PANAMA CITY, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 9, the 2025 Hong Kong Wealth Management Summit and the 12th Hong Kong Listed Companies Awards Ceremony were held in Hong Kong. Alec, Head of HTX Ventures, was invited to share insights on the evolving landscape of Hong Kong's wealth management industry, and cross-industry collaboration within the Real-World Asset (RWA) ecosystem. Strategic Conviction: Productive RWAs, AI Finance, and Compliant Payments Speaking at the panel discussion "A New Global Benchmark for Asset Allocation: The Rise of Hong Kong Wealth Management and Its Future Outlook," Alec analyzed that as regulatory clarity improves and institutional capital flows into the market, several key directions within the convergence of global wealth management and Web3 deserve sustained attention: Yield-Generating Real-World Assets: Platforms focused on tokenizing traditionally high-barrier assets such as private equity (PE), private credit, and green finance debt instruments. AI-Agentic Finance: Middleware solutions that effectively integrate AI-driven investment strategies with Hong Kong SFC-compliant frameworks. Compliant Stablecoins and Payment Gateways: Centered around HKD-backed stablecoins, these infrastructures support cross-border trade settlement and B2B payments, serving as foundational layers for wealth management by enabling the instant conversion of traditional fiat assets into on-chain assets. HTX Ventures head, Alec at the roundtable Evolving Investment Logic: Building Foundations Amid Constant Change Beyond sector selection, HTX Ventures emphasizes a project's ability to evolve within a shifting market. Alec highlighted three core evaluation dimensions: Architectural Flexibility: In an increasingly multipolar regulatory landscape, modular and scalable system architectures enable projects to adapt to jurisdiction-specific compliance requirements without reconstructing their core infrastructure. Sustained Competitiveness and Demand Alignment: HTX Ventures goes beyond capital deployment by leveraging its global user data and industry insights to help projects establish efficient feedback loops and agile iteration mechanisms, ensuring long-term relevance in the competitive Web3 and AI arena. Ecosystem Connectivity and Access to Unique Assets: Through its global fund network and ecosystem partnerships, HTX Ventures directly connects projects to unique asset sources worldwide, significantly shortening the cycle from proof of concept to commercial monetization, and helping the projects secure first-mover advantages. Alec emphasized that HTX Ventures will continue to invest in projects combining frontier technology with real-world utility in their early stages, strengthen blockchain infrastructure investments, and help accelerate the large-scale adoption of Web3. HTX Ventures Awarded "Best Web3 Venture Capital of the Year" At the ceremony, HTX Ventures was honored with the "Best Web3 Venture Capital of the Year" award, in recognition of its sustained contributions to the global Web3 ecosystem and its outstanding investment performance.

Policy Statement 2.0 outlines a clear roadmap for fostering a trusted ecosystem, with enhanced regulatory clarity, support for emerging technologies, and incentives to attract global talent and capital. Beyond financial support, Cyberport provides assistance and coordination with stakeholders to ensure effective implementation through 'Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme'. The scheme encourages partnerships between technology companies and qualified project sponsors from various sectors, allowing for real-world testing and validation within our comprehensive regulatory regime. This ensures alignment with the highest standards for investor and consumer protection. These pilots are accelerating tangible applications across tokenised assets, payments, RegTech, and the creator economy. These successes align perfectly with the HKSAR Government's broader efforts in digital assets. Web3.0 Innovation Expo is a catalyst for the next wave of blockchain-enabled innovation and digital asset adoption."

Cyberport is committed to accelerating the transformation of blockchain innovations into real-life applications, promoting blockchain applications in society and business, and nurturing blockchain talent while raising public awareness of the technology. The recently launched 'Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme' received an overwhelming response with over 200 applications, and ultimately 9 projects were approved, covering real‑world asset tokenisation, next-generation payment, risk management, and decentralised digital identity. These pilot projects address market pain points with innovative solutions, setting benchmarks for future blockchain innovations."

