多年來,加密經濟如同數字版的“狂野西部”:波動劇烈、投機性強,且往往與現實世界脫節。如今,亞洲正引領一場變革——構建一個不僅交易代幣,還能將道路、太陽能發電廠以及金融工具代幣化的區塊鏈生態系統。這是一場從“輪盤賭”到“監管軌道”、從投機到基礎架構的轉變。
區塊鏈最初的應用完全囿于虛擬范疇:加密貨幣和非同質化代幣(NFT)所代表的數字資產在現實世界里并無對應之物。不過,下一代金融創新者正試圖推動區塊鏈在“現實世界”中發揮作用,通過將藝術品、房地產等現實世界資產代幣化來實現——若兩家總部位于亞洲的小型金融初創公司能夠得償所愿,清潔能源也將被納入其中。
若預測無誤,區塊鏈上的現實世界資產將蘊含著巨大的商機:渣打銀行(Standard Chartered)預估,未來十年這一市場規模或將高達30.1萬億美元。
總部位于泰國的機構加密貨幣服務提供商Amber Premium,以及專注于可再生能源的代幣化基礎設施公司Evolve,以全球標準衡量,它們的規模可謂微小:Amber的市值約為6億美元,而Evolve管理的資產規模也相對較小。
與幣安(Binance)、Coinbase等加密貨幣領域的巨頭不同,Amber和Evolve聚焦于細分領域,專注于將現實世界基礎設施代幣化,這無疑是亞洲重塑數字金融領域的范例。
Amber與Evolve的共同之處在于代幣——它們致力于將現實世界資產轉化為區塊鏈上的數字代幣。從原則上講,這為機構投資者提供了頗具吸引力的替代傳統投資結構的方案。投資者無需通過層層金融中介機構,而是通過區塊鏈直接擁有可審計的所有權。用戶隨后可按照自己的意愿分割和交易這些代幣,并設置智能合約來實現收益的自動分配。
這些代幣代表有形實物或金融資產——太陽能電池板、政府債券、電動汽車車隊——為加密市場帶來真實收益、更低波動性以及法律層面的透明度。Amber Premium允許客戶持有代幣化清潔能源債務、貨幣市場穩定幣等資產,所有資產均可存放在單一數字錢包中。與此同時,Evolve的代幣與太陽能發電廠和電池網絡掛鉤,實現了工業基礎設施與數字金融的無縫銜接。
Amber Premium由前摩根士丹利交易員霍偉恩(Wayne Huo)擔任首席執行官,近期該公司與愛點擊(iClick)完成合并,成功在納斯達克上市,成為一家受全面監管的機構加密貨幣運營商。Amber構建的監管框架橫跨多個司法管轄區:其新加坡子公司(前身為Sparrow Tech)在新加坡金融管理局(MAS)監管下運營,其他子公司則持有契合亞洲當地市場需求的牌照。該公司大力投資合規基礎設施,旨在滿足機構客戶和監管機構的期望。
Amber在納斯達克成功上市,使其成為美國上市機構通往“Web3”(即基于去中心化區塊鏈技術構建的互聯網)的門戶。霍偉恩出任首席執行官,為公司搭建起連接傳統金融的橋梁。
Amber Premium的客戶群體明顯以機構為主。截至2025年第一季度,該平臺約有928名活躍客戶(較上年同期的891名有所增加),管理的資產總額達12.75億美元。其客戶涵蓋亞洲、中東及北美地區的區域性銀行、家族辦公室、對沖基金和企業財務部門。Amber的客戶中,有相當大一部分來自大中華區,在中國大陸對加密貨幣態度不明朗的背景下,他們尋求投資數字資產以獲取相應敞口。
Amber仍是一家小型公司,2025年第一季度營收僅為1494萬美元,較上年同期的100萬美元有所增長。Amber Premium尚未實現盈利,而是將重心放在基礎設施建設、牌照申領及監管合規工作上,而非追逐短期收益。其營收狀況也深受加密貨幣市場波動的影響:2024年營收僅為3300萬美元,低于2021年(新冠疫情期間加密貨幣熱潮巔峰時期)的3.08億美元。自上市以來,其股價已下跌50%,從3月約12.80美元的峰值跌至如今的約6.50美元。分析師將此歸因于公眾認知度低、交易量疲軟,以及2022年FTX轟然崩盤后,市場對加密金融混合模式可行性的質疑。
