Animoca Brands will host a panel titled “From Wall Street to Onchain Vaults: The Convergence of TradFi & Web3” during Hong Kong Fintech Week. The session is scheduled for November 3 and will be held at Animoca’s Hong Kong office.
Panel participants
The discussion will feature Brian Chan representing Animoca Brands, Chetan Karkhanis of Franklin Templeton, and Chen Shanlong of XDC Network. Jingyi Sun is listed as the moderator, with event materials crediting Talos for moderation.
Focus on tokenized real-world assets
The panel will examine how tokenized representations of traditional assets—such as stocks, bonds or fund shares—can be recorded, transferred and settled on blockchain networks. Organizers note that the market for tokenized public equities has grown to roughly $1.4 billion over the past year.
Collaborations and initiatives
Animoca Brands and Franklin Templeton are working together on real-world asset tokenization, including the development of the NUVA vault marketplace. NUVA is described as a platform that connects institutional-grade assets with on‑chain infrastructure, enabling broader access for both institutional and retail investors.

Hong Kong Fintech Week 2026 runs from November 2 to 6 and is expected to attract more than 45,000 participants from over 120 economies. The program includes a Digital Assets and Web3 Forum and sessions on tokenization and stablecoins.
