Hong Kong Stocks Get Digital Makeover as Ju.com Challenges Market Liquidity Crisis

Ju.com, formerly known as JuCoin, will host the Hong Kong Stock Liquidity Global Digital Summit on September 20 in Hong Kong, China. The event, themed “New Liquidity, New Ecosystem, New Hong Kong,” will bring together global fintech leaders, regulatory representatives, investment institutions, and RWA (Real World Assets) innovators to explore how digital technologies can reshape traditional financial market structures [1]. The summit reflects Ju.com’s commitment to addressing structural liquidity challenges in the Hong Kong stock market, which has experienced a decline of over 40% in daily trading volumes from historical peaks [1].

To address these issues, Ju.com has partnered with xBrokers, a global RWA broker, to introduce an innovative solution through its US-Hong Kong Stock Trading Zone. The platform employs a “1:1 Real Custody Holdings” model, ensuring that investors hold genuine stock assets registered under their names, providing a level of transparency rarely seen in digital asset markets [1]. This approach is designed to bridge the gap between digital finance and traditional markets, offering investors protections similar to those in conventional brokerage systems.

The summit will focus on key topics such as RWA asset digitization, Hong Kong stock liquidity mining, and compliance structure design. It will include keynote speeches, panel discussions, and technology demonstrations. Over 150 industry experts from 30+ countries and regions are expected to participate, including representatives from investment institutions, CEOs of Hong Kong-listed companies, and Web3 entrepreneurs [1]. The organizers aim to foster consensus on how to integrate digital technologies into traditional financial frameworks, with a goal of helping Hong Kong maintain its competitive edge in the Web3-era financial landscape [1].

Hong Kong’s forward-thinking regulatory environment is a significant factor in Ju.com’s decision to host the summit in the region. The implementation of the “Digital Asset Development Policy Statement 2.0” and the introduction of stablecoin regulations have created a clear compliance framework for innovative businesses like RWA [1]. These developments align with broader global trends in digital asset regulation, including the EU’s MiCA legislation and Japan’s revised Payment Services Act [2]. The regulatory clarity in Hong Kong supports the growth of RWA and provides long-term stability for investors and businesses.

xBrokers, a key partner in this initiative, has designed a three-tier architecture to enhance the liquidity and transparency of RWA. The bottom layer ensures asset authenticity through real stock anchoring, while the middle layer integrates global exchange data for ecosystem expansion. The top layer introduces incentive mechanisms, including staking mining and invitation rewards, to drive participation and value-sharing among users [2]. This multi-dimensional approach addresses critical challenges in traditional RWA projects, such as asset verification, technological standardization, and incentive alignment.

The global monetary policy environment also supports the potential success of this initiative. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, have begun easing monetary policy, creating a favorable backdrop for asset appreciation. In this environment, Hong Kong stocks are seen as undervalued relative to their U.S. and A-share counterparts, offering investors an attractive opportunity window [2]. The Chinese government’s continued support for Hong Kong’s role as a global financial hub, through mechanisms like the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, further strengthens the case for investing in the region.

The summit is expected to have far-reaching implications for the Hong Kong stock market. Improved liquidity, enhanced corporate financing options, and the introduction of new valuation standards are likely outcomes. As global digital investors become more engaged with Hong Kong stocks, the market’s structure may evolve to reflect more diverse and dynamic investment behaviors [2]. The summit also serves as a platform for demonstrating how technological innovation can support financial democratization, enabling more people to participate in the wealth creation process.