Professor Jack Poon, Advisory Panel member of Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme, Member of Web3 Task Force and Honorary Professor of Practice, The University of Hong Kong, delivered a keynote speech sharing the latest developments in Hong Kong's Web3.0 landscape and exploring challenges in promoting stablecoin and RWA tokenisation.

Through our key investment instruments such as Cyberport Investors Network and Cyberport Macro Fund, alongside signature initiatives like CVCF and comprehensive entrepreneurship programmes, Cyberport has driven pivotal capital from global investors to springboard high-potential start-ups to success. Despite a challenging global investment environment over the past year, our start-ups raised HK$3.4 billion over the past year. This year's CVCF will focus on thriving VC markets, such as the Middle East, ASEAN, and Chinese Mainland, leveraging opportunities arising from the Belt and Road countries and regions, to play the important roles as a "super-connector" and "super value-adder" in connecting the Chinese Mainland and the global markets."

Several Cyberport companies have also secured substantial financing rounds worth tens of millions of US dollars. Serving as a vital bridge, the Cyberport Investors Network achieved a threefold year-on-year growth over the past year. The strength of our network lies in its international reach, now comprising over 220 investment entities. To capture global technology investment trends, we have launched the 'AI Investors Circle' this year, dedicated to precise matching for AI companies with strong and sustainable fundraising potential. Looking ahead, as the HKSAR Government deepens its global connectivity, particularly with high-growth Belt and Road markets such as the Middle East and ASEAN, Cyberport will actively attract more influential global investors and facilitate greater investment matching with our high-potential companies, further amplifying the global impact of Hong Kong's start-up ecosystem." CIN Celebrates 8th Anniversary, Launches "AI Investors Circle" to Connect High-Potential AI Start-ups As Hong Kong's digital tech hub, AI accelerator and key incubator, Cyberport actively connects global investors with start-ups through diverse funding channels to foster the robust growth of Cyberport enterprises. Cyberport leverages the Cyberport Investors Network (CIN) as a strategic bridge to attract global capital and continuously support high-potential enterprises. Since its inception in 2017, CIN has facilitated over HK$4.258 billion in cumulative funding, a year-on-year increase of over HK$1.66 billion, representing a threefold growth, accounted for nearly half of the annual fundraising total by Cyberport companies. CIN has facilitated a cumulative total of 109 projects, up by 13 from last year. CIN's investment units have also grown by over 20, now exceeding 220, with 15% from the Greater Bay Area and Chinese Mainland, 14% from Asia-Pacific and ASEAN, and an expanding presence in the Middle East, Europe and the America, effectively aggregating global venture capital resources.

PANAMA CITY, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global leading cryptocurrency exchange HTX made a commanding appearance at Blockchain Life 2025 in Dubai from October 28-29, serving as a Sapphire sponsor. The two-day summit gathered leaders, institutional investors, and innovators from blockchain, cryptocurrency, Web3, and mining sectors across more than 100 countries, to explore the latest trends shaping the future of the crypto industry. HTX brand featured across the venue As one of the industry's leaders, HTX showcased its latest strategies in global market expansion and ecosystem innovation, earning strong recognition from both industry peers and international media for its vision, resilience, and influence in the global crypto landscape. Crowds gathering at HTX's exhibition booth HTX Ventures Head: "Rebuilding Market Confidence Requires Stable Liquidity and Security" During the conference, Alec Goh, Head of HTX Ventures, joined a panel discussion titled "Crypto Market 2025: New Growth or Continued Stagnation?" where he shared in-depth insights on the structural shifts shaping the digital asset market. Alec Goh at the roundtable Alec noted that the Oct 11 black swan event revealed the fragility of the current crypto market structure, from thin liquidity and excessive leverage by retail investors to overreliance on a few large market makers. The automated deleveraging mechanisms on exchanges, he said, triggered a domino effect that further deepened the market drawdown. "The market is now entering a post-speculation consolidation phase, similar to what we saw in 2016 or 2019," Alec explained. "While short-term excitement has cooled, real builders are quietly expanding their share of the market. To restore retail confidence, the industry must return to fundamentals of stronger liquidity, safer trading systems, and higher-quality projects." Looking ahead, Alec identified AI and blockchain integration as the next major development cycle, drawing parallels to the early days of DeFi in 2018. "In the next two to three years, we may see AI Agents interacting directly with smart contracts, and Initial Model Offerings (IMOs) emerging as a new fundraising paradigm. That could mark the start of the next major wave." HTX Ventures Rises to the Top Tier, Focusing on Ease of Use and Practicality At the conference's awards ceremony, HTX Ventures, the investment arm of HTX, was honored with the title of "Web3 Venture Capital Fund of the Year." The recognition highlights the firm's global influence, forward-looking investment strategy, and consistent outperformance across the Web3 sector. Over the past three years, HTX Ventures has achieved a 2.25x multiple on invested capital (MOIC), reflecting its disciplined approach to identifying high-potential blockchain projects. In addition, HTX was ranked among the Top 3 centralized exchanges of the year, reaffirming its position as one of the most trusted and innovative platforms in the global crypto industry. HTX Ventures' trophy at Blockchain Life 2025 These honors reflect the market's confidence in HTX's leadership in innovation, investment foresight, and industry advancements. As Alec emphasized, HTX Ventures remains committed to its mission of "making blockchain easier and more useful." Moving forward, it will continue focusing on the DeFi, AI agents, RWA tokenization, and blockchain infrastructure sectors, accelerating the growth and adoption of quality Web3 projects worldwide.

