DL Holdings Solidifies Web3.0 with "3-Phase" Plan
Three-Phase Strategic Plan to Build a Comprehensive Digital Finance Ecosystem
DL Holdings' digital finance development strategy will be implemented in three phases:
In the first phase, DL will establish a licensed virtual asset over-the-counter (VA OTC) and prime brokerage business. This will focus on providing compliant virtual asset trading services for institutions and ultra-high-net-worth clients, creating stable trading and clearing channels, and establishing it as the core revenue engine for the group's digital finance operations.
In the second phase, the group plans to build an RWA tokenization and asset management platform. Leveraging its existing client resources and technological infrastructure — particularly its ultra-high-net-worth community and professional investor network — DL will tokenize real-world assets (RWA) to enhance liquidity and optimize asset management efficiency.
In the third phase, DL will construct a compliant cross-border digital asset fund ecosystem. The "International - Hong Kong" hybrid model will combine the advantages of open-market regulations with the needs of global investors. Leveraging top-tier quantitative trading teams and fund-of-funds (FoF) networks, the group aims to scale its assets under management (AUM) and lead the development of a globalized digital capital market.
Core Strengths Lay the Foundation for Growth
DL's ambitious plans are backed by years of solid groundwork. As a compliant financial institution holding full licenses from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (Types 1, 4, 6, and 9), Singapore's MAS, and the Cayman Islands, DL has a first-mover advantage in cross-border regulatory adaptation. Its inclusion in the "Stock Connect" program has not only attracted more capital but also increased investor awareness of DL. Currently, the group has established a three-tier user matrix: a core circle of over 60 ultra-high-net-worth family offices, more than 1,000 professional investors active on DL Securities' platform, and NeuralFin's social platform targeting millions of mass users. This "pyramid" structure supports a full spectrum of services, from high-end asset trading to inclusive finance.
Notably, DL boasts strong technological and resource reserves. NeuralFin, a subsidiary of DL, has secured a strategic investment from Qraft, a top Asian FinTech company backed by SoftBank. In the Web3.0 space, DL has partnered with ViaBTC, Asseto, and other leading institutions for RWA technology platforms. With operational networks spanning Hong Kong SAR, Silicon Valley, Singapore, and other key markets, DL is shaping a cross-border ecosystem bridging traditional asset management and digital finance.
Looking Ahead: Accelerating the Implementation of Digital Finance Strategies
The market's most pressing question—the timeline for execution—has also been addressed. DL revealed in its announcement that it will focus on three key tasks in the second half of the year:
1. Extending its existing Hong Kong SFC licenses to cover virtual assets, with approval expected by October 2025.
2. Applying for a virtual asset OTC license while preparing stablecoin use cases and pursuing stablecoin qualifications.
3. Closely monitoring the Hong Kong SFC's policies on security token offerings (STOs) and RWA issuance to adjust business strategies accordingly.
"RWA and stablecoins are not just technological innovations but a transformative shift toward financial inclusivity" said Andy Chen, Chairman of DL Holdings and NeuralFin. "DL doesn't ride trends; it pioneers them. We don't fear change; we lead it. Because true wealth belongs to those who can see the future."
From the tokenization of HK$500 million in DL Tower assets to the clear outline of its "three-Phase" strategy, DL is steadily navigating the Web3.0 wave with compliance as its anchor and technology as its oar. This confidence stems from its belief in Hong Kong's vision to become a global Web3.0 hub. By adhering to principles of compliance, security, and foresight, DL is driving the next generation of financial infrastructure, pioneering digital capital markets and RWA tokenization to build a unique digital financial ecosystem. Moving forward, DL will continue to balance innovation with compliance, accelerating growth through organic expansion and strategic acquisitions to create long-term value for shareholders and partners in the Web3.0 era.

