralization, and derivative development by building a compliance-friendly public chain ecosystem, while achieving safe, reliable, and efficient circulation of assets on-chain through a multi-level auditing mechanism and cross-chain interoperability protocols.

It is reported that the public chain project has reached cooperation with multiple traditional financial institutions, supporting the issuance of various financial assets on-chain, and significantly shortening the traditional cross-border settlement cycle, providing technical guarantees for the large-scale implementation of financial applications.

In the subsequent roundtable discussion, the attending experts engaged in an in-depth dialogue on "RWA Driving Global Asset Flow: Compliance Framework, Technological Innovation, and Market Opportunities." The experts believe that the development of RWA must be predicated on regulatory transparency, and Hong Kong, as a hub connecting international markets, can provide a testing ground for innovation through a "regulatory sandbox" mechanism. At the same time, the combination of cross-chain technology, zero-knowledge proofs, and oracle networks will effectively address core issues such as asset rights confirmation, price discovery, and the trustworthy on-chain of off-chain data.

The entire summit showcased the broad application prospects of blockchain technology in the real economy. From the integration of shared bicycles with cryptocurrency payments to the significant improvement in cross-border settlement efficiency, these cases reveal the innovative potential of Web3 technology for traditional business models.

Standing at the critical juncture of the integration of the digital economy and the real economy, Hong Kong, with its unique policy environment and status as an international financial center, is becoming an ideal testing ground for RWA innovation. The future competition is not only a technological contest but also an ecological competition. When the compliance framework, technological innovation, and market demand interact positively, a global financial transformation centered on asset tokenization is quietly unfolding.
