An interesting project development—Hong Kong Stock Exchange-listed China Carbon Neutral announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Global Carbon Asset Management has partnered with DigiFT, a licensed digital asset platform in Singapore, to officially launch compliant Carbon Coins. The initial issuance is substantial, using 500,000 tons of certified VCS carbon credits as the underlying asset, issuing 500 million Carbon Coins.

It sounds a bit complicated, but the core logic is the same as RWA—packaging real-world carbon credits into on-chain tokens, which can ensure compliance (backed by a licensed trading platform in Singapore) and improve trading liquidity. This is a new approach for the carbon market and also adds a practical application case for RWA exploration. It seems that in the future, more projects of this kind—"traditional assets on-chain"—will emerge.

RWA is really taking off. The carbon coin angle is quite clever, and a volume of 500,000 tons is no joke.

RWA another new play, carbon coins are quite interesting --- HKEX endorsement + Singapore licensing, this combination really has some compliance implications --- 50 million tons of carbon credits, really? How much money would it take to back that up --- Wait, is this truly an on-chain asset or just another scheme to cut the leeks --- Putting traditional assets on the chain is definitely the trend, but why does it seem like people always end up losing everything --- If carbon coins really have such high liquidity, those proceeds from carbon trading will be panicked --- NGL, the compliance level this time looks pretty good, but will the price be hammered down to the floor --- Another RWA concept, this way of talking is everywhere now --- Interestingly, carbon credits themselves are valuable, but will they appreciate or depreciate once on the chain

RWA is really about to take off this time, it feels like new玩法 emerge every week. The idea of on-chain carbon credits is quite practical, but it depends on whether trading volume can keep up later on, as there are too many air projects.

RWA is coming again, but this time using carbon credits as the underlying asset is still somewhat innovative. Improving liquidity is indeed a pain point.

RWA is really about to take off this time. On-chain compliance for carbon credits, backed by HKEX and a Singapore license—this combination punch still has some substance. Wait, 500 million carbon tokens for 500,000 tons—doesn't this issuance volume seem a bit aggressive? It depends on how the subsequent liquidity develops. The trend of traditional assets going on-chain is indeed unstoppable; I just worry it might become another new way for capital to harvest retail investors. Playing RWA with the concept of carbon neutrality stocks makes logical sense, but where is the actual trading demand? This is what RWA should look like—supported by real underlying assets, unlike those pure air coins. With compliance channels opened, there should be a large number of traditional assets wanting to migrate onto the chain next. Opportunities are coming. I haven't heard much about the DigiFT platform before. Is being licensed in Singapore enough, or is there still some concern?
