May 12, 2026 - Esperanza Financial Technology (Securities) Limited ("Esperanza" or "Company") is pleased to announce that its managed tokenized fund will participate in co-hosting the Hong Kong local theater IP project "Big Dragon Phoenix" under the company One Cool Group Limited ("One Cool"). Both parties have signed a cooperation arrangement regarding this project. One Cool is a subsidiary of One Cool Group. This collaboration marks Esperanza's further extension of its compliant financial technology solutions to the Hong Kong theater, cultural IP, and fan engagement scene, continuing to explore the commercial value and application potential of cultural entertainment assets under a new financial model.

One Cool Group is a representative comprehensive film and entertainment enterprise in Hong Kong, with businesses covering film, television, production, post-production, artist management, and related entertainment industry services. This collaboration with One Cool not only reflects Esperanza's ongoing expansion of the tokenization application scenarios for cultural entertainment assets, but also showcases the greater development possibilities for local quality content and IP projects under the new financial model in Hong Kong.

As a financial technology and real-world asset tokenization platform based in Hong Kong and targeted at the Asia-Pacific region, Esperanza is committed to connecting quality assets, qualified investors, content holders, project operators, and fan communities within a compliant framework, establishing financial infrastructure for cultural entertainment projects that offers more transparency, participation, and extensibility.

Esperanza Group CEO and Chief Legal Officer Liang Wai Chun stated:

“The ‘Big Dragon Phoenix’ project is not just a theater collaboration; it is another important practical case of Esperanza in the realm of financialization of cultural entertainment assets in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has always been an important city at the intersection of Asian culture, creativity, and finance. We hope to use Hong Kong as a starting point to combine local quality cultural entertainment content with new financial technology tools, promoting deeper value connections among content holders, project operators, fan communities, and qualified investors. In this project, Esperanza will also be the first to launch a tokenized experience application in Hong Kong, allowing supporters to participate in ticket exchanges, exclusive merchandise, and cultural entertainment experience consumption through related tokenization arrangements, further extending the interactive relationship between stage works and audiences. Through compliant tokenization solutions, Esperanza will continue to assist more projects with cultural value and market potential in establishing a more flexible, transparent, and participatory new financial connection model.”

One Cool Group CFO Huang Wing Yan stated:

“We are very pleased to collaborate with the Esperanza team. In today's diverse entertainment industry ecosystem, innovation in financial structure is critical for driving the development of the creative industry. Through this collaboration, we look forward to utilizing professional financial technology tool solutions to explore more flexible business possibilities for Hong Kong's cultural entertainment assets.”

This collaboration also reflects Esperanza's ongoing layout in the field of entertainment and cultural assets. The company is actively exploring more projects with tokenization potential and business extensibility, covering film, live entertainment, theater IP, licensing business, AI immersive entertainment, multimedia applications, experiential scenarios, as well as other categories with real asset foundations and commercial cash flow potential.

Esperanza anticipates that, with the rapid development of the content industry, fan engagement models, artificial intelligence technologies, and immersive entertainment ecosystems in the Asia-Pacific region, the market will require more mature compliant financial platforms to assist quality cultural entertainment projects in expanding capital connections, community participation, and commercialization capabilities. Currently, the company is evaluating and advancing multiple related projects, with potential project reserves expected to exceed HKD 2 billion, covering entertainment culture, licensed IP, properties, multimedia, AI immersive entertainment, and other applications of real-world assets.

Esperanza emphasizes that the company will continue to prioritize compliance, transparency, and sustainable development, promoting the financialization of cultural entertainment assets from traditional project financing and single consumption models towards a more institutionalized, digitalized, and participatory new financial market model, creating new growth space for the creative industries in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region.
