Ying Universe Bolsters Web3 Push as Hong Kong Cements Fintech Supremacy

Listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Ying Universe has committed HK$300 million to subscribe for shares in Quantum Wealth, signaling a strategic move to bolster the Web 3 ecosystem. The investment aligns with growing interest in blockchain technology and digital asset innovation within the region. Quantum Wealth, a participant in the evolving fintech landscape, is positioned to benefit from Ying Universe’s substantial capital injection, which is expected to accelerate its development of Web 3-related services and products.

Hong Kong has been increasingly recognized as a global fintech hub, particularly in blockchain, digital assets, and wealth management. The city's robust financial infrastructure, supported by a progressive regulatory framework and government initiatives, has fostered an environment conducive to fintech innovation. With over 1,000 fintech companies operating in the region, Hong Kong is home to eight digital banks, four virtual insurers, and 11 licensed virtual asset trading platforms. This ecosystem is further strengthened by a dedicated fintech team under InvestHK, which provides support for both Mainland and international fintech enterprises.

The investment by Ying Universe is not an isolated development. Hong Kong's government has been actively promoting fintech growth through various initiatives, including the Commercial Data Interchange (CDI) and the Green and Sustainable Fintech Proof-of-Concept Funding Support Scheme. These measures aim to enhance access to financing for small and medium-sized enterprises while supporting the development of sustainable financial technologies. The city’s strategic location, world-class infrastructure, and access to talent also contribute to its attractiveness as a fintech destination.

Cyberport, a government-backed innovation hub, has emerged as a focal point for blockchain and Web3 enterprises in Hong Kong. Over 280 companies in this sector are currently based there, with founders representing diverse international backgrounds. These enterprises are leveraging blockchain technology across a range of applications, including payment systems, cybersecurity, and digital entertainment. The presence of such a dynamic community is indicative of Hong Kong’s growing prominence in the global Web3 space.

Ying Universe’s investment in Quantum Wealth represents a broader trend of capital flow into Web3 and digital asset firms in Hong Kong. The recent launch of Asia's first comprehensive technical solution for “Hong Kong Stock Performance-Linked Token” by Finloop and FinChain further underscores the city’s commitment to advancing RWA (Real-World Asset) tokenization. This initiative, which integrates Web2 compliance with Web3 technology, has the potential to enhance liquidity and operational efficiency in asset management. As Hong Kong continues to refine its regulatory environment for virtual assets, including the implementation of the Stablecoins Ordinance in August 2025, the city is reinforcing its position as an international virtual asset hub.

The fintech sector in Hong Kong is supported by a range of advantages, including a simple and low tax regime, a strategic location in Asia, and a highly skilled talent pool. The city’s universities rank among the best globally, contributing to a steady supply of top-tier professionals in finance, technology, and innovation. Additionally, Hong Kong’s connectivity to global financial markets, through its role as a “super-connector,” enables seamless capital flows between Mainland China and international investors. These factors, combined with the government’s proactive approach to fintech development, are expected to drive further growth in the sector.
