The race for Web3's capital is on, and Hong Kong intends to win it. ๐ญ๐ฐ
Hosted #IOSG ร HK LegCo ยท Founder Tea #1 this week. Our founding partner @jocyiosg brought together 16 top Web3 founders at Cyberport with the Hon. Duncan Chiu, HK Legislator.
Across four tracks:
โ RWA @AssetoFinance,@DigiFTTech, Anchored, @StableStock
โ Public Markets @RedotPay, @MicrobitCapital, Boyaa Interactive, @SoSoValueCrypto
โ Infrastructure @alt_layer, @brevis_zk, @Conflux_Network, @Sign
โ DeFi @SynFuturesDefi, @dForcenet, Unified Labs
6 hours of unfiltered truth, centered on one question: "Why HK over Singapore?" The discussion covered HK's strengths (financial depth, legal system, location), where it still falls short (compliance costs, licensing, banking access), and concrete asks to government: tiered regulation, an innovation sandbox, lighter licensing, and a clear path for digital asset trusts (DAT).
Duncan set this as the first consultation for Hong Kong's first-ever 5-Year Web3 Plan (2027โ2032), reaching the Chief Executive's Office by end of June.
In his words:
"I hope to submit these recommendations and have them included in Hong Kong's first-ever 5-Year Plan โ shaping the city's Web3 direction for the next five years."
Today, we're excited to announce that Unified Labs is joining @Morpho as a Curator โ the first RWA-focused Curator from Asia. ๐ฆ
Tokenization without DeFi is only half the story.
RWA lending is the next massive opportunity in onchain finance. Trillions in real-world assets are moving onchain โ but most of them just sit there.
No lending markets, no composability, no capital efficiency.
The quick details:
- Unified Labs curates Vaults specialized in RWA lending โ tokenized treasuries, MMFs, credit assets, funds, equities, and precious metals as collateral for onchain borrowing markets.
- Asia has long lacked a Curator with localized expertise. Unified Labs is here to fill that gap.
- Unified Labs has already partnered with leading institutional players across Asia to bridge TradFi assets into DeFi lending markets.
More to come. Stay tuned.
