It is reported that Qingdao International Copyright Exchange Center has reached a comprehensive strategic cooperation intention with RWAChain Foundation through the Hong Kong International Property Exchange (under preparation) after nearly a month of in-depth communication. It is revealed that the two parties will jointly invest in RWAChain Group Limited based on the consensus of cooperation, and plan to use Hong Kong as a strategic hub to apply for full licenses No. 1/4/7/9 from the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission to build the world's first compliant digital asset trading platform based on physical asset tokenization (RWA).

Three core highlights attracted industry attention

1. Hong Kong's first non-HashKey high-performance RWA Layer1 public chain infrastructure

Different from the alliance chain or public chain hosting model commonly adopted by existing licensed institutions in Hong Kong, RWAChain seizes the opportunity with its native Layer1 blockchain + EVM-compatible alliance chain architecture. As the world's first infrastructure focusing on DeFi and Web3 tokenization ecology, RWAChain adopts the POCI+DPoS hybrid consensus mechanism, supports an average daily processing capacity of more than 100,000 transactions, and reduces the initial constant 31 billion tokens to 3.1 billion in circulation through a double-layer deflation model (the main network ReitsChain before the fork has mined 650 million tokens through the PoW mechanism), combining security and liquidity. Its compliance layer covers a diversified matrix of RWA, including real estate, zero-carbon assets, and supply chains, and realizes cost reduction and efficiency improvement of the RWA compliance layer through AI Agent drive, which forms a natural complement to the national copyright resources held by Qingdao International Copyright Trading Center.

2. International team + mainland state-owned capital background builds a double trust barrier

This cooperation brings together a top lineup from across the political, business and academic circles:

• Habsburg Advisory Trust, as the core supporter of RWAChain Foundation, provides inherent advantages in asset custody and cross-border compliance;

• The strategic committee led by Sonny Ma (Executive Chairman of the Davos Global Digital Transformation Forum and former Senior Vice President of JD Group) provides top-level wisdom and strong technical support for the design of compliance architecture;

• The deep involvement of Qingdao Guoban Holding Group provides strong financial support and policy endorsement for the license application.

The two parties have built the "technology + scenario + compliance" triangle through the joint venture's equity arrangements and division of labor and cooperation (including but not limited to: copyright confirmation + technology implementation + financial license).

3. Web3 industry breakthrough: Accelerated compliance will give birth to a trillion-dollar market

According to Chainalysis data, the global digital asset compliance market size will reach US$32 billion in 2024, while the RWA field is still on the eve of an explosion. This cooperation directly hits the pain points of the industry:

• Technological breakthrough: RWAChain’s blockchain evidence storage system has passed the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission’s “Guidelines on Algorithmic Trading Supervision” certification, making transaction data tamper-proof;

• Model innovation: the first closed loop of “copyright asset chain + automated transaction + asset management”, lowering the threshold for digitalization of traditional assets;

• Compliance benchmark: The target company strictly complies with the Hong Kong Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance and establishes a HK$30 million quick-flow capital pool to clear entry barriers for institutional investors.

Industry analysts pointed out that this cooperation is expected to become the first "copyright + RWA" compliance standard in Asia + Europe, promoting the evolution of digital assets from speculative tools to mainstream asset classes.

Market impact: Three major trend predictions under the wave of compliance

1. Acceleration of asset on-chain: Non-standard assets such as traditional copyrights and carbon assets will flood into the on-chain market on a large scale. It is expected that the scale of the RWA track will exceed US$50 billion within three years;

2. Competition for licenses is heating up: The value of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's licenses No. 1/4/7/9 is becoming more prominent, which may trigger a new round of mergers and acquisitions among licensed institutions;

3. Cross-chain interoperability becomes a rigid demand: RWAChain’s two-layer deflation model and cross-chain interoperability upgrade provide a technical sample for multi-chain asset mapping.

The head of Qingdao International Copyright Trading Center said: "We are witnessing the digitalization of assets moving from proof of concept to large-scale commercial use. Through technical collaboration with RWAChain, we will build a global copyright asset digitalization hub."

Alfred, CEO of RWAChain Network, emphasized: "This cooperation is not only the superposition of licenses, but also the deep integration of technical standards and compliance systems. Our goal is to allow physical assets to circulate freely like Bitcoin."
