Hong Kong launches RWA Bridge plan to promote the integration of TradFi and Web3.

On July 3, 2025, a forum discussing the integration opportunities between TradFi and Decentralized Finance was held in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. This event attracted numerous participants from politics, finance, and technology, focusing on the digitalization of Real World Assets (RWA).

The event focuses on Hong Kong's latest digital asset policy framework, discussing how to pave the way for financial innovation while balancing compliance and technological development, thereby enhancing Hong Kong's status as a global asset tokenization hub. 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 relevant policies, actively attracting international funds and innovative platforms by improving regulations and financial technology infrastructure. He emphasized that "compliance as the foundation, innovation as the driving force" will be the core principle 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 the technological integration and regulatory uncertainty currently faced by traditional institutions remain major challenges. Participants unanimously agreed that the price stability of stablecoins could serve as a foundation for cross-market trading of RWA, but to attract more participation from traditional finance, 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". This program focuses on building a bridge between TradFi and Web3, assisting financial institutions in entering the world of on-chain assets. The program will provide funding, technical tools, and compliance guidance for startups, promote asset tokenization, and drive 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 foundation for connecting traditional assets with blockchain networks. Its developed RWA asset management system 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-grade RWA trading platform in Hong Kong, with its infrastructure already being utilized in collaboration with 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 standards, further consolidating Hong Kong's leading position in the RWA field.

The event attracted over 300 industry representatives, resulting in multiple potential cooperation intentions on-site. With the comprehensive promotion of the new digital asset policy in Hong Kong, the organizers 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.
