A Strategic Alliance to Prepare Hong Kong for Scalable Digital Asset Distribution
The Digital Asset Distribution Alliance (DADA) was launched as an industry-wide initiative led by Aegis Custody, designed to connect asset owners with licensed distributors (banks and Type 1 licensed brokers) in Hong Kong. DADA fosters a structured path from tokenization to compliant end-user distribution — laying the groundwork for sustainable growth in Hong Kong’s digital asset industry.
While DADA is powered by Aegis Custody’s infrastructure and ecosystem relationships, it directly supports DACC’s mission: to serve as the post-trade digital asset infrastructure for the financial institutions participating in this new market structure.
What DADA Enables
DADA builds the bridge between:
- Asset Owners (fund managers, real estate firms, issuers)
- Tokenization Platforms (such as those offered by DACC)
- Licensed Distributors (banks, brokers)
- End Users (institutional or retail investors)
The result is a distribution-ready framework where tokenized products like RWAs, crypto spot ETFs, or digital structured notes can be securely issued, routed through regulated intermediaries, and accessed by end users.
Why This Matters for Hong Kong
DADA was created to:
- Strengthen Hong Kong’s leadership in regulated digital finance
- Streamline collaboration between product issuers and distributors
- Provide a forum for knowledge-sharing around custody, tokenization, compliance, and clearing
- Create a distribution infrastructure that directly integrates with platforms like DACC
As DADA grows, it also feeds into the long-term development of DACC — offering a steady pipeline of tokenized products, licensed intermediaries, and standards-driven operations.
DACC + DADA: Infrastructure Meets Distribution
While DADA convenes the industry to align on distribution logic, regulatory frameworks, and shared infrastructure, DACC exists to turn those conversations into operational systems.
- DADA = the network
- DACC = the infrastructure
Together, they form the backbone of Hong Kong’s institutional digital asset market.
