Nanjing unveils the world's first RWA building! IVD MEDICAL (01931) brings blockchain from virtual to physical.

On September 19, IVD MEDICAL (01931) announced the official completion of the ETHK Building (also known as IVD MEDICAL Building) in Nanjing, the world's first core base dedicated to the research and development of digital technology for real-world assets (RWA) and ecosystem empowerment. On the same day, the company unveiled a new version of its brand logo, clearly conveying its determination to transform its strategy into "a global enabler of digital industry innovation and on-chain financial infrastructure." The technology landmark located at 190 Leshan Road, Jianye District, Nanjing, is not only a symbol of the IVD MEDICAL "ETHK on-chain financial ecosystem strategy" entering a new era of physical implementation and scaled technology deployment, but also signifies the blockchain technology truly stepping out of the virtual world of code forests and moving towards a new stage of deep integration with the real economy. 1. Technological Foundation: From on-chain protocols to physical infrastructure According to the announcement, the total construction area of the ETHK Building is approximately 70,000 square meters, with clear functional divisions between the main building and the group building, equipped with advanced data centers, research laboratories, and testing environments. It is designed as a "dual infrastructure": not only a collaborative innovation base physically gathering over 5,000 technical experts and ecosystem collaborators, but also a technological hub for blockchain underlying development, cross-chain protocol integration, smart contract auditing, and compliance technology (RegTech) research. IVD MEDICAL recently established entities such as ETHK Inc. and ETHK HOLDINGS LIMITED to clarify its positioning as a "ecosystem technology enabler and infrastructure provider." The completion of the building is a tangible response to this technological blueprint. It is not only the largest in the global RWA field, but also aims to become the "physical operating system" providing asset digitization solutions for various vertical industries. As pointed out in the "RWA Industry Development Research Report" by the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association, RWA tokenization is a "structured system engineering covering asset access, value pricing, token issuance, and transaction circulation." The ETHK Building is precisely the "physical server" built by IVD MEDICAL to address the complexity of such systems. 2. Location in Nanjing: Triple coupling of policy, industry, and talent The decision of IVD MEDICAL to establish the world's first RWA base in Nanjing is a carefully considered strategic layout. Firstly, there is a highly synergistic industrial eco... 3. Strategic Elevation: An example of empowering the real economy with digital technology IVD MEDICAL's "physicalization" initiative this time is closely aligned with its brand renewal and strategic upgrade. The company announced its intention to rename to "ETHK Labs Inc." / "Engineering Digital Industry Group Co., Ltd.," with the new logo highlighting "ETHK Labs" to emphasize its technology-driven positioning. Its brand philosophy "Technology for the public, chain as the carrier of the Dao" is also materialized in this building - it is not only a fortress of technological innovation, but also a platform for ecosystem empowerment and a node of regulatory practice. All of this serves a larger vision: to truly empower the real economy with blockchain technology. IVD MEDICAL recently collaborated with Renhe Pharmacy (000650.SZ), a wholly-owned subsidiary company, to jointly build the world's first OTC vertical RWA exchange in the United States, which is a benchmark case of "technology empowering reality." By tokenizing intangible assets of Renhe's well-known brands such as "Fujianjie" and "Youkadai," it not only opens up new financing channels and growth curves for them, but also validates the feasibility of IVD MEDICAL's "ETHK Global RWA Exchange" business model. This is not just a business, but also an industrial revolution. IVD MEDICAL aims to help traditional industry leaders complete digital transformation through technology output, ultimately serving the grand narrative of national industrial upgrading and digital economic development. Conclusion: A value revolution from "on-chain" to "on-ground" The completion of the ETHK Building marks a new stage in the development of blockchain: moving from the speculation of virtual currencies and the idling of protocols towards the discovery of value, efficiency improvement, and liquidity activation of real assets. According to Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) prediction, the global RWA market is expected to reach $16.1 trillion by 2030. IVD MEDICAL's anchoring this transformation with a physical building not only demonstrates its strategic determination, but also reflects its commitment to compliance and sustainable technological paths. As stated in the announcement, this building is the physical carrier of IVD MEDICAL's practice of "serving the country, benefiting the people, and benefiting the world." It heralds the beginning of a new era: where blockchain is no longer just an experimental ground for financial innovation, but also an infrastructure that empowers thousands of industries and serves the real economy. The inauguration ceremony of the world's first RWA technology base at the ETHK Building in Nanjing will be held on the morning of September 22, where global financial technology leaders, government representatives, industry pioneers, etc., will gather in Nanjing to witness the start of a new era of "on-chain flows."
