-- April in Hong Kong marked a pivotal moment for global Web3 compliance. On April 10, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) issued the first stablecoin licenses, with Standard Chartered-backed "Anchor" and HSBC leading 36 applicants. On April 19, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) allowed tokenized authorized investment products to trade on licensed virtual asset platforms. These policies accelerated the Web3 compliance ecosystem and brought Eddie Chong’s years of work in stablecoins and RWA to an inflection point.
Eddie Chong, Chairman of the SFI Ecosystem Foundation, sees this as his long-awaited "Hong Kong moment." The implementation of stablecoin licensing and RWA liquidity access not only represents a regulatory milestone but validates the SFI ecosystem he has cultivated, aimed at using stablecoins as the axis to drive the value flywheel of RWA and AI.
A long-termist who avoids hype, Eddie first engaged with Bitcoin in 2015 and founded X Infinity to develop a proprietary blockchain. During the 2019–2020 bear market, he positioned himself in the RWA track, predicting blockchain must carry real-world assets to sustain growth. Today, he oversees a $5 billion RWA portfolio with over 400 investments. In 2026, he co-founded SFI to address the core pain point of RWA adoption: users and liquidity.
SFI is more than stablecoins—it is a coordinated ecosystem. Its network integrates payment gateways, trading tools, consumption scenarios, and investment, forming a closed loop from assets to value appreciation. Key modules include:
- Solulu Pay: compliant crypto payment card + fiat on/off-ramp, bridging real users with crypto.
- Caviar: Web3 luxury e-commerce platform, enabling stablecoin payments and real-world RWA use.
- COPX DAO: AI quantitative trading and liquidity management.
- RWA Incubator: institutional-grade digital asset services.
- RWA Exchange: secondary market channels for RWA assets.
The “Iron Triangle”—SFI, COPX DAO, and Caviar—interlocks to turn the value flywheel, with stablecoins as the axis.
Hong Kong’s policy releases filled the longstanding gaps of compliant entry points and liquidity, providing SFI a fertile environment. At the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, SFI showcased its full-chain capabilities. Eddie highlighted that many RWA projects stagnate post-tokenization due to lack of users. SFI’s 200,000 active Solulu Club users address this cold-start issue, while consumption scenarios give RWA assets practical application.
SFI’s compliance footprint extends globally, with U.S. and Canadian MSB licenses and progressing UAE VARA and Hong Kong licenses. This matrix supports SFI’s operations and offers reusable infrastructure for other RWA projects, fulfilling its mission as the industry base.
Looking ahead, Eddie envisions deep RWA-AI integration. On-chain RWA locked value exceeds $25 billion as of early 2026, with AI agents evolving into independent participants. AI can execute hedging, arbitrage, and real-time dynamic pricing, solving “hard-to-appreciate holdings” and valuation challenges. Eddie summarizes: "Compliance is the base, stablecoins the axis, AI the engine, and RWA the fuel." Every strategic move, from blockchain founder to RWA investor, targets industry gaps, aiming to turn the entire value flywheel of RWA and AI.
