In the wave of seeking innovation and stable development in the global financial market, Real-World Assets (RWA) are becoming a key area for the integration of blockchain technology and traditional finance. Hong Kong, with its unique policy support and international financial status, is rapidly emerging as a global focal point for RWA development.
With the support of Hong Kong's policies, RWA development is given the green light.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government attaches great importance to the development of RWA, incorporating it into the financial technology development blueprint. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has explicitly stated its support for RWA, believing that it helps enhance the efficiency and transparency of the financial market. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission is also actively formulating regulatory guidelines, providing a clear path for the compliant development of RWA. Furthermore, the Hong Kong government encourages financial institutions and enterprises to undertake RWA projects by offering tax incentives, funding support, and other measures, injecting strong momentum into the industry’s development.
Hong Kong's advantages are prominent, making it a 'perfect testing ground' for RWA tokenization.
Hong Kong has a well-established system for the circulation of gold physical assets, with smooth and efficient processes from import to trading to storage. The Hong Kong Jewellers' and Goldsmiths' Trade Association, as an important platform for global gold trading, actively promotes the establishment of industry standards for RWA, laying a solid foundation for the on-chain circulation of gold assets. Its strict standards ensure seamless integration and safe circulation of gold assets on and off the chain, providing valuable experience for global RWA development.
Amid global RWA trends, Hong Kong's Gold RWA is a step ahead.
In the global RWA development process, Hong Kong focuses on Gold RWA, leveraging its profound background in gold trading and policy support to be the first to achieve on-chain circulation of gold assets. The Gold RWA platform plays an important role in this process, collaborating with relevant enterprises to convert 400 kilograms of gold into standardized RWA products, marking a significant event in the transition of Gold RWA from concept to reality and becoming a landmark event in the global Gold RWA development. This initiative not only promotes the digitalization and globalization of gold assets but also lays a foundation for Hong Kong's leading position in the RWA field.
Significant breakthroughs in Gold RWA have been achieved.
The Gold RWA platform announces a strategic cooperation on supply chain finance for 400 kilograms of gold RWA with the world's top jewelry brand Chow Tai Fook. This cooperation marks the transition of gold RWA supply chain finance from the 'concept stage' to the 'brand endorsement + physical circulation' phase. Gold RWA provides the on-chain rights confirmation system (including POP + insurance + custody certificates), gold order segmentation issuance logic, standard RWA trading module for CandyEX exchange, Lloyd’s global insurance underwriting + Brinks logistics traceability system, etc. In the future, this 400-kilogram gold order will be issued in limited quantities as a standard gold RWA supply chain finance on the CandyEX platform, open for investment and staking by global compliant users with brand credit endorsement, on-chain rights confirmation structure, and custody and insurance guarantees.
The future of Hong Kong RWA is promising, leading the global trend of asset tokenization.
Hong Kong's successful practices in the RWA field not only inject strong momentum into the innovative development of its financial market but also provide a reference model for global RWA development. In the future, Hong Kong is expected to attract more international financial institutions and enterprises to participate in RWA projects, further consolidating its position as a global RWA center. With continuous technological advancements and ongoing policy improvements, the influence of Hong Kong RWA will continue to expand, leading a new trend of asset tokenization globally and providing more possibilities for the innovative development of traditional finance and blockchain technology.
