HONG KONG, Dec. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Web5 Ecosystem: Pioneering the New Era of Global Wealth Management" Summit, co-hosted by Fosun Wealth International Holdings Limited ("Fosun Wealth Holdings") and Finloop Finance Technology Holding Limited ("Finloop"), and supported by Taikang Asset Management (Hong Kong) Company Limited ("Taikang Asset (Hong Kong)"), was successfully held in Hong Kong. At the summit, Finloop officially unveiled the upgraded version of its one-stop RWA (Real World Assets) technology, issuance and distribution platform — FinRWA Platform 2.0 ("FRP 2.0"), aimed at fostering a more open, integrated, compliant, and innovative financial ecosystem.
Implementing the Web5 Strategy to Promote Integration and Compliance
The summit gathered more than 200 industry leaders from Web3 infrastructure, fintech, and digital asset sectors, engaging in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as asset tokenization, regulatory compliance, and ecosystem collaboration. Mr. Joseph H. L. CHAN, JP, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, delivered a video address for the event. Mr. Duncan Chiu, Member of the Legislative Council of the HKSAR (Technology and Innovation Constituency), and Ms. Georgina Chu, Chief Corporate Development Officer of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, attended and delivered speeches.
Mr. Cheng Kang, CEO of Fosun Wealth Holdings and Chairman of Finloop, stated in his opening remarks that in response to the HKSAR Government's "Policy Statement 2.0 on the Development of Digital Assets in Hong Kong" and the HKMA's "Fintech 2030" strategy (DART), Fosun Wealth Holdings and Finloop are actively driving digital transformation and sustainable development in the wealth management industry to build an open and collaborative Web5 ecosystem. As a global one-stop Web5 wealth management platform, Fosun Wealth Holdings possesses deep expertise in wealth management and digital asset services. Finloop, as a one-stop Web5 wealth-tech platform, has become the first platform in Hong Kong to support multi-currency tokenized fund distribution and has developed the technical solution for the city's first unit trust tokenized fund, achieving multiple industry breakthroughs in the RWA sector in Hong Kong and across Asia. "2026 will be a year of integration, breakthroughs, and ecosystem development. We look forward to witnessing more institutions and individuals bridging the digital divide and embracing the new paradigm of wealth management brought by Web5. Fosun Wealth Holdings and Finloop will continue to drive digital innovation by assisting traditional finance in accessing the emerging Web3 ecosystem, and partner with all sectors to propel the wealth management industry towards a more open, integrated, and compliant Web5 future."
FRP 2.0: Next-Generation Collaborative RWA Tokenization Platform
At the summit, Mr. Cai Hua, CEO of Finloop, introduced the upgraded FinRWA Platform 2.0 ("FRP 2.0"), the company's one-stop RWA technology, issuance, and distribution platform. Based on compliance, collaboration, and transparency, FRP 2.0 is committed to building a next-generation collaborative RWA tokenization platform that enables various institutions to achieve compliant issuance and reshape digital asset management processes. FRP 2.0 features a globalized, highly compatible distribution network. By integrating Web2's compliance frameworks with Web3's technological efficiency, it has connected licensed virtual asset exchanges in Hong Kong, traditional brokerages, and banking channels, supporting the distribution of multi-currency tokenized funds. Compared to the previous version, FRP 2.0 has achieved significant improvements in functionality, performance, and security.
The platform introduces Tokenization as a Service (TaaS), providing more transparent and compliant operational paths for the tokenization of financial assets, including public and private funds. Key highlights include:
- Cross-institutional collaboration: The platform supports issuers, custodians, token agents, and other institutions in jointly participating in lifecycle management of tokenization, achieving data interconnectivity.
- Granular permission system: Adhering to the principle of least privilege, administrators can select functional modules based on roles; the interface is designed with isolation features to prevent unauthorized operations.
- Flexible approval processes: Approval processes can be highly customized. All operations are fully traceable, supporting post-event audits and retrospection; the system automatically performs KYT (Know Your Transaction) compliance checks during business operations and provides real-time feedback to ensure business safety.
- Transparent asset management: Data is synchronized with the blockchain, allowing real-time viewing of token contracts, transaction hash, etc.; the platform supports historical price fluctuation analysis and dividend record, providing a reliable reference for asset valuation.
