Additional Important Content - To enhance the liquidity of financing-oriented RWA markets, introducing mature Swiss products for secondary circulation can be effective, which would help expand market size and improve liquidity levels [8]. - In the investment-oriented RWA market, it is advisable to select companies that have already issued RWA, such as Longxin Group, and to focus on companies with low price-to-book ratios that are advancing RWA projects, like Jinke Technology and Xiexin Energy [2][9]. - Utility companies with strong underlying renewable energy assets can experience valuation uplift due to the spillover effects of these assets, suggesting a focus on companies like Zhongmian Energy with high ROE levels [10].
