assets and financial innovation. I am also delighted to see this
international digital asset industry award ceremony taking place in
Hong Kong, a well-recognized
international financial center." Dr. Lam elaborated, "The tokenized
asset industry is a rising star in financial markets and plays
an increasingly important role in the global economy. I look
forward to seeing more innovative solutions from them and other
industry players that can lead to further applications for
tokenization and greater benefits to our economy. Again,
congratulations to all the winners."
Mr. Robert Lui, Hong Kong Digital

attract more young companies to join this industry."
Mr. Paul Howard, Co-Founder of
Digital Arts Fair Asia said, "It is a very interesting time to see
how securitization of tokens and assets is growing, and very
exciting to see Hong Kong being at
the forefront of it. During the recent Digital Arts Fair, we have
seen a huge interest in both tokenized assets and non-fungible
tokens. The combination of the two will create a new asset class
that will revolutionize the art industry." Mr. Howard further added
"TADS Awards can help develop the industry by building different
sectors, and allow industry players gain recognition in ways that
they are not able to independently."

on the growth of the TADS industry, Mr. Lee further commented, "It
is amazing to see the increase in global support across all areas
including business partnership, number of quality award
nominations, and participation of committees. I am delighted to see
the TADS Awards make an even larger impact in the industry, as the
TADS market has gained momentum globally this year."
