**Stablecoin Market on the Verge of Explosion: Virtual Mind Accelerates Strategic Layout in Web3.0**

Web3.0, built on blockchain technology, has created a decentralized, user-driven, value-interconnected network environment with characteristics of immutability, high efficiency, transparency, openness, and permissionless access. If Web3.0 lays the foundation for a decentralized digital economic society, then stablecoins provide the necessary stable monetary system for it.

Stablecoins maintain currency stability by anchoring to fiat currencies (such as USD, HKD) or through algorithmic controls, with core applications in payment scenarios, offering significant advantages of high efficiency and low cost. Beyond widespread use in cross-border trade settlement, they are also applicable to currency substitution, corporate and personal payments, virtual asset trading, and other financial and physical investment sectors.

With the continuous development of Web3.0 and stablecoins, RWA (Real World Assets) has gradually emerged. RWA digitizes real-world assets (such as government bonds, real estate, gold, etc.) and maps them as on-chain tokens, achieving rapid settlement without intermediaries and high transparency, significantly improving asset trading efficiency.

Currently, multiple countries are successively introducing stablecoin regulatory frameworks, pushing the industry to stand at the dual "inflection point" of policy and market support. In June this year, the U.S. Senate passed the "Guidance and Establishment of U.S. Stablecoin National Innovation Act," becoming the country's first major cryptocurrency legislation. On August 1, 2025, Hong Kong's "Stablecoin Ordinance" officially took effect, establishing a licensing system for fiat stablecoin issuers, further promoting the parallel development of industry standardization and innovation.

It is understood that several well-known companies have actively deployed stablecoin businesses, such as Standard Chartered Bank partnering with Animoca Brands to establish a joint venture company focused on issuing and promoting compliant stablecoins; HSBC launching virtual asset-related services; China Merchants Bank's Hong Kong subsidiary Wing Lung Bank launching stablecoin reserve custody services; ZA Bank becoming the first digital bank to provide reserve banking services for stablecoin issuers and partnering with Circle Innovation Technology.

Virtual Mind has keenly captured industry opportunities, proactively advancing business transformation through strategic partnerships and investment acquisitions. The company has previously entered the Web3.0 sector rapidly through its investment in Signal Bridge Capital: Signal Bridge Capital, as an "AI + blockchain" technology enterprise, redefines transaction witnessing, accounting, payment, and financing processes through its FlexDeal platform's real-name wallet technology, providing next-generation infrastructure for decentralized business cooperation and fully integrating DeepSeek large model capabilities.

Virtual Mind, with its rich IP brand operation experience and forward-looking business layout, will form complementary advantages with Signal Bridge. Since the beginning of this year, the company has continued to deepen strategic cooperation with Signal Bridge Capital, accelerating the implementation of related business applications. Early this year, both parties signed a cooperation framework agreement to jointly advance the Wangfu Center Web3 brand promotion and RWA issuance project. In July, the company further acquired a 10% stake in Signal Bridge Capital, planning to leverage the FlexDeal platform to expand IP applications, optimize operations, and comprehensively accelerate business development.

Meanwhile, Virtual Mind actively explores more market opportunities. In July, it announced the establishment of a joint venture with XiZu Chain Technology, professionally undertaking Web3.0-mode sports IP new consumption operation business, further deepening its layout in the "Web3.0+" track.

XiZu Chain Technology, with blockchain technology as its core, focuses on Web3.0 sports IP services and has partnered with LaLiga to launch the world's first Web3.0-based sports IP open business platform—LALIGA CLUB. The platform adopts a decentralized model, integrating online and offline resources to build a fan-centric community ecosystem, showing significant potential in the sports IP new consumption sector.

It is worth mentioning that Virtual Mind's management team has extensive experience in capital operations. The company's Chairman Mr. Mei Weiyi has over 20 years of global market investment experience and has served as senior executive of multiple domestic and international large asset management companies and director of well-known listed companies. Previously, Virtual Mind has conducted multiple share issuances to introduce new investors, with each issuance accompanied by sustained stock price increases.

Public information shows that Virtual Mind's current main business covers two major sectors: apparel products and IP applications & products. The company has established solid strategic partnerships with multiple globally renowned gaming and pan-entertainment enterprises. The company's partners possess abundant high-quality intellectual property resources, leading entertainment and sports content, and user bases, which are expected to create synergistic effects with stablecoin business in the future, jointly exploring new growth points.

From current market dynamics and industry trends, stablecoins have broad development prospects, and Real World Assets (RWA) are expected to grow into a massive market worth hundreds of trillions. As the company continues to accelerate its strategic layout in stablecoin-related sectors, market expectations for high growth in this segment are likely to continue driving the company's stock price upward, deserving close attention from investors.
