Hong Kong’s JunTong Treasures partners with UAE’s Aqua Fund and lists on the Minax platform to advance art asset digitization, establishing a global framework for compliant art RWA trading and cross-border circulation through their strategic “art+finance+tech” initiative.
October 24, 2025 – At the “Vision 2030: Global Digital Economy & Brand Excellence Summit” held in Dubai, Hong Kong’s JunTong Treasures and UAE-based Aqua Fund officially reached a strategic cooperation consensus. The two parties will engage in deep collaboration regarding the compliance, digitization, and global circulation system construction of art assets, jointly promoting the internationalization of the art Real World Asset (RWA) ecosystem.
This collaboration signifies the entry of high-value art collections into the global capital market through compliant channels, introducing a new developmental paradigm to the art finance sector. Leveraging Aqua Fund’s international financial resources, regulatory adaptation capabilities, and Middle Eastern capital network advantages, JunTong Treasures will undergo comprehensive upgrades in “international governance, standardized custody, and professional financial structure design,” providing a more robust institutional foundation and credit enhancement system for art RWAs.
Concurrently, JunTong Treasures has completed its launch and listing on the Minax Global Brand Value Circulation Platform. Utilizing Minax’s distributed technology infrastructure, asset ownership verification system, and cross-border circulation capabilities, art assets are now accessible to global holders in a transparent, traceable, and compliant manner, enabling broader participation in the co-creation of cultural wealth value.
At the summit, Hong Kong JunTong Treasures also presented the iconic modern Eastern artwork “Red Mountains Throughout” by Li Keran as a gesture of friendship to their Middle Eastern partners. This artistic dialogue conveyed profound cultural heritage, laying a solid foundation for bilateral cooperation and expressing a shared vision to promote cultural exchange between China and the Arab world.
Moving forward, Hong Kong JunTong Treasures will continue to drive the global presence of Eastern art, constructing an innovative model deeply integrating “Art + Finance + Technology.”
Representative from Hong Kong JunTong Treasures stated:
“We believe high-value art assets deserve broader circulation scenarios and value expression. Partnering with the UAE’s Aqua Fund and the Minax platform will inject new momentum into bringing Eastern art to the world.”
Representative from Aqua Fund commented:
“This collaboration focuses on three core principles: compliance first, verifiable assets, and controlled circulation. Aqua will work with JunTong to transform art assets into globally accessible products that are understandable, stable, and liquid.”
Minax Platform stated:
“Digitized value circulation anchored by real assets is a key trend in the digital economy era. We will collaborate with Hong Kong JunTong Treasures and the UAE’s Aqua Fund to explore a replicable standard framework for art RWAs, unlocking the value of cultural assets in the global market.”
The three parties will focus on the following future initiatives:
- Jointly establish art RWA asset standards and compliance pathways.
- Build a cross-border art financial service system.
- Facilitate secure and efficient value circulation for high-quality art collections.
- Develop a cultural asset ecosystem network targeting the Middle East and global markets.
This partnership marks a significant step for Chinese art assets onto the international stage and presents a fresh model for global cultural finance innovation.
