According to Caixin, Zhao Yao, a special researcher at the Payment and Clearing Research Center of the Financial Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated that recent offshore digital asset platforms have launched on-chain trading products around Chinese technology companies such as Changxin Technology. This indicates that global digital financial platforms are creating trading exposure around high-quality Chinese technology assets, organizing price expectations, trading liquidity, and cross-border capital entry in advance. Although these products do not correspond to A-share equity, they are synthetic perpetual contracts or pre-market perpetual contracts settled in stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. However, if offshore platforms take the lead in forming a continuous trading market for technology assets, it may weaken the pricing dominance of domestic capital markets over technology assets.Zhao Yao suggested accelerating the construction of digital financial infrastructure for the renminbi, promoting the coordinated development of tokenized deposits by commercial banks, wholesale CBDC, and tokenization of technology assets, and exploring pilot projects for technology asset tokenization in Hong Kong to enhance the capital organization capability and international pricing power of the renminbi in global technology financial competition.
