On April 6th, the “Unlocking RWA: Insights into Opportunities, Challenges, and Collaboration in the Blockchain Era” roundtable forum was successfully concluded during the 2024 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival. Frank Zhang, the Executive Director of OKX Hong Kong, along with Devon Sin, General Manager of ZA Bank, Paolo Chen, Chief Strategy Officer of VDX, and Darshan Vaidya, Co-founder of Credora, and other industry veterans, engaged in in-depth discussions on the opportunities in the Real World Asset On-Chain (RWA) field, risk management strategies, and the integration of traditional finance and decentralized finance ecosystems.

As one of the Executive Directors of OKX Hong Kong, Frank is responsible for overseeing the business growth and operations of the leading virtual asset platform in Hong Kong. Additionally, he leads the business strategy of the exchange, aiming to provide industry-leading virtual asset services for the Hong Kong market while adhering to strict regulatory compliance standards under the Hong Kong Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) regime. With over ten years of experience in the traditional finance sector, Frank has worked in renowned financial institutions such as Daiwa Capital, CITIC CLSA Securities, and Liquidnet Asia, where he led the design and implementation of complex algorithmic trading strategies.

During the event, the guests explored the development opportunities in the Real World Asset On-Chain (RWA) field. Frank stated:

When discussing how RWA platforms should address risk factors, Frank believes that it is crucial for RWA platforms to implement various robust measures to mitigate risks, enhance investor confidence, and ensure the long-term stable development of the RWA track. The platform should possess a strong security infrastructure, smart contract auditing, self-regulation (such as Proof of Reserves), compliance with regulatory requirements, full transparency, appropriate investor communication, continuous monitoring and incident response, and insurance coverage.

Furthermore, Frank, while participating in the discussion on future application scenarios and innovative directions of RWA, expressed that the following three areas might attract innovators’ interest:

1. Standardizing the protocol for asset on-chain. Standardized protocols will enable seamless integration and interoperability among different RWA platforms, facilitating efficient transfer and exchange of cross-platform assets.

2. Strengthening security and privacy measures. With advancements in blockchain technology such as improved consensus mechanisms (e.g., proof of stake), privacy protection techniques (e.g., zero-knowledge proofs), and advanced cryptography, the security and privacy of RWA platforms will be enhanced. This will boost investor confidence, mitigate network security risks, and address regulatory issues related to data protection, promoting the adoption of RWA in the traditional financial ecosystem.

3. Applying AI and data analytics to RWA platforms. This will enable advanced data processing, risk assessment, and predictive modeling. AI-driven algorithms can analyze large amounts of data, identify patterns, and provide valuable insights for investment decisions, risk management, and asset valuation. This integration will enhance operational efficiency, improve investment strategies, and reshape traditional financial analysis.

Regarding the development of RWA-related innovations in the Hong Kong market, Frank analyzed:
