    HKSTP continues to join hands with HKTDC to support Hong Kong tech enterprises to “go global” by jointly organising the Hong Kong Tech Pavilion to build bridges linking tech companies with the world. This expedites the industry’s progress in internationalisation to meet the growing demand for I&T globally. This will attract talents, facilitate forward-looking investments and explore opportunities globally, realising the mission of entrepreneurs to reach out to the world and further consolidate Hong Kong’s position as an international I&T hub.

  • Esperanza 证券为投资者打开亚太娱乐资产投资新机遇 – 香港证监会准许的代币化投资模式

    Esperanza 证券为投资者打开亚太娱乐资产投资新机遇 – 香港证监会准许的代币化投资模式

    香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年2月23日 – 记者今日从毅盛金融科技(证券)有限公司(下稱”Esperanza 证券“或”公司“)获悉,公司已于 2026 年 2月 13 日正式获得香港证券及期货事务监察委员会(”香港证监会“)准许,开展代币化投资项目。Esperanza 证券由此成为亚太率先以现场娱乐产业资产为核心,落地合规证券型代币的持牌机构,为数字资产市场引入具备实体经济基础的新型投资方向。

    Esperanza 证券为投资者打开亚太娱乐资产投资新机遇 – 香港证监会准许的代币化投资模式

    据了解,在此代币化投资模式下,Esperanza证券将通过其管理的投资基金发行投资代币(亦作证券型代币)。这一创新机制不仅使合资格投资者可以小份额参与,同时能于二级市场交易代币。

    随着全球数字资产持续演进、实体资产数字化(Real-World Assets, RWA)成为重要发展趋势的背景下,Esperanza 证券被视为亚太区领先的系统性聚焦娱乐产业投资代币化平台之一。在已获香港证监会准许的监管框架下,正式向市场推出两项具代表性的代币化娱乐投资项目,包括于 2026 年 3 月 6 至 7 日在香港体育馆举行的《黄凯芹 40 年来香港演唱会 2026》投资项目,以及一项于 2026 年 4 月 11 日在马来西亚举行的韩国男团演唱会投资项目。

    长期以来,娱乐产业投资长期存在 “高门槛、高壁垒、信息不对称” 等问题,普通投资者难以入局分享产业红利,而高净值投资者则面临标的单一、流动性不足等困扰。

    Esperanza证券相关业务负责人表示:”此次落地的代币化投资模式,在不改变娱乐项目原有营运模式的前提下,既为项目方拓展了新的融资路径,也为投资者提供了兼具合规属性与流动性优势的数字资产选择,高度契合当前投资者多元化的资产配置需求。”

    为推动资产型数字投资的实际落地,Esperanza 证券透过 espetopia.com 建立一个 24 小时全天候运作的在线投资平台,让合资格投资者不受地域与时区限制,随时参与以亚洲市场为核心、具备真实经济基础的代币化投资项目。

    透过该平台,国际合资格投资者可于其所处时区内,实时获取相关投资信息与文件,交易投资代币,并获得底层资产相关的权益和体验,有效降低跨境投资在时间与信息层面的门坎。此一模式不仅提升亚洲特色实体资产在全球市场的可见度,亦为涵盖文化、内容、体验型项目及其他具备实体经济活动支撑的资产类别,创造连接海外投资者的全新参与机会。

    作为香港证监会监管框架下的合规代币化投资平台,Esperanza 证券将风险控制置于首位。据介绍,平台所有代币化项目均需经过严格的资产审核与合规备案,以确保投资标的具备明确的实体资产边界与稳健的现金流。同时,平台建立了标准化的投资流程与信息披露机制,实现规范投资、投资者便利,让投资者在合规框架内放心布局亚太娱乐资产。

    业内人士认为,Esperanza证券娱乐产业代币化投资业务的正式落地,标志着亚太数字金融普惠时代正式开启。据透露,未来公司将在持续丰富娱乐产业代币化投资标的的基础上,逐步将这一模式延伸至更多实体资产领域,让更多合资格投资者通过合规渠道,轻松布局亚洲特色实体资产,实现资产的多元化配置与稳健增值。

  • Esperanza Securities Introduces the First SFC-permitted Tokenized Investment for Live Entertainment in Asia Pacific

    Esperanza Securities Introduces the First SFC-permitted Tokenized Investment for Live Entertainment in Asia Pacific

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 February 2026 – Esperanza Fintech (Securities) Limited (“Esperanza Securities“, or “Company“) announced today that, following the granting of the formal permission on its tokenized investment business by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (“SFC“) on 13 February 2026, the Company is introducing an innovative financing and community engagement model for the live entertainment industry.

    Esperanza Securities Introduces the First SFC-permitted Tokenized Investment for Live Entertainment in Asia Pacific

    The tokenized investment model enables Esperanza Securities to issue investment tokens (also known as security tokens) through an investment fund it manages, allowing eligible investors to participate with a significantly lower entry barrier and trade the tokens in secondary markets.

    Against the emerging tokenized real-world-asset (RWA) trend worldwide, Esperanza Securities is among the first platforms with a systematic focus on the live entertainment industry. Following the granting of the permission by the SFC, two upcoming tokenized entertainment investments will include the Chris Wong 40th Anniversary Concert which will take place in Hong Kong on 6 to 7 March 2026 and a Korean boy band concert which will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 11 April 2026.

    Innovation beyond technology: a focus on product structure

    Entertainment industry assets have long benefited from a clear business model and income structure, which include box office receipts, sponsorships and merchandise revenue. Through tokenization, Esperanza Securities offers a new path for asset owners such as concert organizers to access capital without altering their operational models, while enabling investors to directly participate in opportunities linked to real economic activities.

    The application of the tokenized investment model spans beyond the live entertainment industry. In fact, opportunities with clear business models and easily valuated underlying assets possess immense potential for tokenization. For instance, cultural and experiential projects with clear community monetization models and assets with stable and predictable cash flows, such as commercial properties, can all benefit from tokenization.

    Bridging global investors to Asian assets through a 24×7 platform

    Through the proprietary platform, espetopia.com (“Platform“), Esperanza Securities enables eligible investors to back real economy linked Asian projects, anytime and anywhere, without geographical limitations.

    Eligible investors from all over the world can access all investment-related information, trade investment tokens and redeem utilities and experiences associated with the underlying assets through the Platform. This infrastructure enhances the visibility of Asian opportunities in global markets and effectively pools global capital to fund real economic developments, across verticals from cultural intellectual properties to the broader experience economies.

    Looking ahead: charting a digital financing path for high-quality real assets

    Looking forward, Esperanza Securities will continue to advance its asset-backed tokenized investment model under a prudent and compliant framework. The Company aims to progressively build a sustainable digital investment ecosystem centered on real assets with clear economic foundations.

    As market acceptance of RWA digitization continues to grow, the Company sees promising potential for asset-backed tokenization to become an integral financing option alongside traditional public listings and private placements.
