HONG KONG, Sept. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Eddid Financial (“the Group”) announced that its subsidiary, Eddid Securities and Futures, has received approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”) to further uplift its Type 1 regulated activity license (dealing in securities). This makes the Group one of the few institutions authorized to distribute tokenized securities, marking a significant step in expanding its tokenized real world assets (“RWA”) distribution business and offering broader digital financial services to clients.
Pioneering Digital Assets Distribution
Since its initial Type 1 license uplift in September 2023, the Group became one of the Hong Kong’s first brokerages to engage in digital asset trading. With this latest uplift, it is now authorized to distribute tokenized securities, broadening its product scope to include cryptocurrencies, traditional and digital securities. Eddid Financial aims to meet growing demand for digital assets within a compliant framework, attracting more institutional and high-net-worth clients to participate in the global RWA market.
Advancing RWA Projects and Supporting Asset Flows
The Group is actively advancing several RWA initiatives. These include a collaboration with Timeless and HashKey Chain to develop Hong Kong’s first silver RWA project, leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize silver assets and offer investors a low-cost, highly liquid precious metals investment option. Additionally, the Group has formed a strategic partnership with CAC Fintech to launch China’s first agricultural RWA project. This initiative tokenizes agricultural products, land use rights, and future agricultural income rights into on-chain digital certificates, enhancing transparency and liquidity of agricultural assets and enabling small-scale investments in large-scale agricultural assets.
These projects are designed to support stablecoin-based subscription and redemption, significantly improving capital efficiency and transaction flexibility, while reducing foreign exchange costs and settlement risks, planning to offer investors a more streamlined and efficient RWA distribution experience.
Building a Full Digital Assets Ecosystem
Eddid Financial remains committed to strict compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations, ensuring absolute security in securities trading. As one of the first brokerages licensed by the SFC to distribute tokenized securities, the Group leverages its extensive financial market experience and technological strengths, along with strategic partnerships with licensed virtual asset trading platforms, to provide clients with seamless distribution solutions that bridge traditional and digital assets.
Looking ahead, the Group will continue to deepen its presence in the digital asset market, actively promoting the development of RWAs, digital asset market making, stablecoin issuance support, and tokenized bonds. These diversified services aim to offer innovative solutions to global investors and industry stakeholders, driving the growth of Hong Kong’s digital asset market.
