Hong Kong Web3 FinTech Policies and RWA Opportunities: Regulatory Interpretation, Compliance Pathways, and Youth Entrepreneurship Empowerment to Explore New Industry Landscapes
On August 19, 2025, the themed event "Hong Kong Web3 Fintech Policies and RWA Opportunities," organized by Student Power and specially supported by institutions such as Antalpha, China Resources Land, Web3Labs, Techub News, and MetaEra, was successfully held at Runnovation - Runwei Creative Workshop in Wan Chai. The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs of Hong Kong, Alice Mak, National Committee Member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of the Legislative Council's Web3 and Virtual Assets Development Subcommittee, Dr. Wu Jiezhuang, Executive Director of the Intermediary Division of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), Mr. Ye Zhiheng, CEO of Web3Labs, Mr. Huang Junlong, and representatives from various enterprises attended the event. They jointly interpreted the opportunities of Web3 policies and RWA, providing crucial policy references and industry insights for young entrepreneurs.
Mr. Ye Zhiheng, a member of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and Executive Director of the Intermediaries Division, provided a detailed interpretation of Hong Kong's Web3 regulatory logic. He emphasized that the Hong Kong SFC always adheres to the principle of "compliance first, risk controllable," regulating the industry's development through the VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) licensing system, while encouraging innovative startups to participate in the "regulatory sandbox" to test new products and services in a controlled environment. "Regulation is not an obstacle, but rather a means to enable the Web3 industry to develop in a healthier and more sustainable manner, providing stable development expectations for young entrepreneurs."
Mr. Huang Junlang, CEO of Web3Labs, shared on the topic "Hong Kong RWA Compliance Framework: A Regulatory Bridge Connecting Traditional Finance and Digital Assets." He pointed out that RWA, as an important link connecting the traditional real economy and digital assets, has become a key development direction for Hong Kong's Web3 industry. At the same time, Mr. Huang Junlang introduced the institutional-level RWA bridge program jointly launched by Web3 Labs and Plume. He stated that under the policy background of accelerating the construction of an international virtual asset center in Hong Kong, the compliance integration of traditional finance and blockchain is a key breakthrough for the industry. To this end, both parties have created this empowerment platform focused on the tokenization of real assets, covering multiple sectors such as real estate, private credit, government bonds, carbon rights, and commodities. The project recruitment channel opened on August 11. We look forward to working with industry partners to promote the efficient flow of quality real assets through blockchain, explore new paths for the scaled implementation of RWA, and welcome eligible projects to actively apply for participation.
The subsequent roundtable forum focused on "Regulatory Sandboxes: From Hong Kong VASP Licenses to Global RWA Compliance Frameworks" in depth. Alma, the founder of Techub News, shared insights from a media perspective on how to seize regulatory dividends through policy interpretation, suggesting that entrepreneurs make good use of Hong Kong's "regulatory sandbox" trial-and-error space to validate business models. Vincent, co-CEO of Guofu Quantum Innovation Co., Ltd., advised entrepreneurs to introduce cutting-edge technologies like quantum encryption in the early stages of RWA projects to build a secure and compliant system, laying a solid foundation for subsequent connections to global markets. Brian Chan, COO of Animoca, analyzed the integration potential of RWA with gaming, IP, and other scenarios based on the experiences of Web3 giants. Plume CSO Shukyee further encouraged all young entrepreneurs dedicated to RWA to boldly reshape asset liquidity through compliance and technological innovation. Hong Kong is entering the Digital Asset 2.0 era, with a clear regulatory path and mature financial infrastructure; Plume will assist teams in safely onboarding and expanding markets within the SFC and HKMA frameworks. We believe local entrepreneurs can attract international capital, create real value, and establish Hong Kong as a model and international hub for RWA innovation.
The guests shared their practical experiences in the industry, discussing key issues such as the implementation path of Hong Kong policies that concern young entrepreneurs, global resource connection channels, and strategies for entering the RWA segmented track. The on-site interaction was frequent, and the practical suggestions and global perspectives shared left the entrepreneurs with a wealth of insights.
In the future, Web3labs will continue to fulfill its mission of being a "regulatory bridge," collaborating with partners from various sectors to provide compliance consulting, technical support, and resource connections for young entrepreneurs, helping more projects grow steadily in the regulatory sandbox and move towards global markets. Together, based on compliance and driven by innovation, we will jointly outline a prosperous vision for Hong Kong's Web3 and RWA industries.
