Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission has recently approved two real-world asset (RWA) tokenization products by Derlin Holdings Group Limited. According to ChainCatcher, this marks the first regulatory approval for a real estate RWA project in Hong Kong.
The project involves the tokenization of a limited partnership fund and a private equity project fund for the Derlin Building in Central, Hong Kong. Derlin Securities will distribute the RWA tokens, while Derlin Digital Family Office collaborates with tokenization solutions provider Asseto for the issuance of fund equity tokens.
This development is seen as a significant milestone in digital financial innovation in Hong Kong. It is expected to enhance asset liquidity and trading efficiency, providing a regulatory framework for the integration of traditional commercial real estate with digital finance. Additionally, it strengthens Hong Kong's competitive position as a global center for RWAs.
