The Hong Kong Causeway Bay Forum discusses the digitalization of RWA to promote the integration of Web3 and TradFi.

On July 3, 2025, a forum discussing the opportunities for the integration of TradFi and Decentralized Finance was held in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. This event, named "2025 Focus on Hong Kong's New Policies · Hong Kong Station," attracted numerous participants from politics, finance, and technology to jointly explore the prospects of the digitalization of Real World Assets (RWA).

The forum discussed Hong Kong's latest digital asset policy framework, exploring how to find a balance between financial innovation and compliance, and enhance Hong Kong's position as a global asset tokenization center. 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 Assets Development Task Force, stated in his speech that the SAR government is accelerating the promotion of relevant policies, actively attracting international capital and innovation platforms through improving regulatory and fintech infrastructure. He emphasized that "compliance as the foundation, innovation as the driving force" will be the core guideline for Hong Kong's future development in Web3.

During the subsequent roundtable forum, participants delved into the role of stablecoins in promoting RWA liquidity and their limitations. Participants generally agreed that the price stability of stablecoins can provide a foundation for cross-market trading of RWA, but to attract more TradFi institutions to participate, challenges such as technical integration and regulatory uncertainty still need to be addressed.

During the forum, a program called "RWA Bridge Program" was officially launched. This program aims to build a bridge between TradFi and Web3, providing funding, technical tools, and compliance guidance for startup projects, facilitating the on-chain of assets, and promoting the practical applications of RWA categories such as private credit, US Treasury bonds, and alternative assets.

A co-founder and Chief Business Officer of a blockchain infrastructure company stated that they will continue to invest in building the foundation for the connection 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-grade RWA trading platform in Hong Kong, with its infrastructure having been cooperatively used with several well-known financial institutions. At the same time, the company will participate in the upcoming "Digital Asset Regulatory Sandbox" pilot program, which will help connect the local ecosystem with international standards and further consolidate Hong Kong's leading position in the RWA field.

This event attracted over 300 industry representatives, facilitating multiple potential cooperation intentions on-site. With the comprehensive promotion of new digital asset policies in Hong Kong, industry insiders stated that they would 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.
