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.
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.