Octa market outlook: navigating one of the most eventful weeks of the year
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 July 2025 - Forex traders are bracing for what could be one of the most pivotal trading weeks of the year. The calendar is packed with high-impact releases that could send shockwaves through the markets, potentially even temporarily halting trading altogether as global economies digest a barrage of critical data. From central bank decisions to blockbuster economic reports, this week is shaping up to be a rollercoaster for volatility, and traders need to be on high alert. Octa Broker is providing an in-depth overview of the week's key events and actionable insights to help traders navigate this high-stakes environment with confidence. A packed calendar: why this week stands out 'This is one of the busiest weeks I've seen in my career,' says Kar Yong, financial market analyst at Octa Broker. 'I've been in the markets for a long time, and I can genuinely say I've rarely witnessed such a major concentration of important events packed into a single week. Traders need to be exceptionally vigilant and prepared for rapid shifts.' Indeed, this will be a rather heavy week with a massive amount of event risk. It features the crucial U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report, decisions from three major G7 central banks, including the Federal Reserve (Fed), several key inflation reports, and, arguably the most volatility-inducing event in the Forex calendar, the Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) report. Adding to this potent mix, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will release its World Economic Outlook on Tuesday, offering a global economic snapshot, while the looming 1 August deadline for U.S. reciprocal tariffs adds a geopolitical wildcard. Furthermore, some of the world's biggest companies will be reporting their quarterly earnings, particularly Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Visa, Mastercard, Procter&Gamble, Hermes, HSBC, Exxon Mobil, and Chevron. While it's not unusual for some weeks to carry more weight than others, the upcoming slate of events is exceptional in both volume and significance and suggests a truly historic period for the financial markets. Here's a list of some of the major news releases to keep an eye on: As you can see, this is an extremely long list that features some heavyweights. In terms of the top scheduled events, we need to pick and choose what is going to carry the greatest influence. From a global macro perspective, the primary focus is still likely to remain firmly on the ongoing tariff developments. Kar Yong comments: 'Although the U.S. has recently inked new trade deals with several countries, notably the United Kingdom, Japan, and the Eurozone, the 1 August deadline still looms large for other nations. There remains considerable uncertainty surrounding potential trade resolutions with key economies such as Mexico, Canada, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, and Singapore, among others. Any headlines or official statements regarding these negotiations could trigger significant market reactions. ' This tariff tension could weigh heavily on currency pairs like USD/BRL, USD/CNY, and USD/CAD, as markets react to both policy announcements and speculative headlines. Traders should monitor news wires closely, as any breakthroughs—or breakdowns—in trade talks could trigger sharp moves. Beyond tariffs, the week's economic calendar is brimming with catalysts: U.S. GDP and Nonfarm Payrolls. The Q2 GDP report on Wednesday will provide a snapshot of U.S. economic health, while Friday's NFP report could sway expectations for Fed policy. Strong data could bolster the USD, while weaker prints might fuel rate-cut speculation. Central Bank Decisions. The Fed, BoC, and BoJ will announce their interest rate decisions, with markets expecting all three to hold steady. However, forward guidance will be critical, especially from the Fed, as traders parse comments on tariffs and inflation. Jerome Powell's press conference will be scrutinised for any shifts in monetary policy outlook, especially given the external pressures he is facing from the White House. Inflation Reports. Australia, Germany, and the Eurozone will release Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, which could influence expectations for monetary policy in those regions. The U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, will also be closely watched. Here it will be important to see if record-high inflation expectations (due to rising tariffs) are feeding into the actual CPI figures. China PMI. The NBS Manufacturing and Services PMI will offer insights into China's economic recovery, a key driver for commodity currencies like AUD and NZD. How to trade this week: risk management is key Weeks like these demand a disciplined approach to trading. Volatility can create opportunities, but it also heightens the risk of significant losses. Here's how Forex traders can navigate this historic week: Stick to what you know. Focus on currency pairs you're familiar with. Understanding their historical behaviour and key levels will help you make informed decisions amid the chaos. Set stop-losses religiously. Volatility spikes can lead to rapid price swings. Always use stop-loss orders to cap potential losses, and consider tightening them during major releases like NFP or central bank announcements. Limit exposure. Avoid over-leveraging your positions. With so many events, a single unexpected headline could trigger a cascade of stop-outs. Keep position sizes modest to weather potential storms. Stay informed, but don't chase noise. Follow reliable news sources and economic calendars, but avoid reacting impulsively to every headline. Use tools like Octa's trading platform, which boasts a proprietary feed of curated expert insights, to stay updated with real-time market data. Diversify risk. Consider hedging strategies or trading less correlated pairs to spread risk. For example, if you're trading USD pairs, balance exposure with a non-USD pair like EUR/GBP. The most important takeaway? Stay focused and avoid distractions. The flood of data and headlines can be overwhelming, but successful traders stick to their strategies, trade pairs they understand, and use stop-losses to protect their capital. Emotional decisions in a week like this can lead to costly mistakes. This week is shaping up to be a historic one for Forex markets. With a dense lineup of economic releases, central bank decisions, and the ongoing tariff saga, traders face both opportunity and risk. By staying disciplined, managing risk effectively, and keeping a close eye on key events, you can navigate this volatile week with confidence. ___ Disclaimer: This press release does not contain or constitute investment advice or recommendations and does not consider your investment objectives, financial situation, or needs.
