Hong Kong's New Digital Asset Policy Promotes Financial Innovation: RWA Bridge Program Officially Launched

On July 3, 2025, a high-end forum focusing on Hong Kong's new digital asset policies was grandly held in Causeway Bay. Numerous elites from the political, financial, and technological sectors gathered to discuss the potential opportunities for the integration of traditional finance and decentralized finance, and to delve into the prospects for the digital development of real-world assets (RWA).

This forum focuses on the "Digital Asset Policy Declaration 2.0" framework recently launched in Hong Kong, discussing how to promote financial innovation while ensuring compliance, enhancing Hong Kong's status as a global asset tokenization center. National Committee member and Chairman of the Hong Kong Legislative Council's Web3 and Virtual Asset Development Working Group, Wu Jietzhuang, emphasized in his speech that the SAR government is accelerating the advancement of new policies, actively attracting international funds and innovative platforms through improved regulations and financial technology infrastructure. He pointed out that "compliance as the foundation and innovation as the driving force" will be the core guideline for the future development of Web3 in Hong Kong.

During the subsequent roundtable forum, representatives from several well-known institutions conducted an in-depth discussion on the role of stablecoins in promoting the liquidity of RWAs. Participants unanimously agreed that the price stability of stablecoins could lay the groundwork for cross-market transactions of RWAs; however, to attract more traditional financial institutions to participate, it is still necessary to unify technical standards and clarify regulatory pathways.

During the forum, a program called "RWA Bridge Program" was officially launched. This program aims to build a bridge between traditional finance and Web3, providing support for financial institutions to enter the world of on-chain assets. The program will provide funding, technical tools, and compliance guidance to startup projects, facilitate asset tokenization, and promote 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 certain blockchain infrastructure company stated that the company will continue to invest in building the foundational connections between traditional assets and blockchain networks. The RWA asset management system developed by the company 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 use by 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, further consolidating Hong Kong's leading position in the RWA sector.

The forum attracted over 300 industry representatives, facilitating multiple potential cooperation intentions on-site. With the comprehensive advancement of Hong Kong's "digital asset 2.0 policy", industry insiders stated that they will join hands with more industry partners to accelerate the integration of traditional finance and the blockchain ecosystem, helping Hong Kong seize a commanding position in the global Web3 competition.
