"Global Trends & Frontier Practices" Consensus 2026 Top Series Salon Around Hong Kong

From February 10 to 12, 2026, the "Global Trends & Frontier Practices" Consensus 2026 top peripheral salon series, jointly initiated by German company Singularity Technology and GaoYing Quantitative, and co-hosted by Huaxia Digital Capital, was successfully held in Hong Kong. The three events focused on three major themes: "Integration of Digital Assets and Traditional Asset Strategies," "RWA and Corporate Web3 Transformation Pathways," and "Hong Kong Gold RWA and Stablecoin Innovation," gathering dozens of industry representatives from quantitative asset management, traditional finance, Web3 infrastructure, legal compliance, and academic research for three days of in-depth dialogue.

The series of salons was centered around the theme "From Strategy Migration to Structural Reconstruction." Participants moved beyond the macro judgment of "whether to enter" and instead focused on practical issues such as the transferability of strategies, the boundaries of asset tokenization, and the executable framework of compliance, presenting a series of industry dialogues that combined industrial depth with institutional rationality.

Day 1 · February 10

Integration and Breakthrough of Digital Assets and Traditional Asset Strategies

The first day's event used quantitative asset management as a starting point, focusing on the strategic positioning and execution logic of digital assets within the global asset allocation system. Lin Mingxuan, head of asset management at Singularity Technology, pointed out in his keynote speech that there are still many pricing error opportunities in the digital asset market that can be quantitatively identified. The significant arbitrage space compared to traditional financial markets is primarily due to the coexistence of high volatility and weak efficiency. He systematically showcased the team's practical accumulation in areas such as futures and spot arbitrage, cross-exchange arbitrage, and fee arbitrage, and introduced the transition path from traditional statistical arbitrage to a machine learning-driven strategy framework.

Xu Cheng, Deputy General Manager of the Product Department at GaoYing International, further explored the cross-market migration practices of high-frequency market-making strategies and CTA strategies. He demonstrated the strategy adaptation path that incorporates crypto-specific factors such as funding rates and on-chain capital flows based on a volume-price model, and shared GaoYing Quantitative's technical accumulation as one of the few institutions in Greater China capable of trading across multiple global markets, particularly in AI-driven trading systems and ultra-low latency architectures. Robin, head of the Giant Stone WEB3 Research Institute, added from a macro perspective that digital currencies are transitioning from high-risk speculative tools to long-term investment vehicles, with RWA tokenization becoming an important infrastructure in this transformation process.

The roundtable discussion was moderated by Mr. Lin Mingxuan, CIO of Singularity Technology, with participation from YT, founder and CEO of SDM Group (Nasdaq: SDM), Austin Liu, chairman of the Puhyung Hedge Fund, Jack Chen, co-founder & CEO of Moon Lab, Keaton, CMO of MSX, and Stella, COO of ArrivalX. The participants agreed that digital assets are evolving from early narrative-driven approaches to strategy-driven ones, with the explainability of revenue sources and the executability of risk management becoming core concerns for institutions. Cross-border payments, especially in the "global laborer" scenario, were seen as the most promising application direction for stablecoins, with on-chain transactions providing new pricing scene supplements for some traditional market liquidity-discounted assets.

Day 2 · February 11

RWA and Tokenized Economy: Corporate Web3 Transformation Pathways

The second day's event shifted the focus from trading strategies to the corporate side, concentrating on the structural role of RWA tokenization in corporate digital transformation. Joy, CMO of Singularity Technology, pointed out in her opening remarks that Web3 technology has transitioned from a technical experiment to a core part of corporate strategic decision-making, helping companies redefine asset allocation, market operations, and business models.

The roundtable was moderated by Ms. Bai Lu, founder of Forest Bai Lu Consulting, with guests including Vito, founder and chairman of Hanfang Capital Group and CEO of the RWA division at China Real Estate Investment (HK0736), Dean, founder of Digireal Assets, Suki, VP of Web3Labs, Ronnie, AI Mall Ecosystem Expander, and Jie Hui, partner at Mankun Law Firm. The participants reached a clear consensus: the core value of RWA tokenization lies not in the "token issuance narrative," but in reconstructing asset liquidity and enhancing the underlying capability of capital efficiency. The biggest challenge companies face in the transformation process is not the technology itself, but how to build a digital asset management framework that meets regulatory requirements while maintaining commercial efficiency.

The triangular relationship between compliance, technology, and rights confirmation ran throughout the discussion. The guests pointed out that the evolution of RWA is moving from concept validation to structural implementation, and future competition will no longer be a contest of technical narratives but a comprehensive competition of compliance capability, asset quality, and ecological synergy efficiency. For companies wishing to enter this field, clarifying their asset attributes, building compliant pathways, and identifying genuine buyer demand are the fundamental paths to navigate through cycles.

Trev Ng, founder & CEO of ChainNeXT Group, further elaborated on the role of RWA tokenization in bridging decentralized finance and traditional assets in his keynote speech. After the speech, ChainNeXT Group and Singularity Technology announced a strategic partnership to jointly create enterprise-level Web3 solutions focusing on RWA tokenization and digital asset infrastructure construction.

