About RWA Research Institute
The RWA Research Institute was jointly initiated by a number of senior financiers, Web3 practitioners, industry innovators and technical experts, and was officially launched in Hong Kong on June 25, 2024 (full name: RWA Research Institute, abbreviated: RWARI).
As one of the earliest professional RWA research institutions in the world, the RWA Research Institute focuses on the field of real-world assets (RWA) and is committed to promoting the integration of traditional financial assets and blockchain technology. Through in-depth research and practical applications, the Institute provides innovative solutions for investors and businesses, promotes the digitization and tokenization of physical assets, and builds a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets.
The RWA Institute's core mission is to integrate policy research, standard setting, and ecosystem building to help enterprises achieve digital asset transformation and provide technical support and strategic collaboration for global compliance development. Going forward, the Institute will continue to deepen the integration of digital technology and the real economy, collaborate with international organizations to host global industry summits, explore multi-sector application scenarios, and inject new momentum into high-quality global development.
In May 2025, the RWA Research Institute, in collaboration with leading institutions such as China Search and the China Electronics Digital Scene Technology Research Institute, launched the "China RWA Industry Think Tank," focusing on the development of global compliance in the field of asset digitization. The think tank empowers the real economy through three core initiatives: first, spearheading the development of international collaborative standards, such as the "RWA Project Evaluation Standards"; second, building a digital service chain encompassing "asset on-chain, cross-border circulation, and global transactions," integrating blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies; and third, establishing cross-border compliance channels with Hong Kong and Shenzhen as hubs to promote innovation in green finance and cross-border investment and financing. Furthermore, the think tank leverages its "dual-chain integration architecture" (a national-level alliance blockchain and a cross-chain protocol coordination mechanism) to strengthen technological autonomy and data security, and deepen cross-border collaboration and compliance governance.
