Hong Kong Hosts Forum to Discuss New Policies on Digital Assets and RWA Development

On July 3, 2025, a forum focusing on Hong Kong's new digital asset policy was held in Causeway Bay. This event attracted numerous participants from the political, financial, and technology sectors to discuss the potential opportunities for integrating traditional finance and decentralized finance, with a particular emphasis on the digitalization of real-world assets (RWA).

Policy Leading Transformation, Building New Financial Infrastructure

The event revolves around discussions on the latest digital asset policy declaration 2.0 framework implemented in Hong Kong, exploring how it paves the way for financial innovation while balancing compliance and technological development, enhancing Hong Kong's status as a global asset tokenization center. A member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chair of the Hong Kong Legislative Council's Web3 and Virtual Asset Development Subcommittee stated in his speech that the SAR government is accelerating the promotion of new policies, actively attracting international funds and innovative platforms through improved regulation and financial technology infrastructure. He emphasized that "compliance as the foundation, innovation as the driving force" will be the core principle for Hong Kong's future development in Web3.

Stablecoins and Traditional Institutions Becoming Key Discussion Points

During the roundtable forum session, representatives from various financial and technology institutions discussed the role and limitations of stablecoins in promoting RWA liquidity, pointing out that the technical integration and regulatory uncertainty faced by traditional institutions remain major challenges. Participants unanimously agreed that the price stability of stablecoins could serve as the foundation for cross-market trading of RWA, but to attract more traditional financial participation, it is necessary to unify technical standards and clarify regulatory pathways.

RWA Bridge Program Officially Launched

During the forum, the organizers announced the official launch of the "RWA Bridge Program," which focuses on building a bridge between traditional finance and Web3, assisting financial institutions in entering the world of on-chain assets. The program will provide funding, technical tools, and compliance guidance to startups, facilitate asset tokenization, and promote the practical application of RWA categories such as private credit, U.S. Treasury bonds, and alternative assets.

Strengthen Hong Kong layout, technology supports asset on-chain

An executive from a blockchain infrastructure company stated that they will continue to invest in building the foundation for connecting traditional assets with blockchain networks. The RWA asset management system developed by the company has already served multiple international institutions and has engaged in discussions with the US 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 use by several well-known financial institutions. At the same time, the company will participate in the upcoming "digital asset regulatory sandbox" pilot program to assist the local ecosystem in aligning with international standards, further consolidating Hong Kong's pioneering position in the RWA field.

This event attracted over 300 industry representatives, facilitating multiple potential collaboration intentions on-site. With the full promotion of Hong Kong's "digital asset 2.0 policy," industry insiders stated that they will partner with more industrial partners to accelerate the integration of traditional finance and the blockchain ecosystem, helping Hong Kong seize the high ground in the global Web3 competition.
