On January 9, the 2025 Hong Kong Wealth Management Summit Forum and the 12th "Hong Kong Stocks 100 Strong" Awards Ceremony were grandly held in Hong Kong. Alec, the head of HTX Ventures, and Molly, the ambassador of HTX DAO, were invited to attend and shared insights on topics such as the development trends of Hong Kong's wealth management industry, investment directions, and cross-industry collaboration in the RWA ecosystem.
Strategic Focus: Concentrating on Productive RWA, AI Finance, and Compliant Payments
During the roundtable forum titled "Global Asset Allocation New Benchmark: The Rise and Future Landscape of Hong Kong Wealth Management," Alec, the head of HTX Ventures, analyzed that as the regulatory environment gradually clarifies and institutional funds continue to enter the market, the following areas are particularly noteworthy in the integration of global wealth management and Web3 in the current and future periods:
Productive RWA (Yield-generating Real-World Assets): Focusing on innovative platforms that tokenize traditionally high-threshold private equity (PE), private credit, and green financial debt.
AI-Driven Automated Asset Management (AI-Agentic Finance): Paying attention to middleware technology solutions that effectively integrate AI strategies with SFC compliance frameworks.
Compliant Stablecoins and Payment Gateways: Developing cross-border trade settlement and B2B payment businesses with Hong Kong dollar stablecoins at the core, building the underlying infrastructure for wealth management, and achieving instant conversion of traditional fiat assets into on-chain configurable assets.

Evolution of Investment Logic: Building Evergreen Foundation Amid "Dynamic Changes"
Beyond selecting sectors, HTX Ventures places greater emphasis on whether projects possess the ability to survive and evolve in a "dynamically changing market environment" over the long term. Alec further pointed out that HTX Ventures focuses on evaluating the following three core elements:
Architectural Flexibility: In an increasingly multipolar global regulatory environment, modular and scalable technical architectures enable projects to quickly adapt to compliance requirements in different regions without reconstructing underlying systems.
Sustained Market Competitiveness and Demand Matching Capability: HTX Ventures not only provides financial support to projects but also helps them establish efficient feedback loops and agile iteration mechanisms through its global user data and industry insights, ensuring they are not eliminated in the highly competitive Web3+AI sector.
Ecosystem Linkage and "Unique Asset" Introduction: Leveraging the global fund and ecosystem cooperation matrix built by HTX Ventures, projects are directly connected to unique asset ends worldwide, shortening their cycle from "proof of concept" to "commercial realization," thereby establishing first-mover advantages in fierce competition.
Alec emphasized that HTX Ventures will continue to focus on early-stage projects with cutting-edge technology and real application value, improve blockchain infrastructure investment, and accelerate the large-scale adoption of Web3.
The Role and Core Value of Blockchain in the RWA Ecosystem
HTX DAO Ambassador Molly, at the roundtable forum titled "Exploring New Paths for Cross-Industry Empowerment to Drive High-Quality Development of the RWA Ecosystem," analyzed that the key to achieving cross-border collaboration in RWA lies in role restructuring through resource complementarity. She pointed out that the real economy should provide real, sustainable assets and cash flow foundations, financial institutions are responsible for structural design, risk management, and compliance output, while blockchain and Web3 infrastructure serve as the central hub for rights confirmation, circulation, and automated settlement.

Molly further emphasized that the core value of blockchain in cross-industry RWA collaboration does not lie in "on-chain" itself but in the systematic restructuring of collaboration processes and trust mechanisms. Through on-chain rights confirmation and information transparency, all participants can verify asset status, income distribution, and risk exposure in a unified ledger in real time, reducing information asymmetry; by using smart contracts to achieve automatic accounting, clearing, and maturity payment, manual operations and execution friction can be significantly reduced, thereby promoting the shift of trust from "human endorsement" to "institutional and code constraints," effectively lowering communication and trust costs between the financial and real industries.
HTX Ventures Honored as "Hong Kong Stocks 100 Strong" Annual Best Web3 Venture Capital Institution
It is worth mentioning that during this event, HTX Ventures was awarded the "Annual Best Web3 Venture Capital Institution" award for its continuous dedication and outstanding investment performance in the global Web3 ecosystem.
In recent years, HTX Ventures has consistently increased its investment in Web3 underlying infrastructure and innovative application sectors, forming a clear and stable investment logic in the integration of blockchain technology with real business scenarios, exploration of global compliance paths, and long-term value investment. Its systematic layout has received high recognition from the industry.
The "Hong Kong Stocks 100 Strong" selection activity began in 2012, co-initiated by Tencent.com and Finet Group. By releasing lists and awarding prizes, it promotes the healthy and prosperous development of the Hong Kong capital market. At the same time, the event combines summit forums with award ceremonies to discuss financial market and economic trends, and its influence has expanded year by year, becoming one of the annual grand events in Hong Kong's financial and economic circles.
As a deep participant in the global Web3 wave, this award for HTX Ventures is not only an affirmation of past achievements but also an incentive for its future strategy of deepening its roots in Hong Kong and connecting globally. Hong Kong is becoming a high ground for the global institutional narrative of Web3, and HTX Ventures and HTX DAO will continue to play the roles of "connectors" and "enablers," committed to introducing unique assets, compliant technical architectures, and forward-looking business models into the Hong Kong market, jointly promoting the healthy and prosperous development of Hong Kong's capital market.
