A subsidiary of Fosun International this week marked a new milestone in bringing traditional financial instruments onto a blockchain infrastructure, which it touted as Asia’s first “comprehensive” technical solution for stock performance-linked tokens.
Fosun Wealth Holdings-backed start-up Finloop Finance Technology Holding collaborated with FinChain, a Web3 brand under Fosun Wealth, in creating the new solution for real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation in Hong Kong.
The first Hong Kong stock performance-linked token created with Finloop’s solution was for Fosun unit Sisram Medical, which was live and available to global customers, with a market value of US$328 million, according to Fosun Wealth.
RWA tokenisation is the process of creating digital representations, or tokens, of traditional assets – including stocks, real estate, art or bonds – on a blockchain. These tokens embody the ownership or value of the underlying asset.
Finloop’s solution would provide “a replicable industry paradigm for stock tokenisation in Hong Kong and across Asia”, according to the company, a so-called wealth technology platform incubated by Fosun.
That initiative came amid Hong Kong’s efforts to become a global digital asset hub, and reflected growing demand for RWA tokens in the market.
