Digital Asset Clearing Center Raises US$10 Million to Build Tokenized Financial Market Infrastructure from Hong Kong

HONG KONG, May 13, 2026 – Hong Kong-based Digital Asset Clearing Center (DACC.HK) has secured US$10 million in strategic funding as it looks to position itself at the centre of the rapidly evolving tokenized finance and digital settlement ecosystem, amid growing global interest in blockchain-enabled financial infrastructure and cross-border payment modernisation.

The funding round was led by strategic investors including Conflux, Transaction Technologies Limited (TTL) and Global InfoTech, alongside participation from other investors including Fosun International, Blockstone, Avior Capital, Fintech World, Satoshi Ventures and BridgeTower.

The company said the funding will support the development of what it describes as a next-generation financial market infrastructure focused on compliant clearing, settlement and record-keeping services for tokenized assets, with a broader ambition to bridge traditional capital markets and Web3-enabled financial systems.

The development comes at a time when financial institutions globally are increasingly exploring tokenized assets, stablecoins and blockchain-enabled settlement systems as alternatives to conventional cross-border payment infrastructure, which continues to face challenges around settlement delays, high transaction costs, fragmented systems and regulatory complexity.

According to the company, traditional banking rails still dominate the estimated US$214 trillion cross-border payments market. DACC.HK believes tokenized finance and blockchain-based settlement systems can significantly improve transaction efficiency and reduce operational friction across international financial flows.

“My vision is for Digital Asset Clearing Center to develop a compliant financial settlement and clearing infrastructure that can integrate digital and tokenized assets into mainstream capital markets,” said Serra Wei.

“Each of our strategic investors represent traditional fintech solutions and my approach is to integrate their financial infrastructure into Web3, delivering digital tokens into mainstream markets by building financial solutions for the next decade of digital settlement connecting Hong Kong to China and serving the world,” Wei added.

DACC.HK said its platform is designed to integrate with major payment and compliance infrastructure, including China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), blockchain networks and regulatory compliance frameworks, providing what it describes as end-to-end Clearing-as-a-Service capabilities for financial institutions.

The company is positioning itself as an open banking platform for regulated financial institutions, offering infrastructure that combines stablecoin payments, tokenized deposit rails, KYC and AML compliance, distributed ledger wallet integration and interoperability with both traditional banking systems and digital asset exchanges.

Industry observers view the announcement as another indication of Hong Kong’s growing ambition to establish itself as a regional hub for regulated digital assets and tokenized finance. Over the past two years, Hong Kong regulators have accelerated efforts to develop a structured digital asset ecosystem, including the rollout of virtual asset trading platform licensing frameworks and expanding regulatory clarity around tokenization initiatives.

The company also referenced the anticipated rollout of the Securities and Futures Commission’s virtual asset custody licensing regime, which it believes will further strengthen Hong Kong’s attractiveness as a base for institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure.

“We believe the future of finance and cross-border payments is being transformed by leveraging blockchain’s speed, security and efficiency to make payments in seconds rather than days,” said Larry Li.

“With our headquarters in Hong Kong, Digital Asset Clearing Center is positioned at the intersection of global finance and China’s gateway. Anticipating the upcoming SFC VA custody license in Hong Kong, we believe Hong Kong’s regulatory maturity, financial depth and international connectivity make it the ideal base for infrastructure designed to scale globally,” Li added.

The strategic investors involved in the funding round are also expected to provide operational and technical support to DACC.HK’s ecosystem development.

Conflux, one of China’s better-known public blockchain platforms, is providing tokenization infrastructure integrated into the DACC.HK platform, while TTL is supporting regulated banking and broker-dealer integration between traditional financial markets and digital assets. Global InfoTech contributes banking technology systems and connectivity to major payment infrastructure across China.

The announcement reflects broader global momentum around the tokenization of real-world assets and the modernisation of financial market infrastructure. Major financial institutions globally, including banks, exchanges and asset managers, have increasingly been exploring blockchain-enabled settlement systems, tokenized securities and programmable financial instruments.

Asia-Pacific markets, particularly Hong Kong and Singapore, are emerging as key centres for these developments due to their established financial ecosystems, cross-border connectivity and growing regulatory engagement with digital assets.

DACC.HK said its long-term roadmap includes expanding capabilities across custody, clearing, settlement, tokenization and regulatory-grade digital infrastructure as the tokenized economy continues to evolve.