Evolve,由加拿大加密貨幣交易所交易基金(ETF)及早期數字資產監管領域的先驅許友堅(Maverick Hui)創立,正將可再生能源基礎設施(如電池更換站、太陽能發電廠及電動汽車充電網絡)轉化為數字代幣,為投資者提供與資產規模相匹配的回報。該公司旗下多只ETF產品,包括與比特幣和索拉納幣相關的ETF,已獲得安大略省證券委員會(OSC)的批準。該公司與美國持牌托管機構,如Coinbase Custody Trust展開合作,以實現跨境資產托管。
Evolve的許友堅聚焦于能創造收益的清潔能源資產,尤其是通過電動滑板車及電池站制造商Mile Green推進相關業務布局。2025年初,Mile Green從總部位于新加坡的私募投資公司CMAG Funds獲得5000萬美元資金,用于在東南亞及非洲部分地區拓展電池更換和電動汽車充電基礎設施。
[《財富》雜志母公司持有CMAG Funds少數股權。《財富》雜志的所有者謝展(Chatchaval Jiaravanon)還投資了Amber、Mile Green和Evolve,近期參與了Amber2550萬美元的私募融資。]
Mile Green是Evolve在基礎設施領域的合作伙伴:Mile Green開發清潔能源資產,而Evolve則將其轉化為投資級數字代幣。投資者如今能夠通過這些代幣,而非公司文件,來追蹤資產表現。
亞洲引領加密貨幣浪潮
得益于更為明晰的監管框架、創新沙盒以及渴望探索的初創企業,亞洲在代幣化金融領域已占據領先地位。即使是在中國大陸,盡管禁止大多數加密貨幣交易與挖礦活動,但仍通過國家支持的區塊鏈服務網絡(BSN)以及央行數字貨幣(數字人民幣,e-CNY)探索企業級區塊鏈應用。
香港與新加坡這兩大國際金融中心,堪稱亞洲對加密貨幣最為友好的司法管轄區。不過,兩地監管機構仍對加密貨幣持謹慎態度:代幣化產品遭遇嚴格限制,零售渠道管控嚴密,審批流程難以預判。其中一大關鍵制約因素在于代幣化資產在錢包間轉移的難度較大——錢包到錢包的轉賬往往受限或需復雜審批流程,這限制了其更為廣泛的應用。
美國政策風向的轉變也為亞洲加密貨幣平臺帶來利好。顯而易見的是,特朗普政府第二任期采取了對加密貨幣更為友好的立場:1月,美國總統唐納德·特朗普簽署行政令,推動負責任的區塊鏈發展;暫停對Coinbase、幣安等加密貨幣交易所的執法行動;美國證券交易委員會(SEC)隨后成立“加密貨幣2.0”工作組,旨在厘清加密貨幣相關規則,一改此前拜登政府對此持有的懷疑態度。
3月,白宮宣布設立戰略比特幣儲備(SBR)和美國數字資產儲備,將比特幣、以太坊、索拉納幣、瑞波幣和卡爾達諾列為國家數字資產。8月,新出臺的規定允許401(k)退休計劃投資加密貨幣、私募股權和房地產,從而釋放了數萬億美元的潛在機構資金。
特朗普政府還支持《指導與建立美國穩定幣國家創新法案》(“GENIUS法案”,GENIUS Act),該法案明確了穩定幣相關規則。這些舉措共同為加密貨幣行業搭建起其期盼已久的發展基石——更友好的生態環境與更穩定的法律框架。
這些轉變為Amber和Evolve帶來利好。作為一家在納斯達克上市的公司,Amber獲得了監管層面的合法性背書,能更順暢地進入美國市場。Evolve的收益型代幣化基礎設施或將很快吸引尋求新型資產的養老基金及受托投資者。
隨著美國政策立場趨于寬松、亞洲在數字金融領域加大投入,Amber Premium和Evolve等企業正悄然搭建起區塊鏈下一階段應用所需的金融基礎設施,并將現實世界引入區塊鏈。
前路依然漫長:流動性依然稀薄,估值仍處于低位,該行業仍易受全球監管政策波動影響。此外還有所有權問題亟待解決:如何確保區塊鏈上的數字代幣能賦予持有者對相關現實世界資產清晰明確且可執行的所有權主張?
