Singapore-based software provider Republic Power Group Limited (NASDAQ: RPGL) announced its entry into the blockchain sector on April 27, acquiring a 10% stake in NVC Partners and securing access to a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform. The move positions the enterprise technology firm to compete in the rapidly expanding digital asset infrastructure market.
"This transaction marks a major milestone in RPGL's evolution into a technology-driven platform company with capabilities in digital finance infrastructure," Ziyang Long, Chief Executive Officer of RPGL, said. "By combining our enterprise systems expertise with access to institutional-grade blockchain technology, we are positioning RPGL to participate in the next wave of capital markets innovation."
The agreement provides RPGL with a 10% equity interest in NVC Partners and a technology services arrangement with NVTH Limited ("NVT"). This gives RPGL rights to a proprietary RWA tokenization system and a secondary trading infrastructure. The global on-chain RWA market value reached $27.7 billion in April 2026, a 300% year-on-year increase, while broader market research values the sector at $418.57 billion in 2026.
By integrating NVT's blockchain solutions, RPGL aims to leverage its existing enterprise client base across Asia to capture a share of the institutional digital finance market. The expansion comes as the sector, projected to hit $3 trillion by 2030, is supported by increasing regulatory clarity in financial hubs like Hong Kong and Singapore.

The platform from NVT is a comprehensive RWA tokenization system designed for issuing and trading digital financial instruments, supported by integrated compliance and settlement modules. NVT, a Hong Kong-based fintech firm founded in 2019, has a track record of supporting significant tokenization projects. These include Hong Kong's first tokenized security for GF Securities and the blockchain infrastructure for a CNH 500 million tokenized bond.
A representative for NVT stated that RPGL's "strong institutional relationships and enterprise integration capabilities make it a strategic partner for expanding the adoption of digital asset infrastructure." The collaboration is expected to accelerate the deployment of tokenization solutions for regulated institutions and enterprise clients throughout Asia.
