Hong Kong, China, July 7th, 2026, Chainwire
The Starcoin Foundation, together with Chaintimes, has concluded its RWA Forum in Hong Kong. The event, titled "Space IPO Revelations: RWA Trillion Evolution," brought together more than 15 institutions working across the real-world asset sector in Asia, including OSL Wealth Management, HashKey Capital, Bitget, AMBER Group, Bitfire, and Bit.
The forum drew over 1,000 concurrent attendees to its live sessions, with total exposure passing 10,000. More than 10 crypto and tech media outlets supported the event, among them Foresight News, Odaily, and ME Group.
Panel discussions moved past the usual institutional framing of tokenization. Speakers, including Layer 1 network architects and data analytics specialists, argued that RWAs should be treated as building blocks for new onchain applications rather than digital copies of legacy assets. The sessions focused on what that requires in practice: modular protocols, lower gas costs, and interoperability across chains.
A recurring point from the panels was that verifiable, tamper proof asset data does more than satisfy compliance requirements. Once a physical asset can be fractionalized and verified onchain, it becomes usable collateral and a source of programmable yield, which opens it up to DeFi applications and community built financial products.
"The Starcoin Foundation believes that the true value of RWAs lies in unlocking the next evolution of decentralized ecosystems and programmable liquidity," said Rico Zhang of the Starcoin Foundation. "This forum gave Web3 builders and digital asset innovators a place to work on the foundational rails together. Our broader mission is to engineer onchain financial frameworks that let developers anywhere deploy compliant, institutional grade solutions directly into the open web."
Following the forum, the Foundation plans to continue growing its developer ecosystem, building out its RWA launchpad products, and providing the infrastructure needed to move assets onchain at scale.
