At the beginning of the New Year 2026, AXC LABS officially announced that it has received angel investment from Longling Capital and has settled in the CAI Building, a landmark for Web3 innovation in Hong Kong, marking the start of a new chapter in the management of real-world assets (RWA) in the alternative asset wealth management sector. On the afternoon of January 8, the first industry forum of the New Year, co-hosted by AXC LABS and the CAI Building, was successfully held, gathering dozens of guests from investment, legislation, fintech, and the crypto field to witness this milestone moment together.

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, Witnessing Together

At the start of the event, Mr. Cai Wensheng, angel investor of AXC LABS and renowned investor, along with Ms. Ge Peifan and Mr. Wu Jiezhuang, Hong Kong Legislative Council Members, Mr. Chen Shaojie, Co-founder of AXC LABS and Honorary President of Hong Kong Web3.0 Association, and Edison, Co-founder and CEO of AXC LABS, took the stage to cut the ribbon, symbolizing AXC's new journey in the RWA sector.

Leadership Vision, Insights into the Future

After the ribbon-cutting, Mr. Cai Wensheng, as the first speaker, shared his operational outlook for the CAI Building as a hub for Web3 innovation in Hong Kong and expressed high expectations for AXC's development in this new phase. Mr. Cai stated that as Hong Kong's first digital nomad community, the CAI Building is committed to providing ample space for communication among entrepreneurs, investors, and industry participants.

Subsequently, Edison, Co-CEO of AXC Labs, delivered a speech on the theme "How to Unlock the Trillion-Dollar Potential of RWA." He pointed out that the global RWA market has surpassed $450 billion and is moving towards a liquidity-based tiered structure 2.0 phase. Drawing from his experiences in traditional finance and MakerDAO in the Asian RWA sector, he shared AXC's proactive exploration and future vision in the on-chain alternative wealth management market through the construction of liquidity protocols.

Strategic Partnership, Co-building the Ecosystem

During this event, AXC LABS also officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sire Group, a leading alternative asset management company in Asia. Mr. Ma Huihong, founding partner and Global Chief Investment Officer of Sire Group, attended the event and stated that alternative investments have become a key force in asset allocation in the current market environment, and he is optimistic about breakthroughs in existing wealth management products through RWA technological innovation. Mr. Ma emphasized that the traditional stock-bond allocation model is increasingly difficult to adapt to the complex market environment, and alternative investments are entering a golden development period. Historical data shows that U.S. endowment funds allocate about 40% to alternative investments, while high-net-worth investors currently allocate only 10%-15%, indicating significant future growth potential. Meanwhile, major global asset management institutions are also accelerating their layout in digital assets, which not only represents a shift in capital flow but also signifies that digital assets are transitioning from a marginalized investment category to an indispensable allocation option in diversified investment portfolios, marking a new stage in the integration of the traditional financial system and the crypto ecosystem.

It is understood that Sire Group has received strategic investment from Julius Baer (Julius Baer Group), making it a leading alternative asset and wealth management platform focused on the Chinese market. Through this collaboration, both parties will work together to accelerate the tokenization process of hedge fund of funds (FoHF) RWA products through the asset digital liquidity protocol built by AXC LABS. By leveraging each other's strengths in their respective fields, they will explore innovative applications of RWA in alternative wealth management and promote the implementation of compliant, efficient, and diversified on-chain asset solutions.

Three Rounds of Roundtables, Stimulating Ideas

In the second half of the event, three high-quality roundtables were held consecutively:

1. "On-chain Asset Management Model for RWA": Gathering representatives from CMB International, Sire Group, Hong Kong Cyberport, and AXC to discuss how Hong Kong, as an international financial center, can empower RWA innovation.
2. "Realistic Pathways and Forward-looking Judgments for RWA": Several PhDs and legal experts analyzed the practical challenges and future directions of RWA implementation from technical, standard, and compliance perspectives.
3. "Crypto-native RWA Market Pathways": Representatives from crypto-native institutions such as Plume, Hex Trust, and Draper Dragon were invited to explore possible pathways for driving the evolution of the RWA market through blockchain-native methods.

At the end of the event, the host summarized that the crypto narrative of 2026 will transcend price fluctuations, shifting towards substantial innovations such as stablecoin payment transformations, accelerated asset tokenization processes, and the integration of AI and crypto. On the pioneering path of RWA and alternative asset wealth management, AXC is willing to walk alongside its ecosystem partners to jointly promote the construction of the financial future.

This forum not only marks the beginning of a new development phase for AXC LABS but also injects strong industry dialogue and collaborative momentum into the ecological, compliant, and scalable development of RWA in Hong Kong and even Asia.
