The Hong Kong SAR government plans to announce the 2026/2027 fiscal budget on February 25th, with one of the key topics being virtual assets and investor protection.

From the stance of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association, Hong Kong has already laid the foundational framework for virtual asset regulation. Now is the time to move from policy formulation to practical implementation. They have clearly outlined three key directions: first, accelerate the approval process for RWA products and avoid delays in review; second, introduce international liquidity to diversify funding sources; third, streamline the RWA industry chain to facilitate smoother transfer of real assets on the chain.

What does this mean? Simply put, Hong Kong is seriously pushing virtual assets from the "laboratory stage" to the "commercialization stage." RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization) is not a vague concept—real estate, bonds, commodities can all be tokenized. This represents a tangible expansion for the entire Web3 ecosystem. If these policies are truly implemented, Hong Kong could become an important hub for RWA products in Asia.

It's time to speed up approval again. Hong Kong is determined to become an RWA hub. Will faster approval really change the game? Property bonds are now on the blockchain, and the bourgeoisie should be nervous too, haha. Sounds good, but I'm just worried it might be all talk on paper. Let's see by the end of February. Stay tuned, everyone. Will RWA really take off or is it just another pie in the sky? Why are we in such a hurry? International liquidity inflow is the key; otherwise, we're still confined to a small circle. Is Hong Kong truly serious this time, or is it just empty talk? Time will tell. The commercialization phase sounds comfortable, but actual implementation is the hard truth.

To be honest, if Hong Kong can really connect the RWA sector, that would be great. Real estate bonds going on-chain and flowing smoothly would allow Web3 to truly break out of its niche.

Finally, someone is moving RWA from talk to action with real money. Hong Kong's move is definitely serious this time. However, I have some complaints about the approval process; it will depend on how it is executed later. I'm a bit optimistic but not overly so, after all, policies on paper and actual implementation are two different things. If RWA can really take off, the on-chain real estate sector definitely has the most potential. Solving liquidity issues will be half the battle won. Let's see if there are any real moves in the budget proposal on the 25th. We've seen plenty of talk without action. RWA hub in Asia? The prerequisite is that policies can truly support it to the end; otherwise, it’s just talk. It seems Hong Kong is determined to seize the opportunity this time. Singapore should be feeling the pressure.

Oh no, Hong Kong is finally getting serious, moving from armchair strategizing to real action... RWA has long needed to be pushed forward. On-chain real estate sounds crazy but it’s definitely the future. But can the approval process be broken? Or will it be the usual slow and tedious routine? If international liquidity can really be brought in, the Asian hub position is guaranteed. By the way, what substantial progress can we expect on February 25?

Is this wave of RWA really going to be implemented? Hong Kong is finally not just talking the talk --- But can the approval process really be accelerated? Or is it just empty talk --- On-chain real estate sounds good, but can the liquidity of real assets be truly resolved --- Hong Kong and being a hub—feels like it's always said this way. Let's wait and see --- RWA indeed has potential, but I'm worried policies might be delayed again --- Introducing international liquidity? Let's see what Singapore and Dubai have to say --- Transforming labs into commercial ventures—I've heard this many times. Real progress only counts when it’s actually implemented --- Three directions are promising, but execution is key. Hong Kong still has some uncertainties in this regard --- Connecting the industrial chain sounds easy to say, but what about the conflicting interests of all parties? --- See you on February 25th for the verdict. No more bragging for now
