Esperanza’s Tokenised Investment OC01 Records a Double-Digit Return

Hong Kong, 10 November 2026

Esperanza is pleased to announce that Esperanza Fintech (Securities) Limited[1], a member of the group, has completed the final settlement of OC01, its managed tokenised investment in The Big Big Day (《大龍鳳》), and announced redemption. The investment recorded a double-digit return[2], and proceeds will be paid to investors on the redemption date. The Big Big Day is the first stage production of One Cool Stage, part of One Cool Group, and ran 21 shows at Freespace, West Kowloon Cultural District, in July and August 2026. The project’s investment tokens were issued in May 2026. From issue and secondary-market trading to final settlement took under six months, a full investment cycle completed on fintech rails.

Productions like this sit in an awkward position in the capital markets: their cash flows are real but short-lived, too brief for a bank loan and too small for a listing. Esperanza turns such projects into investments that professional investors can assess, with checks at every stage of the project: from selecting the project and negotiating the investment terms to reconciling the settlement accounts before distribution. Those terms were put to use during the run: when a typhoon signal forced the evening show on 25 July to be cancelled and rescheduled, the fund’s share of the extra cost was limited, because a cap on cost overruns had been agreed at the outset.

Around 30 groups of registered users attended the play through Esperanza’s tokenised experiences, with priority seating and close interaction with the cast. It was the first project to include tokenised experiences, which the public could, separately, buy, transfer and redeem on Esperanza’s platform, espetopia.com.

“Several projects in, we have established Esperanza’s framework for entertainment investment, focused on risk management and disciplined execution,” said Ronald Leung, Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer of Esperanza. “We check each project’s status against signed artist and venue contracts, cap the fund’s exposure to cost overruns, and release funds only as milestones such as ticket-sales targets are met. In our experience, these terms matter more than a star-studded lineup or an optimistic box-office forecast.”

Esperanza is preparing several projects for launch in the fourth quarter of 2026, drawn from its pipelines of international entertainment IP and private credit, and each will be held to the same framework. It hopes this will become the standard way cultural and entertainment projects in Hong Kong reach professional investors.
