Background 

Digital technology is transforming finance through asset digitisation. Models like RWA tokenisation, stablecoins, and DeFi are reshaping finance and creating a multi-trillion-yuan market. The digital asset market grows over 30% annually, making asset lifecycle management a critical skill. Finance professionals urgently need practical knowledge to seize these opportunities.

Challenges include fragmented understanding of rules and technology, lack of practical methods, and unclear compliance risks. This creates a need for integrated theory-practice-resource solutions.

As a global hub, Hong Kong uses its “One Country, Two Systems” advantage and clear regulations like the Stablecoins Ordinance and Policy Statement 2.0 on the Development of Digital Assets to bridge Mainland and global markets. It offers a compliant ecosystem for innovation.

Therefore, this programme adopts a “Theory-Practice-Resources” approach. It leverages Hong Kong’s strengths to provide end-to-end digital asset management training, supporting professionals in their transition.

Course Highlights
  1. Policy and Market Insight  Gain a clear understanding of digital finance rules in Hong Kong and globally. Learn to benefit from cross-border policies and navigate the shift to digital for traditional banks and financial firms.
  2. Practical Business Skills  Learn how to manage Real-World Assets (RWA) through their full lifecycle—from proving ownership to valuation and trading. Understand how stablecoins and DeFi work together and how to spot risks.
  3. Compliance and Risk Management  Build a solid grasp of the laws for digital assets. Learn the essentials of staying compliant, both in Hong Kong and for international operations.
  4. Technology and Value    Focus on how blockchain is actually used in finance. Discover the real value digital assets can bring to financial services.
  5.  Building Network  Develop hands-on skills by visiting leading companies and working on practice projects. Connect with top academics, industry experts, and potential partners to build a strong professional network.