Dr Rocky Cheng, CEO of Cyberport, said, "Cyberport actively serves as a 'super-connector' and 'super value-adder', enhancing the fundraising capabilities of start-ups and connecting them with domestic and international capital and markets. To date, Cyberport start-ups have collectively raised HK$46 billion, with nine new listed companies and two unicorns joining our community this year, underscoring the growing fundraising strength of Cyberport's enterprises. The venture capital market is increasingly focused on cutting-edge technologies such as AI, blockchain, and digital assets, with AI-driven innovation leading global capital flow. This year's CVCF aligns with these trends, providing a vital platform to connect high-potential AI, blockchain, and digital assets companies in Cyberport with this substantial capital flow, helping start-ups transcend boundaries, secure financing, and ignite their path to success, while enabling investors to identify and match with high-potential start-ups for superior returns." Cyberport Community Raised HK$46 Billion in funding, with AI and Web3.0 as Market Focus Despite a challenging venture capital environment, Cyberport's start-ups have demonstrated robust fundraising performance over the past year. From October 2024 to September 2025, Cyberport companies raised nearly HK$3.4 billion in total, bringing the cumulative total to HK$46 billion. During the year, nine Cyberport companies successfully listed, including Yunji Technology and Xunfei Healthcare, which achieved listing within six months after landing at Cyberport, alongside Cyberport incubatees Diginex and Real Messenger. Additionally, Cyberport welcomed two unicorns, Qiangnao Technology, valued at US$1.3 billion, and Inspur Cloud, valued at US$2.5 billion, injecting powerful momentum into the I&T ecosystem. Recent high-value fundraising rounds include Bowtie, DigiFT, Klook, KPay, KUN, Hashkey Group, LeapXpert, Animoca Brands, and more, many of which leverage AI, blockchain, and digital assets, reflecting the market's focus on AI and Web3.0, underscoring Cyberport's success in fostering the development of these industries. Hendrick Sin, Chairman of Cyberport Investors Network (CIN) Steering Group; Co-Founder of CMGE Technology Group Limited; Chairman of China Prosperity Capital, said, "The global market presents both challenges and opportunities, with AI continuing to dominate high value transactions. Building on last year's establishment of the 'Web3.0 Investment Circle', which successfully gathered over 40 investors focused on blockchain and digital assets, we have now launched the 'AI Investment Circle' to connect AI companies showing strong fundraising potentials. Through various financing channels, Cyberport continues to link global investors with start-ups. Cyberport Investors Network (CIN) has facilitated nearly HK$4.26 billion in investments, while Cyberport Macro Fund (CMF), alongside co-investments, has contributed close to HK$1.99 billion, reflecting strong investor confidence in Cyberport companies. The CVCF further connects international investors, industry leaders and start-ups, fostering deep collaboration across government, industry, academia, research, investment, and users, while gathering innovative pioneers and ideas from home and abroad to propel Hong Kong's development as an international I&T hub." As Hong Kong's digital tech hub, AI accelerator and key incubator, Cyberport leverages the Cyberport Investors Network (CIN) to attract influential investment units from around the world to connect with high-potential Cyberport enterprises to accelerate their development. Since its inception in 2017, the total investments facilitated by CIN have reached over HK$4.258 billion, a year-on-year increase of over HK$1.66 billion, representing a threefold growth. CIN has facilitated a cumulative total of 109 projects, up by 13 from last year. CIN's investment units have also grown by over 20, now exceeding 