代幣化金融或許仍處于早期階段,但基礎設施正日益成熟。亞洲雖并非區塊鏈的誕生地,但或許會成為區塊鏈真正落地的地方。(財富中文網)

For years, the crypto economy was a digital Wild West: volatile, speculative, and often untethered from the real world. Now, Asia is leading a reinvention—building a blockchain ecosystem that doesn’t just trade coins, but tokenizes roads, solar farms, and financial instruments. It’s a shift from roulette wheels to regulated rails, from speculation to scaffolding.
The first uses of the blockchain were purely virtual: cryptocurrencies and NFTs that reflected digital assets with no real-world counterpart. Yet the next wave of financial innovators are trying to make blockchain work in the “real world” by tokenizing real-world assets like artwork, real estate—and, if two small Asia-based financial startups have their way, clean energy.
If predictions hold true, real-world assets on the blockchain can be a lucrative opportunity: Standard Chartered believes the market could be worth $30.1 trillion within the next decade.
Amber Premium, a Thailand-based institutional crypto services provider, and Evolve, a tokenized infrastructure company specializing in renewable energy, are tiny by global standards: Amber’s market capitalization hovers around $600 million, while Evolve manages a relatively small asset base.
Unlike crypto giants such as Binance or Coinbase, Amber and Evolve are niche, but their focus on tokenizing real-world infrastructure is an example of how Asia is transforming the realm of digital finance.
What connects both Amber and Evolve are tokens: the conversion of real-world assets into digital tokens onto a blockchain. In principle, this offers institutions a compelling alternative to legacy investment structures. Rather than have layers of financial intermediaries, investors have direct, auditable ownership through the blockchain. Users can then divide and trade these tokens however they wish, and set up smart contracts to automate yield distribution.
These tokens represent tangible physical or financial assets—solar arrays, government bonds, EV fleets—bringing real yield, lower volatility, and legal transparency to crypto markets. Amber Premium allows clients to hold tokenized clean energy debt, money-market stablecoins, and more—all within a single digital wallet. Meanwhile, Evolve’s tokens are linked to solar farms and battery networks, seamlessly bridging the gap between industrial infrastructure and digital finance.
Amber Premium, led by CEO Wayne Huo—a former Morgan Stanley trader—recently merged with iClick, securing a Nasdaq listing and establishing itself as a fully regulated institutional crypto player. Amber’s regulatory framework spans multiple jurisdictions: Its Singapore arm (formerly Sparrow Tech) operates under the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), while other subsidiaries hold licenses adapted to local Asian markets. The firm invests heavily in compliance infrastructure, aiming to meet the expectations of institutional clients and regulators alike.
Amber’s Nasdaq listing established the company as a U.S.-listed institutional gateway into “Web3”—shorthand for an internet built on decentralized blockchain technologies. Huo took over as CEO, giving the company a bridge to traditional finance.
Amber Premium’s clientele is distinctly institutional. As of Q1 2025, the platform counted roughly 928 active clients—an increase from 891 the previous year—which collectively held $1.275 billion in assets under management. These clients span regional banks, family offices, hedge funds, and corporate treasuries across Asia, the Middle East, and North America. A significant share of Amber’s clients are based in Greater China and are looking for exposure to digital assets amid uncertainty around mainland China’s treatment of cryptocurrency.