Mr. Cai Hua stated, "FRP 2.0 is dedicated to promoting ecosystem interconnectivity, breaking down data barriers between institutions, and helping build Hong Kong as a Web3.0 innovation hub, fostering a more open ecosystem for financial collaboration. We aim to leverage leading tokenization infrastructure to transform trillion-level real-world assets into on-chain digital opportunities."
In addition, Mr. Cai Hua introduced Finloop's cutting-edge breakthroughs in AI technology, covering key areas such as customer outreach, product due diligence, and investment research. For example, in the area of due diligence, Finloop's AI KYP Writer can generate financial due diligence and risk control reports with 99% accuracy in just one minute — tasks that initially took half a day — saving 80% in manpower costs and facilitating rapid product launches, driving continuous upgrades in wealth management models through technological innovation.
The summit also featured two panels, themed "Hong Kong's Web2 + Web3 Development Potential and Opportunities in 2026" and "Enabling Hong Kong's Web3.0 Development Through Compliant Web2 + Web3 Integration" respectively. Representatives from Bybit, Solana Foundation, FOMO Pay, Conflux, JunHe LLP, OSL, Taikang Asset (Hong Kong), and Matrixport joined to share insights on Web5 ecosystem innovation.

- "MAG Arena" showcases Asia's Largest Airline Pavilion at MATTA Fair 2026, featuring the region's premier sports partnership activation by an airline

SINGAPORE, April 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia Airlines is significantly expanding its East Asia footprint with the return of direct flights to Fukuoka, Japan, and the launch of new services to Shenzhen and Changsha, China. Commencing between July and September 2026, these additions bring the airline's China network to nine key gateways and reinforce its commitment to providing greater travel flexibility across the region.
As part of this expansion, the airline will introduce new services between Kuala Lumpur and Shenzhen (SZX) and Changsha (CSX) in China, alongside the resumption of services to Fukuoka (FUK) in Japan, which the airline last operated in September 2006. With the launch of these destinations, Malaysia Airlines consolidates its presence across a total of nine strategic destinations in China, including Beijing (PKX), Shanghai (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN), Xiamen (XMN), Hong Kong (HKG), Taipei (TPE), and Chengdu Tianfu (TFU). Ticket sales for the new services commence today, supporting the growing travel demand and strengthening connectivity between Malaysia and these high-growth regional hubs.
Captain Nasaruddin A. Bakar, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, "This expansion reflects our strategic focus on scaling our presence in key growth markets across East Asia while cementing Kuala Lumpur's position as a key strategic gateway. Both Shenzhen and Changsha align perfectly with our network strategy, driven by robust demand across both business and leisure segments. The return to Fukuoka further enhances our network depth. As the only carrier operating direct flights on this route, we are proud to offer passengers a seamless non-stop experience that eliminates the need for transit. These developments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to optimising our network and delivering a more integrated travel experience for our customers."
Beyond the East Asia expansion, Malaysia Airlines is increasing flight frequencies across key routes namely Brisbane, Australia; Manila, Philippines and Colombo, Sri Lanka to meet rising demand while supporting growing tourism and trade links. In addition, the airline will operate ad-hoc Kuala Lumpur–London flights on 18 and 22 April 2026 to accommodate passengers affected by recent Middle Eastern carrier disruptions.
As the returning Official Airline Partner and Premier Sponsor of MATTA Fair 2026, MAG unveiled its most ambitious presence yet with the launch of the MAG Arena, recognised by both the Asia Records and ASEAN Records as Asia's Largest Airline Trade Pavilion at a consumer travel fair.
Spanning approximately 46,000 square feet, nearly three times the scale of its participation in September last year, the expanded pavilion transforms the MATTA Fair experience into a fully immersive destination showcasing curated experiences and next-generation travel technology that brings journeys to life before travellers even board the aircraft. Visitors will be able to explore destinations, discover travel innovations and experience the warmth of Malaysian Hospitality through interactive engagements designed to inspire their next journey.
In addition, the pavilion will host Asia's largest sports partnership activation by an airline, celebrating Malaysia Airlines' collaborations with global clubs like Manchester United and national sporting icons Datuk Azizulhasni Awang and others. The dedicated sports experience zone will allow football fans and travellers to engage with legends and their favourite sports personalities — reinforcing how sport and travel connect people across borders and generations.
Through the expansion of its network and increased flight frequencies, the airline continues to strengthen Kuala Lumpur's position as a key gateway to Asia and beyond, while supporting Malaysia's tourism ambitions under Visit Malaysia 2026 and advancing its journey towards becoming one of the world's Top 10 global airlines by 2030.
