Founded in 2018, ABCD’s core mission is to promote blockchain technology and its practical applications. We foster knowledge sharing, education, and research to establish industry standards—starting in Hong Kong and extending globally. By coordinating with practitioners, we aim to create value for the community through decentralized innovation.​​

​

Global trends signal a fundamental shift in conventional financial systems, driven by blockchain. From streamlined payment systems and enhanced disclosure mechanisms to tokenized assets like Real World Assets (RWAs), this technology promises efficiency and transparency. Events like our recent RWA Tokenization Audit & Compliance seminar underscore this momentum, uniting experts to explore compliance in Web3.

​

Yet blockchain faces challenges within the conventional financial system: building trust among users, investors, issuers, and service providers. In a free-market ecosystem, risks like volatility, evolving regulation, and security breaches erode confidence—but they also present opportunities for everyone.

Our solution lies in equilibrium—infusing practical elements from the existing financial world into blockchain governance. ABCD will coordinate with practitioners and stakeholders for robust audits, risk management, and hybrid frameworks that blend decentralization with proven compliance. By advocating for these standards, we ensure innovation thrives without compromise.

​

Together, let’s forge a trusted blockchain ecosystem. The future is built on decentralized technology and cooperation; let’s build it together.
