Esperanza Fintech (Securities) Limited announced today that, following the granting of the formal permission on its tokenised investment business by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong on February 13, 2026, the company is introducing an innovative financing and community engagement model for the live entertainment industry.
The tokenised investment model enables Esperanza Securities to issue investment tokens (also known as security tokens) through an investment fund it manages, allowing eligible investors to participate with a significantly lower entry barrier and trade the tokens in secondary markets.
Amid the worldwide trend towards tokenised real-world assets (RWAs), Esperanza Securities is among the first platforms with a systematic focus on the live entertainment industry.
Following the SFC’s permission, two upcoming tokenised entertainment investments include the Chris Wong 40th Anniversary Concert, which will take place in Hong Kong from March 6 to 7, 2026, and a Korean boy band concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on April 11, 2026.
Entertainment industry assets have long benefited from a clear business model and income structure, including box office receipts, sponsorships, and merchandise revenue.
Through tokenisation, Esperanza Securities offers a new path for asset owners such as concert organisers to access capital without altering their operational models, while enabling investors to directly participate in opportunities linked to real economic activities.
The application of the tokenised investment model spans beyond the live entertainment industry. In fact, opportunities with clear business models and easily valuated underlying assets possess immense potential for tokenisation.
For instance, cultural and experiential projects with clear community monetisation models and assets with stable and predictable cash flows, such as commercial properties, can all benefit from tokenisation.
Through its proprietary platform, espetopia.com, Esperanza Securities enables eligible investors to back real-economy-linked Asian projects anytime, anywhere, without geographical limitations.
Eligible investors from all over the world can access all investment-related information, trade investment tokens, and redeem utilities and experiences associated with the underlying assets through the Platform.
This infrastructure enhances visibility of Asian opportunities in global markets and effectively pools global capital to fund real economic development across verticals, from cultural intellectual property to broader experience economies.
Esperanza Securities said it would continue advancing its asset-backed tokenised investment model within a prudent and compliant framework.
“The company aims to progressively build a sustainable digital investment ecosystem centred on real assets with clear economic foundations,” said Esperanza Securities in a statement.
As market acceptance of RWA digitisation continues to grow, the company “sees promising potential for asset-backed tokenisation to become an integral financing option alongside traditional public listings and private placements”.
