HTX Ventures Wins the 12th "HK 100" Award for Best Web3 Venture Capital Firm, Deeply Empowering Hong Kong's New Web3 Financial Ecosystem
HTX Ventures is the global investment arm of Huobi HTX, integrating investment, incubation, and research to identify the most outstanding and brilliant teams worldwide.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insights
On January 9, the 2025 Hong Kong Wealth Management Summit Forum and the 12th "HK Stock 100" Awards Ceremony were grandly held in Hong Kong. Alec, Head of HTX Ventures, and Molly, Ambassador of HTX DAO, were invited to attend and shared insights on the development trends of Hong Kong's wealth management industry, investment directions, and cross-industry collaboration within the RWA ecosystem.
Strategic Focus: Productive RWA, AI Finance, and Compliant Payments
Alec, Head of HTX Ventures, analyzed during the roundtable forum titled "New Benchmark for Global Asset Allocation: The Rise and Future Landscape of Hong Kong Wealth Management," that with a progressively clearer regulatory environment and increasing institutional capital inflow, key areas worth close attention in the convergence of global wealth management and Web3 include:
Productive RWA (Yield-generating Real-World Assets): Platforms innovating in tokenizing high-barrier assets such as private equity (PE), private credit, and green finance debt.
AI-Driven Automated Asset Management (AI-Agentic Finance): Middleware technology solutions that effectively integrate AI strategies within the SFC compliance framework.
Compliant Stablecoins and Payment Gateways: Centered on Hong Kong dollar-pegged stablecoins, expanding cross-border trade settlements and B2B payments to build foundational infrastructure for wealth management, enabling instant conversion of traditional fiat assets into on-chain configurable assets.

Evolving Investment Logic: Building Evergreen Foundations Amidst "Dynamic Change"
Beyond sector selection, HTX Ventures places greater emphasis on whether projects possess the ability to survive long-term and continuously evolve within a dynamically changing market environment. Alec further pointed out that HTX Ventures evaluates three core elements:
Architectural Flexibility: In an increasingly multipolar global regulatory landscape, modular and scalable technical architectures enable projects to rapidly adapt to regional compliance requirements without rebuilding their underlying systems.
Sustained Market Competitiveness and Demand Alignment: Beyond financial support, HTX Ventures leverages its global user data and industry insights to help projects establish efficient feedback loops and agile iteration mechanisms, ensuring they remain competitive in the fast-evolving Web3+AI space.
Ecosystem Connectivity and "Unique Asset" Integration: Leveraging the global fund network and ecosystem partnerships built by HTX Ventures, projects gain direct access to unique real-world asset sources worldwide, shortening the cycle from proof-of-concept to commercial monetization and establishing first-mover advantages in fierce competition.
Alec emphasized that HTX Ventures will continue focusing on early-stage projects combining cutting-edge technology with genuine application value, strengthening investments in blockchain infrastructure and accelerating large-scale adoption of Web3 applications.
The Role and Core Value of Blockchain in the RWA Ecosystem
Molly, Ambassador of HTX DAO, spoke at the roundtable forum themed "Exploring New Cross-Industry Empowerment Pathways to Drive High-Quality Development of the RWA Ecosystem." She noted that the key to achieving cross-sector synergy in RWA lies in role reconfiguration through resource complementarity. She highlighted that real economy industries should provide authentic, sustainable assets and cash flow foundations; financial institutions are responsible for structural design, risk management, and compliance delivery; while blockchain and Web3 infrastructure serve as the central hub for asset verification, transfer, and automated settlement.

Molly further emphasized that the core value of blockchain in cross-industry RWA collaboration does not lie merely in "tokenization," but in systematically restructuring cooperation processes and trust mechanisms. Through on-chain ownership verification and information transparency, all participants can verify asset status, profit distribution, and risk exposure in real time on a unified ledger, reducing information asymmetry. By leveraging smart contracts for automatic revenue sharing, clearing, and maturity redemption, operational friction and manual intervention are significantly reduced, shifting trust from personal endorsement to institutional and code-based enforcement—effectively lowering communication and trust costs between financial and real sectors.
HTX Ventures Wins “Annual Best Web3 Venture Capital Firm” at HK Stock 100 Awards
Notably, during this event, HTX Ventures was honored with the title of “Annual Best Web3 Venture Capital Firm,” recognizing its sustained deep engagement and outstanding investment performance within the global Web3 ecosystem.
In recent years, HTX Ventures has consistently increased its investment in Web3 infrastructure and innovative application sectors, forming a clear and稳健 investment philosophy around integrating blockchain technology with real-world business scenarios, exploring global compliance pathways, and pursuing long-term value creation—earning widespread industry recognition.
The "HK Stock 100" awards were launched in 2012, jointly initiated by Tencent and Caihua Society. By publishing rankings and presenting awards, the initiative aims to promote healthy growth in Hong Kong’s capital markets. Combining high-level forums with award ceremonies, it explores financial market dynamics and economic trends, growing in influence year after year and becoming one of Hong Kong's premier annual events in finance and economics.
As a deep participant in the global Web3 wave, HTX Ventures’ recognition is not only affirmation of past achievements but also encouragement for its future strategy of deepening presence in Hong Kong and connecting globally. As Hong Kong emerges as a global hub for institutionalized Web3 narratives, HTX Ventures and HTX DAO will continue playing the roles of “connectors” and “enablers,” dedicated to bringing unique assets, compliant technological frameworks, and forward-looking business models into the Hong Kong market, collectively promoting the healthy and prosperous development of Hong Kong’s capital markets.
