Press Release – For Immediate Release
Esperanza Partners with One Cool Act, Expanding Hong Kong Cultural Assets into New Finance Using "The Grand Dragon" as a Theatre IP Case, Connecting Fan Participation with Entertainment Asset Tokenization, Potential Project Pipeline Estimated to Exceed HKD 2 Billion
May 12, 2026 - Esperanza Fintech (Securities) Limited ("Esperanza" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the tokenized fund under its management has co-organized the local Hong Kong theatre IP project "The Grand Dragon" under One Cool Act Limited ("One Cool Act"), and both parties have signed a cooperation arrangement in this regard. One Cool Act is a subsidiary of the One Cool Group. This collaboration marks Esperanza's further extension of its compliant fintech solutions into Hong Kong's theatre, cultural IP, and fan engagement scenarios, following its earlier entertainment performance tokenization project, continuously exploring the commercial value and application potential of cultural and entertainment assets under the new financial model.
One Cool Group is a representative comprehensive film and television entertainment enterprise in Hong Kong, covering businesses including films, television, production, post-production, artist management, and related entertainment industry services. This cooperation with One Cool Act not only reflects Esperanza's continued expansion of tokenization application scenarios for cultural and entertainment assets, but also demonstrates the greater development possibilities of high-quality local Hong Kong content and IP projects under the new financial model.
As a Hong Kong-based, Asia-Pacific-oriented fintech and real-world asset tokenization platform, Esperanza is committed to connecting high-quality assets, qualified investors, content holders, project operators, and fan communities within a compliant framework, establishing a more transparent, participatory, and scalable financial infrastructure for cultural and entertainment projects.
Leung Wai Chun, Group CEO and Chief Legal Officer of Esperanza, stated: "The 'The Grand Dragon' project is not just a theatre collaboration, but another important practical case for Esperanza in the financialization of Hong Kong's cultural and entertainment assets. Hong Kong has always been a key city where Asian culture, creativity, and finance converge. We hope to use Hong Kong as a starting point to combine local high-quality cultural and entertainment content with new fintech tools, promoting deeper value connections among content holders, project parties, fan communities, and qualified investors. In this project, Esperanza will also be the first to launch a tokenized experience application in Hong Kong, allowing supporters to participate in ticket redemption, exclusive merchandise, and cultural entertainment experiences through relevant tokenized arrangements, further extending the interactive relationship between stage works and the audience. Through compliant tokenization solutions, Esperanza will continue to assist more projects with cultural value and market potential in establishing a more flexible, transparent, and participatory new financial connection model."

Wong Wing Yan, Chief Financial Officer of One Cool Group, stated: "We are very pleased to embark on this collaboration with the Esperanza team. In today's diversified entertainment industry ecosystem, innovation in financial structures is crucial for driving the development of the creative industry. Through this cooperation, we look forward to leveraging professional fintech tools and solutions to open up more flexible commercial possibilities for Hong Kong's cultural and entertainment assets."
This cooperation also reflects Esperanza's continued布局 in the entertainment and cultural asset sector. The Company is actively identifying more projects with tokenization potential and commercial scalability, covering films, live entertainment, theatre IP, licensing businesses, AI immersive entertainment, multimedia applications, experiential scenarios, and other project categories with real asset foundations and commercial cash flow potential.
Esperanza anticipates that, with the rapid development of the Asia-Pacific content industry, fan engagement models, artificial intelligence technology, and immersive entertainment ecosystems, the market will require more mature compliant financial platforms to assist high-quality cultural and entertainment projects in expanding capital connections, community participation, and commercialization capabilities. Currently, the Company is evaluating and advancing multiple related projects, with the potential project pipeline scale estimated to exceed HKD 2 billion, covering entertainment culture, licensed IP, property, multimedia, AI immersive entertainment, and other real-world asset application directions.
Esperanza emphasizes that the Company will continue to adhere to compliance, transparency, and sustainable development as its core principles, pushing cultural and entertainment assets from traditional project financing and single consumption models towards a more institutionalized, digital, and participatory new financial market model, creating new growth space for the creative industries in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region.
