ME Group CEO Jessica and DigiFT founder and group CEO Henry engaged in an in-depth conversation here. This dialogue not only reviewed DigiFT's breakthrough journey over the past four years but also revealed the strategic blueprint for the RWA track's leap from “0 to 1” to “10 to 100.”

Singapore First Flight: The World's First Licensed Decentralized Exchange for Real World Assets (RWA On-Chain Exchange) The DeFi Summer of 2020 swept the globe, and Henry, with over 20 years of traditional finance background, keenly captured the potential of Web3 to reshape financial infrastructure, founding DigiFT. It is worth mentioning that it is currently the only decentralized digital asset exchange (RWA On-Chain Exchange) operating in the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) fintech regulatory sandbox. Henry emphasized: “We are the world's first licensed decentralized exchange for real-world assets (RWA On-Chain Exchange), and currently the only one.” This license is not only an official endorsement of the “self-custody + smart contract-driven + micro-branch deployment” technology architecture, but also makes DigiFT a compliance bastion for institutional-level asset tokenization. From fixed income to equity: The robust expansion of the product matrix After four years of deep cultivation, DigiFT has completed multiple milestones of “0 to 1” and is currently accelerating the scaling replication from “1 to 2” and even “10 to 100”. The product line starts from the most easily accepted fixed income products—U.S. Treasuries and Money Market Funds (MMF)—and gradually expands to equity assets such as Hong Kong stocks and U.S. stocks. Henry revealed: “Last week we announced the tokenization of shares in Ocean Group Holdings Limited.” At the same time, collaborations with leading institutions such as UBS Asset Management, Invesco, DBS, and CMBI have also been gradually launched. He joked, “Just as Amazon initially only sold books and later expanded into diversified categories, the tokenization of RWA also follows an evolutionary path from simple to complex, from singular to diverse.” Full Stack Infrastructure: One-Stop Empowerment for Asset On-Chain DigiFT has built a full-stack modular infrastructure covering asset tokenization, distribution, trading, and secondary market applications, providing partners with end-to-end or point services. Henry stated, “The core we provide is a complete full-stack technology architecture, mainly including tokenization, distribution, trading, and application.” With the dual licenses of broker + exchange, the DigiFT platform is continuously deepening the breadth of asset categories and the depth of individual categories, while integrating advanced features such as liquidity solutions and smart routing, truly achieving that on-chain assets “run faster and transfer more flexibly.” Borderless technology, globalized clients It is said that blockchain is inherently “borderless”; therefore, DigiFT targets global asset issuers and investors, operating only within a compliant framework. Henry pointed out: “From the perspective of licensing, Hong Kong and Singapore, as global financial centers, along with the United States and Japan, are themselves the convergence points for global assets and capital, so we are targeting the world.” Currently, multiple companies listed on the Hong Kong and US stock exchanges are actively seeking cooperation for stock tokenization, and the demand from institutions for on-chain 7*24 hour real-time settlement and global liquidity is exploding. The historic migration from “funds going online” to “assets going on-chain” Henry's assessment of the RWA track is incisive: it is not only an incremental market but also a comprehensive transformation of existing finance. The core of Web3 is “value transfer”; tokens can represent native crypto assets, as well as encapsulate traditional fund shares, stock, or physical asset shares, bringing unprecedented combinability and settlement efficiency. He predicts: “The volume of RWA may only be a few hundred million now, but later everyone will use trillions to estimate it; this will have a conversion process.” Never, the real tipping point lies in “Money on-Chain.” Henry emphasized: “After everyone gets stablecoins, they will ask two questions: how to pay? how to invest? I can use stablecoins to invest.” Once funds are fully tokenized, whether it's stablecoins or central bank digital currencies, users will naturally force all assets onto the chain. He compares it to the wave of “Money going online” 25 years ago, today marking the beginning of the great era of “Assets on the chain.” Conclusion As an undisputed early leader and standard setter in the RWA track, Henry and DigiFT have spent four years proving that compliance and innovation are not opposing forces, and that the on-chain world can fully accommodate the stringent requirements of institutional-level finance. At the end of the interview, Jessica expressed her anticipation for DigiFT, under Henry's leadership, to continue setting new benchmarks for global asset tokenization and to drive the industry’s niche segments from “flourishing” to “inevitable.”
