HONG KONG, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RWA Group (formerly NFT China), a subsidiary of Digital Collection China (Hong Kong) Limited, today announced that the world's first RWA (Real World Assets) trading platform dedicated to non-financial assets will officially launch in early August 2025. The platform aims to achieve compliant digitization, efficient trading, and global circulation of non-financial assets through blockchain technology, filling a structural gap in the current market.

Strategic Layout and Core Advantages

RWA Group (formerly NFT China) began systematically positioning itself in the RWA sector as early as 2023, establishing this as its core strategic direction. The company's innovative RWA financial solutions have been piloted in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), a smart manufacturing center with integrated industrial chains. Hong Kong carries the mission of "Hong Kong for investment and research, GBA for manufacturing, global markets for sales" amid the fintech wave. Traditional factories transitioning to smart robotics face supply chain funding shortages, which conventional solutions like bank loans or financial leasing cannot fully resolve. Leveraging deep industry expertise and commercial insight, RWA Group designed a refined compliance framework to tokenize such cases, enabling front-end RWA-based NFT trading and back-end capital infusion into supplychains, successfully implementing the solution.

The non-financial RWA trading platform launched by RWA Group adopts the ERC-3643 protocol as its technical backbone. This protocol is a global standard for compliant asset digitization due to its robust security features, identity verification mechanisms, and compliance functions (e.g., transfer control rules), effectively meeting institutional users' stringent requirements for on-chain asset management.

To enhance international appeal and settlement efficiency, RWA Group will achieve a major breakthrough: Beyond integrating compliant USD stablecoins on EVM, Solana, and TRON chains, the platform will support licensed offshore RMB and HKD stablecoins, allowing users to price assets and settle transactions using RMB or HKD stablecoins. This initiative may establish the first trading pair between offshore RMB stablecoins and RWAs, creating new application scenarios for offshore RMB stablecoins. It paves the way for global circulation of Chinese assets while providing international investors a convenient investment gateway anchored to robust currencies.

Market Opportunity and Platform Value

Despite growing global RWA market activity, the digitization of non-financial assets faces multiple challenges. Nearly all tokenized RWA products currently use financial assets as underlying collateral, constrained by limited professional investor recognition, illiquidity, fragmented compliance standards, and technical protocol in consistencies. Substantial non-financial assets—including rare collectible sand fan economy assets—suffer from severe information asymmetry in traditional trading models, hindering circulation efficiency. Simultaneously, the lack of unified standards for asset rights verification and pricing mechanisms complicates cross-border transactions with legal and regulatory barriers, impeding global value discovery. The market demands an independent platform dedicated to non-financial RWAs, integrating advanced technical standards, providing professional services, and enforcing strict quality control and transaction compliance.

Innovative Business Model

RWA Group's non-financial RWA trading platform proposes a novel "RWA Exchange + E-commerce" model. Project issuers can exchange goods for corresponding tokens on the platform, while users can redeem tokens for physical goods. This integration of traditionale-commerce and RWA finance accelerates market entry and attracts broader participation from projects and users.

Building a Compliance Ecosystem andEmbracing Industry Standards

RWA.ltd platform actively participates in industry standardization, having joined two key RWA-related consortium working groups: RWA Technical Specifications and RWA Project Evaluation Standards, committed to fostering healthy and orderly industry development. Meanwhile, its Hainan-based platform Digital Collection China has issued China's first RWA digital collectible redeemable for physical goods (non-financial assets), validating RWA technology's potential in connecting real-world economies and its market acceptance.

Expert Endorsement and Compliance Progress

The operating entity possesses strong foundations. Major shareholder Fu Rao has extensive research expertise inWeb3.0 and the new economy. As CEO of the Hong Kong International New Economic Research Institute (INERI), he has actively promoted RWA and stablecoin concepts via authoritative media (e.g., Ta Kung Pao, Securities Times, LianheZaobao) since 2018.

Platform technology operations are jointly managed by INERI and RWA Group, ensuring design alignment with multi-jurisdictional regulatory requirements. The platform evolved from NFT exchange NFT China.hk, which holds substantial global compliance experience,including U.S. MSB registration and SEC-filed RWA-type NFT issuance in the U.S., making it an early pioneer in RWA tokenization. Transitioning from NFT to FT trading, the platform now focuses exclusively on non-financial assets. Building on existing compliance foundations, it plans to apply for operational licenses in open financial hubs like Hong Kong, Dubai, and Kazakhstan to enable compliant trading of securitized RWA tokens.

Policy Environment and ChinaOpportunity

Within China, regulatory authorities maintain strong focus on blockchain-enabled real economic development. Multiple policies support using blockchain technology to advance asset digitization and enhance circulation efficiency. RWA has become a hotspot in A-share, H-share, and U.S.-listed Chinese company markets, with relevant firms actively exploring RWA applications and collaboration opportunities in public disclosures.

Co-Building a Global RWA Ecosystem

RWA Group embraces open collaboration to build a robust ecosystem. The platform is partnering with investment banks to provide end-to-end solutions—from structuring to compliant issuance—for Chinese listed companies/entities pursuing asset digitization. It is also establishing partnerships with forward-thinking RWA investment banking partners across Chinese provinces.

As a core strategy, RWA Group will prioritize RWA conversion of high-quality non-financial assets from China (including Hong Kong and global Chinese-held assets), leveraging its global influence and compliance channels to facilitate worldwide promotion, value discovery, and circulation of "Chinese assets."

Future Outlook: Innovative Financial Connectivity

Long-term, RWA Group will explore innovative financial models. The platform has incorporated a "coin-stock linkage" mechanism into its roadmap to deepen connectivity between crypto and traditional financial markets, pioneer new value-discovery pathways, and deliver diversified investment experiences.
