Hong Kong Digital Asset New Policy Forum: RWA and Web3 Integration Becomes the Focus

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 politics, finance, and technology sectors to discuss the potential opportunities for the integration of TradFi and Decentralized Finance, with a focus on the digitalization of Real World Assets (RWA).

The event focuses on Hong Kong's latest digital asset policy framework, discussing how it paves the way for financial innovation while balancing compliance and technical development, enhancing Hong Kong's status as a global asset tokenization center. Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Legislative Council's Web3 and Virtual Assets Development Subcommittee, stated in his speech that the SAR government is accelerating the promotion of relevant policies, actively attracting international capital 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 policy for Hong Kong's future development in Web3.

During a roundtable forum, participants discussed the role and limitations of stablecoins in promoting RWA liquidity, noting that traditional institutions currently face major challenges related to technology integration and regulatory uncertainty. Participants unanimously agreed that the price stability of stablecoins could serve as a foundation for cross-market trading of RWAs, but to attract more TradFi participation, it is necessary to unify technical standards and clarify regulatory pathways.

During the forum, relevant institutions announced the official launch of the "RWA Bridge Program", which focuses on building a bridge between TradFi and Web3, assisting financial institutions in entering the world of digital assets. This program will provide funding, technical tools, and compliance guidance for startup projects, promote asset tokenization, and facilitate the practical application of RWA categories such as private credit, US treasury bonds, and alternative assets.

The co-founder and Chief Business Officer of a blockchain infrastructure company stated that the company will continue to invest in building the foundation for connecting traditional assets with blockchain networks. The RWA asset management system they developed 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-grade RWA trading platform in Hong Kong, with its infrastructure already in use by several well-known financial institutions. The company is also involved in the upcoming "digital asset regulatory sandbox" pilot program to help align the local ecosystem with international standards, further consolidating Hong Kong's leading position in the RWA sector.

The Hong Kong 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, relevant institutions stated that they will work together with more industry partners to accelerate the integration of TradFi and the blockchain ecosystem, helping Hong Kong seize a leading position in the global Web3 competition.