220, with 15% from the Greater Bay Area and 14% from the Asia-Pacific region, successfully aggregating global venture capital. Following the success of the establishment of "Web3.0 Investment Circle" last year, which successfully brought together more than 40 investors, Cyberport has launched the "AI Investment Circle" this year to match investors with high-potential and high-growth AI start-ups, further strengthening the AI ecosystem. Another key financing channel, Cyberport Macro Fund (CMF), continues to invest in high-potential start-ups while enhancing their fundraising capabilities. As of October 2025, CMF has invested in 29 start-up projects, with the total investment, including co-investments, exceeding HK$1.989 billion, with a co-investment ratio of 1:9.3 — meaning every HK$1 invested by Cyberport attracts an additional HK$9.3 in co-investment. This demonstrates Cyberport's sustained ability to attract capital in a challenging environment. Driving Innovation Financing and Supporting Enterprise Growth Cyberport companies have recently achieved remarkable success in the venture capital market. Among them, virtual insurer Bowtie Life Insurance and DigiFT, a licensed Hong Kong digital asset firm headquartered in Singapore, have successfully secured financing exceeding US$10 million and attracted significant market attention. Bowtie successfully completed its Series C funding round of a US$70 million in July 2025, which was led by Sun Life Hong Kong Limited. Meanwhile, DigiFT, which earlier received approval from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for Type 1 and Type 4 licenses, supporting its regulated activities in the tokenised securities space. Fred Ngan, Co-Founder of Bowtie Life Insurance, Cyberport Incubation Programme Alumnus, and a leading virtual insurer in Hong Kong, shared their success story and said, "Cyberport's role as an international springboard helps start-ups accelerate their business growth. The CIN platform has connected us with local large enterprises, government bodies, global investors, leading tech corporations, and international professional services providers, improving our capital strength base. Bowtie successfully completed a US$70 million Series C funding round in mid-2025, marking it the largest funding round for digital health insurers in Asia with a direct-to-consumer model. This not only reflects our confidence and that of our investors in Hong Kong's healthtech and virtual insurance market, but also demonstrates that, in Hong Kong as an international financial centre, start-ups with strong technological capabilities and clear profitability models can attract diverse capital and become the next success story." Kevin Loo, CEO of DigiFT Hong Kong, Cyberport Incubatee DigiFT, a licensed digital asset firm headquartered in Singapore and received approval from the regulatory authorities in Singapore and Hong Kong, said, "Cyberport serves as a 'super-connector' and 'super value-adder,' actively driving the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and supporting high-potential start-ups in expanding into local and international markets. We are thrilled to be selected for the 'Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme' and to collaborate with UBS and Chainlink on the 'open architecture for RWA processes automation' pilot project in Hong Kong. Having recently obtained SFC Type 1 and 4 licences in Hong Kong, DigiFT is among the few financial institutions leveraging smart contract-driven on-chain infrastructure with such regulatory approval, underscoring the growing maturity of Hong Kong's digital asset market and RWA tokenisation. As a Cyberport incubatee, we are encouraged by the support from Cyberport and the HKSAR Government for the development of digital assets and blockchain technology, as well as the tangible assistance provided in expanding into global markets, fostering collaboration and promoting innovative RWA applications."
