New Trends in Hong Kong's Digital Asset Policy: TradFi and Web3 Integration Forum Held in Causeway Bay

On July 3, 2025, a forum focusing on Hong Kong's new policies was held in Causeway Bay, attracting numerous participants from the political, financial, and technology sectors. The event discussed Hong Kong's latest adopted digital asset policy framework, exploring the potential opportunities for the integration of TradFi and decentralized finance, as well as the prospects for the digitization of real-world assets.

Policy Guidance for Transformation: Building New Financial Infrastructure

Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the Hong Kong Legislative Council's Web3 and Virtual Asset Development Working Group, stated in his speech that the SAR government is accelerating the promotion of a new digital asset policy declaration, actively attracting international funds and innovative platforms through improved regulation and financial technology infrastructure. He emphasized that "compliance as the foundation and innovation as the driving force" will be the core policy for Hong Kong's future development in Web3.

Stablecoins and Traditional Institutions Entering the Market Become Key Discussion Points

At a roundtable forum, participants discussed the role and limitations of stablecoins in promoting the liquidity of real-world assets ( RWA ). Experts pointed 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 transactions of RWA, but to attract more TradFi participation, there needs to be a unified technological standard and a clear regulatory pathway.

RWA Bridge Program Launch

During the forum, the organizer 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 for startups, facilitate asset tokenization, and promote the practical application of RWA categories such as private credit, US Treasury bonds, and alternative assets.

Strengthening Hong Kong Layout with Technical Support for Asset On-Chain

The co-founder and Chief Business Officer of a blockchain infrastructure company stated that the company will continue to invest in building the connection infrastructure between traditional assets and blockchain networks. The RWA asset management system they developed has already 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 being used in collaboration with several well-known financial institutions. At the same time, the company will participate in the upcoming "digital asset regulatory sandbox" pilot program, aiming to assist the local ecosystem in aligning with international standards and further consolidating Hong Kong's leading position in the RWA field.

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 policy, industry insiders stated that they would work 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.
