Nansha Data Policy: A Bridgehead for the RWA Ecosystem

The RWA Ecosystem: Foundation of a New Financial Era

The global financial sector is currently undergoing a profound transformation driven by digital assets. At the core of this change, Real World Assets (RWA) are playing a vital role, closely linking the solid foundation of traditional finance with the infinite potential of Web3.0. As an international financial center, Hong Kong is striving to become the world's premier regulated digital asset hub through a series of forward-looking policies, including the Fintech Development Blueprint 2025, the Policy Statement on Responsible Application of Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Markets (October 28, 2024), and the crucial Policy Statement on the Development of Virtual Assets in Hong Kong 2.0 (June 26, 2025).

RWA tokenization is central to this vision, representing a massive market that converts real-world assets such as real estate, stocks, and bonds into tradable digital tokens. This not only brings stable, tangible value support to the digital world but also provides traditional assets with unprecedented liquidity. However, navigating this new territory must be based on rigorous governance, compliance, and auditing. In Hong Kong's ecosystem, trust is more valuable than any asset; it must be built and maintained by professional institutions to ensure the integrity of platform operators, thereby winning the confidence of regulators, investors, and users.

Nansha Data Policy: The Core Engine Empowering Cross-border RWA Flow

Nansha, as the strategic core of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, is pioneering cross-border data policies to pave the way for the healthy development of the RWA ecosystem.

• The Nansha Model for Cross-border Data Flow: Nansha leverages a "Negative List" system to significantly streamline the data export process. Apart from data explicitly prohibited on the list, all other data exports are exempt from approval, greatly enhancing the efficiency and convenience of data circulation. Nansha is also actively promoting the signing of "Memorandums of Cooperation on Cross-border Data Flow" and has published the Implementation Guidelines for the Standard Contract for Cross-border Flow of Personal Information in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Mainland, Hong Kong), which provides a clear path for cross-border data compliance.

  
  

• National-Level Platform Support: Nansha is deeply involved in the construction of the Next Generation Internet National Engineering Center Greater Bay Area Innovation Center. The "Greater Bay Area Data Protection and Cross-border Data Service Platform" developed and operated by this center offers one-stop services for enterprises. This platform integrates technical services, professional consultation, and information sharing, providing end-to-end solutions for personal information protection and cross-border data compliance. For instance, the platform has successfully assisted institutions such as The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and Macau University of Science and Technology in carrying out various cross-border data flow practices.

• First ESG Data Cross-border Transaction Implemented: On September 23, 2024, the nation's first ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data cross-border transaction was successfully completed in Guangzhou Nansha. This marks Nansha's leading position in promoting cross-border data transactions and provides a successful, replicable model for the future cross-border circulation of asset data (such as real estate data, supply chain data, etc.) involved in the RWA ecosystem.
