On February 9, 2026, the "ITA 2026 First RWA Global Summit" was inaugurated in Hong Kong. This summit, centered around "Hong Kong Leading the RWA Trillion-Dollar New Era," aims to build a global high-end dialogue platform for politics, economy, industry, academia, and research, gathering industry forces to jointly explore the development path of Real World Assets (RWA) digitalization.

As RWA serves as the core link between physical assets and digital finance, a new trillion-dollar market track will be opened. Hong Kong, leveraging its advantages as an international financial hub and its forward-looking Web3 and RWA market foundation, is becoming a core gathering place for global asset digitalization. This summit attracted numerous business leaders, blockchain elites, representatives from traditional financial institutions, and experts and scholars to engage in deep dialogue across fields and regions. The summit will focus on exploring the development potential of Hong Kong's Web3 and RWA, deeply illustrating how Hong Kong will stand at the forefront of digital transformation, facilitating efficient connections between the real economy and global capital.

Government, Business, and Academia Gather to Celebrate Industry Milestones

Chen Haolian, Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the Hong Kong SAR Government, stated in his speech that currently, global fintech is rapidly reshaping asset allocation and capital flow patterns, with RWA becoming an important bridge connecting digital finance and the real economy. Hong Kong's unique advantages allow it to take the lead in promoting traditional finance into the digital asset era. Under "One Country, Two Systems," Hong Kong can play the roles of a "firewall" and a "testing ground," steadily advancing the development of the digital asset industry. Based on this, it will adhere to the principle of "same business, same risk, same rules," closely monitor market changes, continuously optimize regulatory systems, promote healthy, responsible, and sustainable market development, and further consolidate Hong Kong's status as an international financial center.

Chen Yong, a representative of the National People's Congress from Hong Kong and a member of the Legislative Council, stated that as an international financial center and a hub for digital asset innovation, Hong Kong has three irreplaceable advantages: a compliance-first institutional advantage, a hub advantage connecting internal and external markets, and a resource advantage of ecological aggregation. He further pointed out that from this new starting point, promoting the healthy development of RWA requires grasping three key directions: adhering to compliance bottom lines and building strong safety barriers; focusing on the real economy and returning to the essence of finance; and constructing an open ecosystem to deepen cross-border collaboration. He emphasized that the development of RWA must operate within compliance frameworks while avoiding speculation, thereby serving the real economy and sustainable development, and actively playing Hong Kong's roles as a "super connector," "super value creator," and "super partner" to promote the integration of mainland technology with global capital and international rules.

Cai Jin, General Manager of Bauhinia Magazine, as a representative of the organizers, stated that RWA is an important bridge connecting the real economy and digital finance, as well as a significant direction for the efficient allocation and innovative development of global assets. Relying on the institutional advantages of "One Country, Two Systems," a mature financial system, and an open and inclusive regulatory environment, Hong Kong is becoming the core hub for RWA ecological development. As a mainstream media outlet based in Hong Kong and oriented towards the global market, Bauhinia Magazine is committed to serving the national development strategy, promoting high-quality development of fintech, and assisting Hong Kong in becoming an international innovation and technology center and a global digital finance hub. It aims to work with all sectors to play the role of a media bridge and think tank, disseminating compliance concepts, building industry consensus, and promoting project implementation, allowing RWA to better serve the real economy and benefit the global market.

Wang Xiuhua, Honorary Chair of the International Federation of RWA Ecology, stated that Hong Kong, as an international financial center and a super hub linking East and West, is becoming the best soil for the RWA industry to take root and thrive, thanks to its sound common law system, open capital markets, and leading fintech infrastructure. She hopes to build a cross-regional and cross-industry cooperation platform in Hong Kong to promote RWA's positive contribution to the better development of the global real economy.

Zhuang Jiyong, Chairman of WebX Global Digital Holdings Group, summarized his personal experience by stating that successful businesses must possess multiple dimensions such as globalization, institutionalization, and industrialization. Hong Kong, relying on the country's strong industrial chain, has unique advantages and can widely connect global capital based on active innovation, empowering various industries.

Focusing on Industry Hotspots, Co-creating Development Blueprints

In the afternoon of the event, two parallel forums were held, where thematic speeches focused on industry hotspots and development trends, as well as several roundtable discussions on hot topics such as RWA ecological cooperation, AI & green computing RWA, and RWA applications in various fields like digital art, biomedicine, and new energy. Numerous authoritative experts and representatives from leading enterprises gathered on-site to share cutting-edge insights and strategic analyses.

At the summit, the "2025 Global RWA Review" and "2026 Outlook" were also released, providing references and data support for industry development, while simultaneously conducting strategic signing, resource aggregation, and authoritative award presentations, building bridges for business opportunities and promoting efficient integration of industry resources.

This event was organized by Bauhinia Magazine, in collaboration with the International Federation of RWA Ecology, Triangle Technology (Hong Kong) Limited, WebX Global Digital Holdings Group, Coin Found, and other institutions.