Amber is still a tiny company, generating just $14.94 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2025, up from $1 million a year prior. Amber Premium has yet to turn a profit, instead prioritizing infrastructure, licensing, and regulatory compliance over short-term earnings. And its revenue has tracked the ups and downs of the crypto market: It generated just $33 million in revenue in 2024, down from $308 million in 2021, the height of the COVID-era crypto boom. Shares have lost half their value since the listing, falling from a peak of around $12.80 in March to around $6.50 today. Analysts blame low awareness, thin trading volume, and skepticism about the viability of crypto-finance hybrids after FTX’s spectacular collapse in 2022.
Evolve, founded by Maverick Hui, a pioneer of Canadian crypto ETFs and early digital asset regulation, is turning renewable energy infrastructure like battery-swapping stations, solar farms, and EV-charging networks into digital tokens that deliver proportional returns to investors. Several of its ETF offerings, including those tied to Bitcoin and Solana, have received approval from the Ontario Securities Commission. The company partners with U.S.-licensed custodians like Coinbase Custody Trust for cross-border holdings.
Hui, from Evolve, is focusing on yield-generating clean-energy assets, particularly through e-scooter and battery station manufacturer Mile Green. In early 2025, Mile Green secured $50 million from CMAG Funds, a Singapore-based private investment firm, to expand battery-swapping and EV-charging infrastructure across Southeast Asia and parts of Africa.
(Fortune’s parent company holds a minority stake in CMAG Funds. Chatchaval Jiaravanon, Fortune’s owner, is also an investor in Amber, Mile Green, and Evolve. Chatchaval recently took part in a $25.5 million private placement in Amber.)
Mile Green is Evolve’s infrastructure partner: Mile Green develops the clean energy assets, which Evolve converts into investment-grade digital tokens. Investors can now track performance through these tokens rather than company filings.
Asia leads the way on crypto
Asia is taking the lead in tokenized finance, thanks to clearer regulatory frameworks, innovation sandboxes, and startups that are eager to experiment. Even mainland China, which bans most cryptocurrency trading and mining, is experimenting with enterprise blockchain through its state-backed Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN) and central bank digital currency, the e-CNY.
The financial hubs of Hong Kong and Singapore are among Asia’s most crypto-friendly jurisdictions. Yet regulators in both cities are still cautious about cryptocurrency. Tokenized products still face strict limitations, retail access is tightly controlled, and approval processes can be unpredictable. One major constraint is the difficulty of transferring tokenized assets between wallets. As a result, wallet-to-wallet transfers are often restricted or require complex approvals, limiting broader adoption.
Changing winds in Washington are also buoying Asia-based crypto platforms. The second Trump administration is taking a decidedly more pro-crypto stance. In January, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order promoting responsible blockchain growth. He paused enforcement actions against crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Binance, and Trump’s SEC then launched a “Crypto 2.0” task force to clarify rules on crypto, moving away from the preceding Biden administration’s more skeptical stance.
In March, the White House announced a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile, naming Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano as national digital assets. Then, in August, new rules opened 401(k) retirement plans to crypto, private equity, and real estate—unlocking trillions in potential institutional capital.
The administration also backed the GENIUS Act, which clarifies rules for stablecoins. Together, these moves are ushering in what the crypto industry hopes will be a more friendly, legally stable foundation for growth.
These shifts benefit both Amber and Evolve. Amber, as a Nasdaq-listed company, gains regulatory legitimacy and improved U.S. market access. Evolve’s yield-bearing, tokenized infrastructure may soon appeal to pension funds and fiduciary investors seeking new types of assets.
As the U.S. softens its stance and Asia doubles down on digital finance, companies like Amber Premium and Evolve are quietly building the financial plumbing for the next phase of blockchain adoption—and getting the real world on the blockchain.
There’s still a long way to go. Liquidity remains thin, valuation remains depressed, and the sector remains vulnerable to global regulatory swings. Then there’s the ownership question: How do you ensure a digital token on the blockchain grants a clear and enforceable claim on the real-world asset in question?
Tokenized finance may still be in its early innings—but the infrastructure is maturing. Asia didn’t invent blockchain. But it may be where blockchain becomes real.
