Milestone moment! Hong Kong Hongrui Group teams up with Korea's BuySell Standards to build a new blue ocean for Asian RWA digital finance

Milestone moment! Hong Rui Group of Hong Kong teams up with Korea’s BuySell Standards to build a new blue ocean for Asian RWA digital finance. The China-Korea digital financial cooperation has achieved a historic breakthrough!

1. Background: Leaders’ Summit Charts a New Blueprint for Cooperation

Recently, during the Korean President’s visit to China, the 2026 China-Korea Economic and Trade Investment Cooperation Exchange was grandly held in Beijing. This high-level exchange was jointly organized by relevant government departments of both countries and attracted over 500 fintech leaders, regulatory representatives, and industry giants from China, Korea, and ASEAN to discuss the path of asset digitization in the Web3.0 era and to promote bilateral investment and trade cooperation to a new level.

Just as this important diplomatic achievement was realized, the China-Korea Digital Financial and Industry Innovation Summit, an important sub-forum of the exchange, was held simultaneously, providing a precise matchmaking platform for enterprises from both countries to deepen cooperation.

At this high-level summit, a major cooperation was officially launched, becoming the focus of the event!

2. Summit Highlights: MOU Signing Witnesses a Historic Moment

Hong Rui Group of Hong Kong and Korea’s BuySell Standards officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement (MOU).

Hong Rui Group’s Executive Chairman Diana Zhu and BuySell Standards’ Chief Operating Officer Branden SJ Park represented both sides in signing. When the two agreements were exchanged with a handshake, the scene erupted in applause—this is not only a powerful alliance between a top Hong Kong RWA asset management institution and Korea’s only full-licensing STO platform, but also the first time that China and Korea have achieved a “full industry chain” deep strategic binding in the field of real-world asset tokenization!

“This is not just simple business collaboration, but an ecosystem co-construction based on deep interoperability,” Diana Zhu said in her signing speech. “After multiple rounds of in-depth communication, both sides quickly aligned on strategic vision, compliance concepts, and industry layout, and decided to jointly explore this blue ocean market.”

3. Strength of Partners: Asia’s Top “Dual-Core Drive”

Korea’s BuySell Standards: Regulated and Certified “National Team” Player

This Seoul-based company is regarded as Korea’s “hidden champion” in the RWA field:

✅ Official Certification: Awarded the “Innovative Financial Services” official certification by Korea’s Financial Services Commission(FSC), the only Korean digital asset company covering the entire industry chain of STO/RWA (platform + infrastructure + market)

✅ Full-stack Capabilities:

• Platform Layer: Owns Korea’s first multi-asset fragmentation investment platform PIECE, supporting ships, IP, real estate, cultural content, art, and other asset classes

• Infrastructure Layer: Participated in setting regulatory standards for Korean STOs, completed multiple pre-legislation standardization projects, and its technical systems have passed all due diligence by financial institutions

• Market Layer: Korea’s only operator connecting both on-exchange and off-exchange markets, expected to rapidly dominate the market once legislation is fully enacted

✅ Capital Backing: Strategic investments from top financial institutions including KB Investment, Hana Ventures, BNK Securities, and others

✅ Global Layout: Its wholly owned Singapore subsidiary BSFX Pte. Ltd. has established a “Korea-Singapore-ASEAN” cross-border STO corridor, becoming a hub for its global expansion

Hong Rui Group of Hong Kong: Web3 + RWA Cross-Border Asset Management Leader

As the “Hong Kong force” in this cooperation, Hong Rui Group’s strength is equally impressive:

✅ Industry Depth: Deeply engaged in new energy, new cultural tourism, education, and other实体产业 for nearly 20 years, leading over a hundred billion-level industry mergers and acquisitions projects

✅ Full-Chain Service: Innovated a “traditional industry digitization + digital asset capitalization” closed-loop solution covering the entire process from “asset integration → compliant financing → RWA issuance → market value management → exit and value-added”

