OpCo / HoldCo / LP / GP / stakeholder structure snapshot: Conflux (public tree-graph blockchain, native token
$CFX) sits at the center. Shanghai TreeMap Blockchain Research Institute functions as the R&D / ecosystem HoldCo arm in mainland China. Conflux Hong Kong is the clear OpCo executing local HK regulatory and ecosystem plays. HKU-SCF FinTech Academy HKU Business School provide academic LP/GP-style validation and talent pipeline. Legal stakeholders (Mankun King & Wood) handle the compliance wrapper for RWA, stablecoins, and AI agent deployments. HK SAR government policy group = soft power / licensing tailwind. This is textbook Asia Web3 institutional stack: academia → founder-led chain ($CFX) → local OpCo → legal rails → government nod.
