Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025 drew global attention as Avalanche joined forces with Animoca Brands, Tether, and HashKey Exchange for an exclusive RWA-focused event. The closed-door session brought senior leaders from finance and blockchain together as they explored new ways to bring real-world assets onto digital rails. The meeting also showed how Hong Kong is shaping its role in the fast-growing RWA and tokenized finance sector.
Avalanche Partners with Key Industry Firms
The event, named “Capital Reimagined: The RWA Salon,” gathered teams from Avalanche, Animoca Brands, Tether, and HashKey Exchange. The collaboration showed the shared goal of building systems that move traditional assets into digital formats while keeping the process secure.
Avalanche presented its network tools that support asset tokenization for items such as real estate and bonds. Its team explained how the chain can support faster settlement and stable operations for regulated financial products.
Animoca Brands introduced NUVA, its new RWA investment platform that gives users simple channels to access tokenized assets. A spokesperson said NUVA aims to close the gap between traditional investors and digital asset markets. NUVA also plans to support global users with a structure similar to online banking.
Tether addressed the role of stablecoin-backed liquidity and how it can support trade in tokenized markets. The company discussed the need for steady liquidity pools so that RWA platforms can operate without delays and with predictable pricing.
HashKey Exchange shared its on-chain finance models that follow Hong Kong’s regulatory rules. Representatives Ben El-Baz and Andy Lee explained how the exchange is working with institutions to build trust and offer compliant access to tokenized products.
Tokenization Becomes a Core Theme
Speakers at the event said tokenization is moving from concept to real use. They discussed how assets like property, commodities, and securities can be issued in digital form so investors can trade them at any time.
Attendees also learned how tokenization can open new channels for fractional ownership. This allows users to buy smaller portions of assets that would normally require high capital. The speakers stated that these systems can help widen access for both institutions and retail users.
Participants also noted that blockchain can bring faster settlement for asset transfers. They described how this reduces delays that come from outdated clearing systems in traditional markets.
Hong Kong’s Growing Role in RWA Finance
Hong Kong’s updated digital asset rules were also a key subject. The city’s Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) licensing framework continued to draw interest from global firms. HashKey representatives said the model is helping Hong Kong build a stable environment for RWA projects.
The city also introduced the Stablecoin Ordinance earlier in 2025, which supports regulated use of stablecoins. Speakers said rules like these can help maintain trust for users who want access to tokenized assets.
Hong Kong FinTech Week served as a platform for firms to share progress, form new links, and show real examples of tokenized finance. The RWA Salon gave attendees a clear view of the tools, platforms, and regulatory plans shaping the next phase of the market. The session also showed why Hong Kong continues to attract RWA-focused groups from across the world.
