NVT founder and CEO Zhao Jiangong shared at the forum hosted by Mulan Asset Management about the new opportunities that RWA tokenization brings to financial institutions and industries

Hong Kong, November 7, 2025 -- At the forum hosted by Mulan Investment Management Limited ("Mulan Asset Management") titled "Practices and Prospects of RWA × DAT: Focusing on Technical Architecture, Compliance Framework, and Ecological Construction" ("Mulan Forum"), Zhao Jiankong, founder and CEO of NVTHK Limited, shared at the RWA thematic forum how tokenization creates new opportunities for financial institutions and listed companies, including enhancing capital efficiency, expanding new financing and distribution channels, and promoting sustainable global growth.

Release of RWA White Paper Plan

During the forum, Zhao Jiankong announced that NVT is co-authoring an upcoming monograph on RWA tokenization with global consulting firm Frost & Sullivan. The book will combine theoretical research with practical case studies to provide authoritative references for financial institutions, financial intermediaries, and listed companies looking to develop genuine tokenization strategies.
The current RWA market faces a fundamental trust deficit. Multiple platforms claim to offer "real asset" tokens, but in reality, they are merely speculative tools lacking genuine asset backing, undermining institutional investor confidence and slowing legitimate adoption. The collaboration between NVT and Frost & Sullivan aims to address the urgent need for industry education, regulatory clarity, and market trust in a landscape filled with unregulated products and fraudulent schemes.

New Opportunities for Financial Institutions

According to Zhao Jiankong, tokenization presents three strategic opportunities for financial institutions:

• New Product Forms: Tokenization creates liquid assets that can circulate in secondary markets through blockchain infrastructure, introducing entirely new product forms. This development allows traditional financial products to reach a broader investor base with greater efficiency and transparency through Web3 channels.
• New Distribution Channels: Financial institutions can access more liquid infrastructure through on-chain settlement, exchange listings, secondary trading pools, and previously isolated decentralized market participants. As the use of stablecoins becomes more widespread, on-chain liquidity is expected to expand further, facilitating cross-platform capital flow and trading.
• New Customer Segments: Tokenization enables financial institutions to reach previously hard-to-access investor groups, meeting diverse investment needs through differentiated products supported by institutional-grade offerings, infrastructure, and custody capabilities. This expanded investor coverage helps drive broader market participation and unlock new sources of capital.

New Industrial Opportunities for Listed Companies

Listed companies can also unlock four different value drivers through tokenization:

• Enhanced Financing Capability: From the 1.0 phase of asset tokenization to the 2.0 phase of tradable, distributable digital assets, tokenization allows issuers and investors to transcend geographical limitations and connect with global capital market liquidity.
• Improved Operating Models: On-chain products can achieve digitization, commercialization, and financialization, driving substantial growth in business volume.
• Increased Internal Efficiency: Challenges brought by de-globalization and geographical fragmentation can be transformed into opportunities through borderless on-chain infrastructure. Similarly, technology and capacity output can gain distribution advantages, and trust asymmetry can create arbitrage opportunities, while 24/7 global capital management enhances risk control and capital appreciation, covering regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America, and West Asia.
• AI-Driven Growth: The combination of native tokens and circulating infrastructure supports asset monetization pathways while leveraging data-driven insights to explore additional revenue sources.

Forum Overview

The forum brought together institutional asset managers, investment banks, senior executives from listed companies, compliance experts, and blockchain infrastructure providers to delve into the aforementioned topics through moderated discussions, case study presentations, and audience interactions. Attendees included representatives from major financial institutions in Hong Kong, regulatory affairs professionals, and technology partners active in RWA infrastructure development.
