Connecting TradFi and Web3 to Convene Industry Pioneers Driving Market Transformation

HONG KONG, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Eddid Financial (the "Group") hosted the "Leading Business Awards 2026 & Financial Leaders Networking Luncheon" today at the Hong Kong Football Club. The event brought together over one hundred industry leaders and elites representing commercial banks, securities firms, asset management institutions, leading technology pioneers, and professional advisory firms, all gathering to witness the recognition of visionary enterprises driving market transformation.

Bridging TradFi and Web3 to Unlock New Dimensions of Cross-Sector Collaboration

With a core focus on connecting "Traditional Finance"("TradFi") with "Web3," the networking luncheon broke away from conventional awards formats to establish a premier hub for high-level resource pairing and commercial collaboration. Attendees engaged in extensive dialogue on cross-sector synergy between traditional and digital finance amidst an evolving macroeconomic landscape, driving robust connections across capital operations, business deployment, and regulatory alignment.

Dr. Jerry Tse, CEO of Eddid Financial, stated in his address: "Global finance is entering a period of profound transformation, where the regulatory rigor of TradFi and the innovative dynamism of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) complement each other. Through the 'Leading Business Awards 2026,' we aspire to bring together visionary pioneers across diverse fields to jointly forge a win-win future where financial technology and the real economy integrate seamlessly."

The luncheon venue was filled, with guests actively exchanging insights on real-world asset tokenization trends, the evolution of global regulatory frameworks, and cross-market investment opportunities.

Awards Ceremony Honours Industry Excellence Recognizing Nearly 60 Market Leaders

Serving as the centrepiece of the luncheon, the "Leading Business Awards 2026" ceremony commended outstanding institutions with forward-looking vision that actively drive market innovation. Encompassing 12 specialized areas—including tokenized Real-World Assets ("RWA"), FinTech, professional advisory services, and brand value— prestigious awards were presented. Each awardee demonstrated remarkable resilience and innovative drive in navigating complex, shifting market conditions. Through this gathering, the organizers seek to unite industry momentum and collaborate with market elites to foster the high-quality development of the financial ecosystem. As the awards were unveiled one after another, representatives from the winning institutions took the stage amidst enthusiastic applause to receive their accolades and take commemorative photos, capturing this milestone moment and bringing the celebration to its crescendo.

Multi-Dimensional Synergy Sets a New Model for High-Quality Industry Development

Eddid Financial firmly believes that a dual-track strategy uniting traditional and digital finance represents the definitive future of the industry. Alongside core pillars in investment banking, asset management, and wealth management, the Group has actively accelerated its digital asset initiatives in recent years—encompassing RWA and stablecoins—while cultivating an extensive collaborative network to propel the industry forward. The diverse roster of awardees at the "Leading Business Awards 2026," spanning both conventional and innovative sectors, exemplifies this strategic philosophy.

Across the three overarching pillars—"RWA and FinTech Innovation," "Integrated Financial & Professional Advisory Services," and "Excellence in Brand Value"—the awards commend pioneers in RWA, stablecoin infrastructure, and regulated virtual asset platforms for injecting vital liquidity into physical assets and the digital economy; applaud commercial banks, securities firms, and asset managers for their acute market acumen; and honor legal, accounting, strategic consulting, financial printing, and corporate communications partners for serving as indispensable pillars and guardians throughout corporate life cycles. By establishing a comprehensive, multi-tiered awards framework, the organizers aim to unite diverse industry segments across the financial ecosystem, establish benchmarks that harmonize innovation with compliance, and join hands with the industry toward a new milestone of development.
