HONG KONG — Seazen Group said it will explore real‑world asset tokenization and set up a Digital Assets Institute in Hong Kong. Reuters reported plan, calling it a first among major Chinese developers. Securities Times launched institute today and said trials may include NFT products linked to Wuyue Plaza malls by the end of 2025.
The company also outlined strategy to study tokenizing intellectual property and asset income. “RWA tokenization is becoming a key path for finance and tech to work together; Hong Kong is now a front‑line hub,” said Lyu Xiaoping, executive director and president, at the launch.
China’s property sector has faced a liquidity crunch since 2021. Seazen is seen as steadier than many peers. In June 2025, it sold $300 million in dollar notes, the first such deal by a private Chinese developer since 2023, giving the group a funding window as others struggled.
Tokenization turns income rights or other claims into digital tokens on a blockchain. It can lower costs, speed settlement, and allow smaller tickets. If pilots succeed, Seazen could open investor access to parts of its mall cash flows while keeping traditional legal terms. Any wider roll‑out will depend on approvals.
