Hong Kong Web3 Forum: RWA Digitalization and Stablecoins Become the Focus, New Policies Boost 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, as well as to follow the digitalization development of Real World Assets (RWA).

The forum focused on the latest digital asset policy framework implemented in Hong Kong, discussing how it paves the way for financial innovation while balancing compliance and technological development, enhancing Hong Kong's status as a global asset tokenization hub. National Committee member and Chairman of the Hong Kong Legislative Council's Web3 and Virtual Assets Development Working Group, Wu Jiezhuang, 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.

At a roundtable forum, representatives from several well-known institutions 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 the foundation for cross-market trading of RWA, but to attract more TradFi participation, it is necessary to unify technical standards and clarify regulatory pathways.

During the forum, the organizers 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 on-chain assets. This 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.

An executive from a blockchain infrastructure company stated that they will continue to invest in building the connection between traditional assets and blockchain networks. The RWA asset management system developed by the company has already served several 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 collaborating with several well-known financial institutions. They will also participate in the upcoming "Digital Asset Regulatory Sandbox" pilot program to assist the local ecosystem in aligning with international standards and further consolidate Hong Kong's leading position in the RWA field.

The event attracted over 300 industry representatives, leading to multiple potential cooperation intentions on site. With the comprehensive promotion of the new digital asset policy in Hong Kong, industry insiders have stated 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.
