Xiao Feng's interpretation of Document No. 42 in Hong Kong: Mainland "filing" and Hong Kong "licensing," RWA compliance marks two dividing lines

February 12, 2026, Hong Kong Island, Crypto Finance Forum. When Dr. Xiao Feng, Chairman of HashKey Group, took the stage, the audience was filled with two forces from traditional finance and native crypto. He did not start with the grand narrative of digital civilization but instead presented a document that had been discussed for weeks both inside and outside the industry—the "Notice on Further Preventing and Disposing of Risks Related to Virtual Currencies and Other Virtual Assets" jointly issued by the People's Bank of China and eight other ministries at the beginning of 2026 (Yinfa [2026] No. 42, hereinafter referred to as "Document No. 42"). "Mainland registration, Hong Kong licensing." Xiao Feng summarized the two fates of RWA (Real World Assets, tokenization of real-world assets) cross-border flow in eight characters.

Digital Renminbi enters the "Deposit Currency Era": The RWA infrastructure opportunities behind Hunan's 56.7 billion yuan transactions

In early February 2026, Hunan Province's digital RMB pilot program delivered a remarkable milestone. According to a report by Hunan Daily on February 4, by the end of 2025, the total transaction amount of digital RMB in the province had exceeded 56.7 billion yuan, supporting over 600,000 merchants. The number of wallet accounts reached 25.38 million, and the monthly transaction activity ranked among the top in nationwide pilot regions. More importantly, the report explicitly stated that starting from January 1, 2026, the digital RMB system officially entered the "Digital Deposit Currency Era." This institutional leap marks a shift in the development focus of digital RMB from initial scene expansion and user cultivation to deeper financial functionality evolution and ecosystem construction. For the RWA Research Institute, which focuses on cutting-edge financial technology, this is not just a successful local pilot case but also an observation point for how China's legal digital currency is reshaping real-world assets.