Hunter, co-founder of RootData, added from a data perspective that the implementation of RWA tokenization relies on the transparency and verifiability of multidimensional asset data. Their platform is providing infrastructure-level support for asset screening and investor decision-making in the RWA sector through real-time on-chain and off-chain data tracking and transparency scoring systems.

Day 3 · February 12

Hong Kong Gold RWA and Stablecoin Innovation: Real Assets, Currency Forms, and Digital Financial Boundaries

The final day pushed the discussion to deeper institutional levels. The event anchored on gold, a traditional core asset, systematically exploring its tokenization path from "asset on-chain" to "extension of currency attributes."

Xiao Geng, a practice professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) and president of the Hong Kong International Finance Society, made a macro assessment in his opening remarks. He pointed out that the core value of gold RWA lies not only in enhancing the liquidity and transparency of traditional assets but also in providing a credit foundation that can be anchored for the deep integration of traditional finance and the digital economy. Hong Kong's completeness in institutional components such as vaults, licenses, and clearing laws gives it an irreplaceable geographical advantage in the institutional experimentation and cross-border circulation system construction of gold RWA.

Lin Mingxuan, head of asset management at Singularity Technology, used "mobile cross-store arbitrage" as a metaphor to systematically explain the underlying logic of quantitative arbitrage in digital assets. He noted that the digital asset market, due to its high volatility and weak efficiency, offers pricing error opportunities far exceeding those in traditional finance, and validated the sustainability of this structural window period with practical data from strategies such as futures and spot arbitrage and cross-exchange arbitrage. In terms of strategy iteration, the team is transitioning from traditional statistical arbitrage to a machine learning-driven framework to cope with high-frequency changes and nonlinear market characteristics. In terms of risk control, the embedding of multi-layer risk control mechanisms and global real-time monitoring systems ensures the robust operation of strategies in high-volatility environments. As a financial technology institution under the Hong Kong-listed company Singularity Asset Investment Service Group (02270.HK), Singularity Technology's sharing fully presented its strategic thinking and evolution path in migrating from traditional markets to the digital asset sector.

Ye Kai, founding partner of Huaxia Digital Capital, combined the latest regulatory guidelines from the China Securities Regulatory Commission on the offshore issuance of asset-backed securities tokens for domestic assets issued on February 6 to systematically propose a "gold RWA × gold stablecoin" closed-loop path. He emphasized that the key to gold RWA lies not in the "token issuance narrative," but in completing the financial infrastructure for gold—constructing a structured framework that coordinates the asset side, cash side, and trading side around the three hard issues of rights confirmation, reconciliation, and settlement.

Kong Jianping, founder of Nano Labs and director of Hong Kong Cyberport, observed the development stages of Web3 and RWA from the perspectives of compliance integration and industrial integration. Nathan Ma, founder of DMZ.Finance, dissected the four core elements of gold tokenization. Jeremy Lin, founder of On.Nexus, explored potential forms of gold-backed synthetic assets at the settlement and clearing level.

Focusing on "the real challenges of gold tokenization," the first roundtable was moderated by Ye Kai, with participants Wang Zhonghe (senior financial professional), Cynthia Xi (CRO of DigiFT Singapore), and Hazel Yang (head of BD at HashKey CaaS) engaging in a systematic breakdown of the compliance boundaries of the Hong Kong licensing system, on-chain rights confirmation and off-chain custody reconciliation mechanisms, "three-account alignment" structural design, and institutional-level information disclosure standards.

The second roundtable, hosted by Charles Zeng, head of RWA at Guofu Quantum, gathered representatives from various institutions, including Wang Long, chairman of the Greater Bay Area Financial Association, Yoyee Wang, B2B Business Executive at Bybit, Frankie Zeng, CRO of CICC, and Pearce, VP of BenPay, to conduct an in-depth analysis of the underlying logical distinctions between gold stablecoins and gold RWA. The participants reached a consensus: the transition of gold stablecoins from "asset anchor" to "payment tool" hinges not on conceptual innovation but on the authenticity of the redeemable mechanism, the integrity of the compliance framework, the sustainability of liquidity market-making, and whether the costs of integration with the existing financial system can form a closed loop.

Conclusion | Three Dialogues, One Proposition

From the cross-market migration of quantitative strategies to the structural reconstruction of corporate assets, and to the digital expression of gold, a millennia-old asset—while the three events seemed to address different topics, they pointed to the same proposition: the relationship between digital assets and traditional finance is shifting from "whether to integrate" to "how to integrate."

This process does not have a unified answer but has a clear direction. It does not rely on breakthroughs in a single technology but on the verifiability of strategies, the confirmability of assets, the executability of compliance, and the interoperability of infrastructure. It is not a disruption of the existing system but a re-examination and redesign of traditional logic under new technological and market conditions.

The three days of discussion did not provide a conclusion but outlined a path. With more institutions entering the field, more assets being tokenized, and more institutional adaptations, the integration of digital assets and traditional finance will evolve from "node events" to "system evolution." Hong Kong, with its institutional connectivity and market depth, is becoming an indispensable practical field in this evolutionary process.

The "Global Trends & Frontier Practices" will continue to track this process and, in subsequent series of salons, will continue to build a rational dialogue platform across fields and markets around more segmented tracks and institutional topics.