✅ Top Team: Core executives come from global giants like BlackRock, HSBC, Polygon Labs, OpenAI, with 10% holding PhDs, 60% with master’s degrees, and an average of over 15 years of cross-border practical experience

✅ Ecosystem Matrix: Owns a complete ecosystem including the Greater Bay Area RWA incubator, Web3 aggregator, and Crypto Cat Club, managing assets exceeding HKD 5 billion, serving over 100 global LPs and more than 500 enterprises

✅ Compliance Network: Holds multiple national financial licenses, connects with regulators such as Hong Kong SFC, Malaysia SC, Dubai VARA, and has established a triple security system of quantum encryption + multi-signature wallets + on-chain audits

4. Strategic Significance: Two-Way Empowerment to Unblock the “Ren Du Er Mai” of China-Korea RWA

This cooperation is not just simple business collaboration but a pioneering move for the “dual opening” of the China-Korea RWA market, with three strategic significances:

1. Korea’s “Overseas Expansion Accelerator”

The cooperation will prioritize serving Korean cultural tourism, cultural IP, and commodity enterprises by enabling RWA tokenization to achieve:

• Cross-border Capital: Leveraging Hong Rui Group’s status as an international financial center to connect with global capital

• Compliance Channels: Utilizing Hong Rui Group’s multi-regional licenses to quickly expand into Singapore, Europe, and America

• Ecosystem Empowerment: Providing comprehensive solutions from technology, traffic, to exchange matrix

“Korea has world-class IP and cultural tourism assets but lacks a global capitalization pathway. We will become their ‘digital ark’,” emphasized Diana Zhu.

2. Hong Kong Industry “Direct Access to Korea”

Hong Rui Group will introduce its high-quality assets in new energy, new cultural tourism, and other sectors into Korea:

• Local Compliance: Relying on BuySell Standards’ FSC certification to achieve compliant issuance in Korea

• Market Deepening: Using its PIECE platform and local institutional resources to reach Korean high-net-worth investors deeply

• Ecosystem Co-Construction: Jointly building a “Web3 RWA one-stop platform” to create a China-Korea industry digital finance hub

3. “Joint Standard Setters” for Asia RWA

Both sides will conduct in-depth cooperation in areas such as technical standards, compliance frameworks, and cross-border settlement, jointly formulating best practices for the Asian RWA industry. As BuySell Standards COO Branden said, “Korea’s rigorous regulatory system + Hong Kong’s open financial ecosystem will incubate an RWA ‘gold standard’ suitable for the Asian market.”

5. Future Outlook: Building the “China-Korea New Triangle” Digital Financial Ecosystem

According to the MOU, both parties will launch the first pilot projects in Q1 and plan a grand three-year blueprint:

Short-term—Advance the RWA issuance pilot for Korean cultural tourism IP, initiate securitization processes for new energy assets in Korea, and co-host industry summits to educate the market.

Mid-term—Build a China-Korea cross-border issuance platform to realize market connectivity, issue bilateral industry funds, and promote platform access to compliant exchanges.

Long-term—Create an Asia-wide multi-asset RWA issuance network, initiate regional alliances to include more markets, and explore innovative scenarios such as stablecoin payments.

“Let实体产业的血液通过数字金融的血管，在中韩两国间自由流动，最终滋养整个亚洲实体经济。”

Closing: The Beginning of a New Era

When Korea’s most rigorous regulatory framework meets Hong Kong’s most open innovative ecosystem, and实体产业的厚重资产碰撞Web3的轻盈代码, this collaboration is destined to be extraordinary.

This is not only a strategic handshake between enterprises but also a symbol of awakening of Asia’s digital financial sovereignty—no longer satisfied with following European and American standards, but aiming to establish an Asian RWA discourse system of its own.

The future is here. Hong Rui Group and BuySell Standards have set sail. Next stop, Singapore? ASEAN? Or the global market? Let’s wait and see!
