On the evening of April 7, the "RWA (Hong Kong) Summit" co-organized by HashKey Chain, BlockbeatHK, and Futurecloud, co-organized by AWS, and participated by LocoBike and Evident, was successfully concluded at the AWS office in Hong Kong. As an important peripheral event of the 2025 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, this summit brought together more than 100 industry leaders and entrepreneurs from government agencies, industry associations, financial institutions and Web3 fields in Shanghai and Hong Kong, and attracted tens of thousands of viewers through online live broadcast.
In the in-depth discussion of compliance framework, technological innovation and market opportunities, HashKey Chain, BlockbeatHK and Futurecloud, as the core participants, have injected new impetus into the development of global RWA from the dimensions of technology empowerment, ecological cooperation and compliance practice.
BlockbeatHK: Technology empowers the real economy and builds a Web3 value network
At the summit, BlockbeatHK consulting partner Eddy Tao shared the company's innovative experience and achievements in empowering the financial and real industries through blockchain technology in the past two years. BlockbeatHK is a Web3.0 comprehensive solution service provider based in Hong Kong and serving the world. Since 2017, the company's core team has been a core open source contributor to the world-renowned cross-chain project Cosmos Ecosystem. It is the main builder of many national and global blockchain infrastructures, and continues to provide technology and product innovation for mainstream public chains such as HashKey Chain. As a strategic technology partner of many global licensed financial institutions, the company is committed to providing digital asset service technology for partner institutions. The company provides a one-stop RWA solution, aiming to use blockchain technology to serve the real economy and promote efficient value circulation. At the same time, the company also operates multiple platforms such as multi-chain cross-chain API service platform, Web3 payment platform, cross-chain browser, digital marketing platform, etc. In his speech, Eddy Tao introduced in detail the latest features of core products such as the RWA asset issuance and management platform, the Web3 payment platform SPARK Pay, and application cases in the fields of green energy, carbon assets, and shared bicycles.
Finally, two major signings of BlockbeatHK became the focus. First, LocoBike, the largest shared bicycle operator in Hong Kong, reached a cooperation with it, and the two parties jointly launched the world's first shared bicycle system that supports cryptocurrency payments. Users can now complete payments through mainstream cryptocurrencies such as USDT, USDC, ETH, and in the future, the two parties will also expand cooperation directions such as new energy assets RWA, tokenized carbon credits and NFT digital marketing. Another cooperation was signed with AWS senior partner Futurecloud. The two parties plan to work together in the fields of marketing and infrastructure services to provide Web3 companies with full-stack support from cloud computing to blockchain technology. These two signings not only demonstrate BlockbeatHK's technical landing capabilities, but also mark the substantial advancement of its "two-way rush" strategy for the real economy and digital finance.
HashKey Chain: Compliance first, reshaping the new paradigm of global asset chain
As an important builder of Hong Kong's compliant financial infrastructure, HashKey Chain demonstrated its unique positioning in the RWA field at the summit. Ellie, head of HashKey Chain BD, delivered a keynote speech entitled "Unlocking Real World Assets on Chain", systematically explaining how HashKey Chain solves the pain points of insufficient liquidity and high participation barriers of traditional assets through technological innovation and compliance design. She pointed out that the current global RWA market size has exceeded one trillion US dollars, but due to regulatory differences and technical barriers, a large number of assets are still in a "dormant" state. HashKey Chain supports asset issuance, mortgage and derivative development by building a compliant and friendly public chain ecosystem, and at the same time uses a multi-level audit mechanism and cross-chain interoperability protocol to achieve secure, reliable and efficient circulation of assets on the chain.
Ellie mentioned that HashKey Chain has currently reached cooperation with traditional financial institutions such as China Pacific Insurance and Bosera Fund, supporting the issuance of multiple financial assets on the chain, and shortening the traditional T+2 cross-border settlement cycle to seconds, significantly reducing intermediate costs, and providing technical support for the implementation of large-scale financial applications.
This technological advantage was further extended in the subsequent roundtable discussion. The first roundtable session with the theme of "RWA drives global asset flows: compliance framework, technological innovation and market opportunities" was hosted by Ginzy Wu, head of HashKey Chain BR. Ellie had an in-depth dialogue with guests from Aitos.io, Evident, Junhe Law Firm, and Prosynergy.
Ellie put forward insights from the perspective of compliance framework and technology synergy, emphasizing that the outbreak of RWA requires regulatory transparency as a prerequisite, and Hong Kong, as a hub connecting the international market, can provide trial and error space for innovation through the "regulatory sandbox" mechanism. At the same time, the combination of cross-chain technology, zero-knowledge proof and oracle network will effectively solve core issues such as asset confirmation, price discovery and reliable on-chain data of off-chain. This view echoes the logic of technology empowerment emphasized by BlockbeatHK, highlighting the industry consensus that both compliance and innovation are equally important.
AWS: A technological powerhouse in Web3
As the host of this event, AWS has deep accumulation in the field of Web3. Its Web3 technical director Kong Lei expressed his warm welcome to all guests at the event and introduced the long-term experience and achievements of the AWS team in the field of Web3. AWS solution architect Kelvin Law shared typical service cases of two major exchange customers using AWS to achieve high security, scalability and global compliance. As an AWS senior partner, Futurecloud continues to promote the application and expansion of Web3 technology in the market through cooperation with all parties, and helps the prosperity and development of the industry ecosystem.
Two-way resonance between technical practice and compliance exploration
Throughout the summit, although BlockbeatHK and HashKey Chain's practice paths have different focuses, they are highly coordinated in the underlying logic. BlockbeatHK demonstrated the immediate application value of blockchain technology in consumer scenarios through the LocoBike cooperation case, and its ecological linkage with Futurecloud laid the foundation for the large-scale deployment of Web3 infrastructure; HashKey Chain connects with traditional financial needs from the public chain level and clears the key bottlenecks of asset chain through compliance design. The two jointly built a complete ecological closed loop from technical tools to financial infrastructure.
It is worth noting that both institutions regard "compliance" as a core competitive advantage. This in-depth implementation of compliance not only sets a benchmark for the industry, but also closely aligns with Hong Kong's strategic goal of building a "global virtual asset center."
Hong Kong: A new fulcrum for the integration of digital finance and the real economy
With the conclusion of the roundtable discussion, this summit, with Hong Kong as the fulcrum, sent a strong signal to the world about the compliance development of RWA. The practice of BlockbeatHK and HashKey Chain shows that blockchain technology is breaking through the single narrative of cryptocurrency and turning to the deep value of supporting the digitization of physical assets and global flows. Whether it is the combination of shared bicycles and cryptocurrency payments, or the exponential improvement of cross-border settlement efficiency, these cases reveal the subversive potential of Web3 technology to traditional business models.
Standing at the critical point of the integration of the digital economy and the real economy, Hong Kong, with its unique policy environment and status as an international financial center, is becoming an ideal place for RWA innovation experiments. The future competition is not only a competition of technology, but also a competition of ecology. When the compliance framework, technological innovation and market demand resonate, a global financial revolution with asset chain as the link has quietly begun.
