As a "Davos level" benchmark event in the RWA (Real World Asset) field, the world's first "RWA+AI+Web3 Expo" will be held grandly at the AsiaWorld Expo in Hong Kong on September 9-10, 2025. This expo is jointly organized by RWA Research Institute (a top international RWA professional organization) and WOW Summit, and has received strong support from strategic partners such as Guanhuo and Huoxun Finance. It is expected to attract more than 8000 industry elites from over 30 countries and regions, focusing on cutting-edge issues and deep integration of RWA, Web3, artificial intelligence, and financial technology.

1、 Core Content and Value Highlights of the Expo

1. Five Major Theme Forums: Panoramic Presentation of RWA Implementation Practice

The expo will focus on the core application scenarios of RWA and conduct in-depth discussions. Each forum will be accompanied by real cases to bring "asset on chain" from theory to reality

RWA+Capital Market: Focusing on the logic of bond, equity, and fund on chain, such as BlackRock's on chain money market fund achieving "7x24 hour subscription and redemption", greatly improving fund efficiency;

RWA+Real Estate: Exploring digital property registration and cross-border securitization, anchoring air to water equipment and patent rights in the Hong Kong "Air Water RWA Project", attracting well-known figures such as Yang Sunxi and Lu Wenduan to participate in investment;

RWA+Commodities and Carbon Assets: Promoting Green Finance Innovation, the photovoltaic project jointly developed by GCL Energy Technology and Ant Group will put 82MW household photovoltaic assets on the chain, achieving encrypted storage of operational data and revenue streams;

RWA+Intellectual Property: Innovating cultural creativity, on chain confirmation of patent assets, and profit distribution, providing a new path for the innovation economy;

RWA+AI and Data Infrastructure: Relying on an AI risk control engine with 99.9% accuracy and IoT data on chain technology, providing solid technical support for RWA.

2. Three core values: Empowering industries and capital

Full industry chain coverage: showcasing the "theory technology scenario" closed loop from the technical bottom layer, asset on chain process, to compliance practice and application cases;

Precise capital docking: Establish an "RWA Innovation Investment and Financing Docking Zone" and start-up competition to assist high-quality projects in efficiently matching with global capital;

Global influence dissemination: Collaborate with top media such as Huoxun Finance and WOW Summit, covering over 10 million audiences, and release industry trend reports after the conference to provide reference for the industry.

2、 The three core driving forces behind the RWA outbreak

The rise of RWA is due to the triple resonance of regulation, capital, and macroeconomics:

Regulatory clarity is gradually emerging: The approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by the US SEC marks the mainstream financial acceptance of digital assets. RWA, with its dual advantages of "compliance framework+physical asset endorsement", is more likely to gain global regulatory recognition and pave the way for large-scale applications;

Giant accelerated entry: BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and other institutions actively promoted the token pilot of treasury bond, bonds and other assets. Their participation not only injects technology and resources, but also reshapes market trust, promoting RWA from concept verification to scale implementation;

Macro environment boost: During the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut cycle, global capital actively seeks "low-risk, high liquidity" assets. On chain bonds, gold, and stablecoins combine the security of physical assets with the efficiency of blockchain, making them an ideal allocation choice and directly stimulating RWA demand explosion.

3、 The critical path and "third-order penetration" model of RWA issuance by mainland enterprises

Under the current financial and data regulatory framework in China, there are still legal and policy risks associated with the direct issuance of RWA by domestic assets. Therefore, exploring a path for RWA issuance and circulation through data compliance without exporting assets has important practical significance. From "mainland assets" to "Hong Kong RWA tokens", it is necessary to cross three thresholds of law, technology, and compliance, and the core path is divided into five steps:

Off chain certification - Consolidating asset foundation: Conduct value assessment, audit, and legal due diligence on mainland assets (such as commercial real estate and photovoltaic projects), complete digital certification of ownership and income rights through domestic alliance chains, and provide reliable basis for on chain certification.

Build SPV to connect cross-border hubs between mainland enterprises and the Hong Kong market, establish Hong Kong Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), inject core equity of mainland assets (such as rent and project income) into SPVs, and solve the compliance problem of "direct overseas" assets.

Regulatory Licensing - Breaking through Core Checkpoints: Hiring local lawyers and auditors in Hong Kong, preparing compliance documents, proactively communicating with the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) to ensure that the tokenization scheme complies with the Securities and Futures Ordinance, and ultimately obtaining a business license.

On chain issuance - achieving asset tokenization: By using "information bridging" technology to securely put asset information on the chain, RWA tokens representing asset equity are issued by Hong Kong SPVs, and financing is completed in Hong Kong dollars or stablecoins for professional investors.

Post investment management - ensuring continuous compliance: establishing a transparent post investment mechanism: regularly disclosing asset operation data and valuation changes, automatically executing income distribution and liquidation through smart contracts, ensuring strong anchoring between on chain token value and offline asset performance, while complying with regulations in both regions.

In addition, we would like to introduce a model called "Third Order Penetration", which was first launched by Mr. Zheng Dingxiang, Chairman of the Hong Kong Blockchain Technology Application Association, President of the Metaverse Committee of the United Nations Digital Security Alliance, and initiator of RWA Accelerator, at the Global Tourism RWA Development Summit on August 17, 2025. Relevant videos and speech manuscripts can be searched for "Shenzhen Chain Association".

This model aims to achieve the global market-oriented operation of RWA through cross-border data, compliant design, and decentralized circulation of mainland assets without leaving the country. Its core can be divided into three stages of penetration mechanism:

data penetration

Cross border data transmission is the primary step in achieving RWA issuance. Specifically, by developing standardized API interfaces and using a combination of "whitelist+negative list" to screen data that can be exported, and after initial review by the Hainan Provincial Cyberspace Administration and approval by the Central Cyberspace Administration, it will be encrypted and transmitted to the Hong Kong offshore data center through a dedicated cross-border data channel of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. This mechanism achieves compliant data export while ensuring national data security, providing a data foundation for subsequent asset tokenization.

Compliance penetration

After the data arrives in Hong Kong, RWA product structure design needs to be carried out according to local regulatory systems. Hong Kong implements graded supervision of RWA:

If the token represents equity, debt, or income rights, it is defined as a security token and subject to securities regulatory oversight;

If used as a functional token for payment, service access, or governance purposes, it is further distinguished as whether it involves public transactions.

If it belongs to non securities functional tokens, especially those used only for internal ecological exchange scenarios, not only does it have a lower compliance threshold, but it is also more in line with the characteristics of Web3 applications. Therefore, in the design phase of the subject matter, priority should be given to this type of structure to avoid securities regulatory oversight and reduce the mandatory requirements for entering sandbox testing.

Circulation penetration

Even if the token is designed to be functional, its circulation in the secondary market may still be reclassified as a security if it involves public trading.

Therefore, introducing decentralized platforms such as Uniswap as circulation infrastructure has become the key to achieving global circulation.

The platform achieves real-time synchronization of data and equity flow through smart contracts, ensuring that investors can transparently view asset operation status and equity distribution. At the same time, with the help of the Automated Market Maker (AMM) mechanism, the distributable equity is used for regular repurchases and destruction of RWA tokens, forming a deflationary model to automatically complete income distribution and enhance token value stability.

Through the above three stages of penetration, a complete closed loop of "mainland assets - data export - Hong Kong issuance - decentralized circulation" is ultimately formed. This model neither touches the red line of asset outflow nor fully utilizes Hong Kong's international financial status and institutional flexibility, providing a feasible path for China's domestic assets to participate in global digital circulation.
