Hong Kong-based fintech innovator RD Technologies has closed its Series A2 financing round, pulling in approximately $40 million to accelerate its push into compliant stablecoin infrastructure and regulated digital finance. The round, completed in July 2025, follows the company’s A1 raise in September 2024 and further solidifies its position as a regional leader in tokenized finance.

The round drew participation from both returning and new investors, including ZA Global, China Harbour, Bright Venture, and Hivemind Capital, with additional backing from HSG, Eternal Digital, CMSC Partners, and Guotai Junan International Private Equity Fund.

“Investor confidence at this level signals a growing appetite for enterprise-grade, compliant digital currency infrastructure,” said a spokesperson for RD Technologies.

A Strategic Bet on Regulated Stablecoins

Founded in 2020, RD Technologies was one of the early players in Hong Kong to advocate for regulated stablecoin solutions—an area that’s fast becoming a regulatory priority in Asia’s key financial hubs. The company’s mission: build a bridge between traditional (Web2) financial systems and the decentralized (Web3) economy, with a heavy focus on compliance, security, and interoperability.

That mission just got a major boost.

As part of the Series A2 announcement, ZA Bank, one of Hong Kong’s most prominent digital banks, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with RD Technologies. The partnership will explore stablecoin use cases across financial services, with plans to collaborate on reserve asset custody and distribution infrastructure for RD’s forthcoming stablecoin—pending regulatory green lights.

“We see this partnership as a crucial step toward bringing stablecoin use into the regulated financial mainstream,” said RD Technologies in a statement.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just another Web3 funding announcement. It’s a signal that Hong Kong’s vision for regulated digital assets is crystallizing, and that key players—including regulators, banks, and fintechs—are aligning to build a compliant framework for tokenized currencies.

Hong Kong’s Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) has been working on a stablecoin regulatory regime, expected to be fully outlined in 2025. RD Technologies is positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider just as this framework takes shape—much like Circle or Paxos in the U.S., but with a distinct Asia-Pacific flavor.

Beyond the Hype: Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure

Unlike many crypto-native firms chasing speculative growth, RD Technologies is playing a long game. Its focus is squarely on institutional-grade infrastructure for digital currency transactions, asset tokenization, and cross-border payments. The firm also emphasizes interoperability with existing financial systems, which remains a major hurdle for enterprise adoption of blockchain technologies.

The A2 funding round gives RD Technologies the capital runway to:

• Finalize and launch a compliant Hong Kong-dollar stablecoin
• Deepen integration with local banks and financial institutions
• Build scalable custody, issuance, and distribution frameworks
• Engage with regulators to shape upcoming licensing requirements

The deal with ZA Bank suggests those plans are already in motion—and that RD Technologies could be among the first to deploy a regulated stablecoin within Hong Kong’s financial ecosystem.

What’s Next?

While major players in the U.S. and EU (like Circle’s USDC or Societe Generale’s EUR stablecoin) have captured headlines, Hong Kong has remained relatively quiet—until now. With regulatory clarity on the horizon and capital flowing toward infrastructure rather than speculation, RD Technologies may be leading Hong Kong’s next digital finance wave.

The company says it will continue working “hand-in-hand with regulators and industry partners” to ensure its stablecoin products meet emerging compliance standards while offering real-world utility to financial institutions and enterprises alike.
