Eddid Financial brought together more than 100 executives from banks, securities firms, asset managers, technology companies and advisory businesses in Hong Kong for a luncheon focused on connecting traditional finance with Web3, using an awards program to spotlight firms working in tokenization, digital assets and financial infrastructure.
The “Leading Business Awards 2026 & Financial Leaders Networking Luncheon,” held Thursday at the Hong Kong Football Club, recognized nearly 60 organizations across 12 categories. Eddid Financial said the event centered on business matching and discussions around real-world asset tokenization, regulatory frameworks and opportunities across financial markets.
The gathering reflects a practical stage in Hong Kong’s digital-asset development: established financial and professional-services firms are increasingly appearing alongside blockchain infrastructure providers, virtual-asset platforms and tokenization specialists. Rather than focusing solely on cryptocurrency trading, the recipient list placed regulated services, accounting, law, corporate administration and communications in the same program as stablecoin and digital-asset businesses.
Tokenization and infrastructure take center stage
Four companies received the Excellence in RWA Innovation Award: EX.IO, Artwise Limited, Ant Digital Technologies and SageRock Capital Limited. Real-world asset, or RWA, tokenization generally refers to recording ownership rights or economic claims tied to conventional assets—such as funds, bonds, property or receivables—on a blockchain network.
The category’s prominence at the awards is consistent with financial institutions’ growing interest in tokenized structures that could make certain assets easier to transfer, divide into smaller units, or integrate into digital settlement systems. Those potential benefits depend heavily on the legal rights attached to the token, the custody arrangement and the underlying asset’s governance, making lawyers, accountants and regulated intermediaries central to any institutional rollout.
OSL Group Limited received the Excellence in Stablecoin Solutions and Digital Asset Infrastructure Award, while Web3hub Global Company Limited and The Payment Cards Group Limited, operating as Yedpay, received the Excellence in Digital Asset Award.
HashKey Group was named recipient of the Excellence in Virtual Asset Trading Platform Award. HP received the Excellence in Digital Infrastructure Award, a category that points to the less visible technology needed to support digital-finance activity, including enterprise systems, cybersecurity and computing capacity.
The awards themselves do not establish regulatory status or endorse individual products. Their broader value for participants lies in convening businesses that would need to work together if tokenized financial products move from pilot projects into widely used market infrastructure.
Professional services remain part of the digital-asset stack
A large share of recipients came from sectors that sit outside the most visible parts of the crypto market. Commerce & Finance Law Offices; SIT, FUNG, KWONG & SHUM, SOLICITORS; DeHeng Law Offices (Hong Kong) LLP; Jingtian & Gongcheng LLP; K&L Gates; and Stephenson Harwood received the Excellence in Professional Legal Award.
Rongcheng (Hong Kong) CPA Limited, Grant Thornton Hong Kong Limited and Moore (Hong Kong) received the Excellence in Professional Accounting Award. Wonderful Sky Financial Group and Strategic Financial Relations Limited received the Excellence in Communications Award.
The structure of the awards suggests that Eddid Financial sees digital finance as an ecosystem extending beyond issuers and trading venues. Tokenization projects require companies to address legal documentation, financial reporting, valuation, intellectual-property protections, client communications and corporate structuring before a blockchain component can be useful in a commercial setting.
The Excellence in Professional Advisory Award went to Beacon Consulting Services Co Limited, Regtitude Limited, QReg Advisory, Vincorn Consulting and Appraisal Limited, CBRE Advisory Hong Kong Limited, Global Insight Consultancy (Suzhou) Co. Ltd, and Propagate Intellectual Property Limited.
The Excellence in Corporate Services Award was presented to ASEAN Hong Kong Economic and Trade Centre, Orange Financial Printing Limited, ENI Foundation and REF Financial Press Limited.
Financial firms and brands receive recognition
The Excellence in Financial Services category included Power Partner, Skyward Holding Group, Silver Nile Global Investments Corporation, Antai Securities Limited, Hermitage Capital, Goldbridge Securities Limited, MingWan Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Private Equity Fund Management Co., Ltd, Excellent Tide Securities, Lego Asset Management Limited, Marex, WWC Professional Corporation Limited, Hang Seng Investment Management Limited, Fullgoal Asset Management (HK) Limited, Shenzhen Fortune and Information Union Co., Limited, 2GoTrade, KJ Tan & Co., and Power Partner.
APN Life Science, D&G Technology Holding Company Limited, perFACE, Shenzhen ORVIBO Technology Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen General Chamber of Commerce received the Excellence in Brand Value Award.
Eddid Financial said it operates from Hong Kong across fintech, internet finance, wealth management, asset management, investment banking and digital assets. The company said it holds Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission licenses covering regulated activities Types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9, and has Securities Exchange of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Futures Exchange participant status.
The group also said it holds a Hong Kong Insurance Broker Company license and a Trust or Company Service Provider license. Eddid said its U.S. unit, Eddid Securities USA Inc., is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and holds memberships including FINRA, NFA and SIPC. Its Singapore business holds a Capital Markets Services License issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, according to the company.
By placing banks, asset managers, legal firms and Web3 providers in one forum, the luncheon framed Hong Kong’s digital-finance opportunity around institutional coordination rather than token speculation. The companies recognized on stage represent many of the functions required to turn blockchain-based financial products into services that can operate within established commercial and compliance structures.
