Bitcoin Usvajanje: Hong Kong je azijsko kripto čvorište u usponu
The city of Hong Kong is serious about crypto. After three years of struggles with COVID-19, the city is vibrant and flourishing again as business executives and tourists of all kinds pour back into Asia's financial center. New guidelines from the Securities and Futures Commission are paving the way.
Since Hong Kong FinTech Week last year regulators have been building a comprehensive license regime for digital assets. Regulated under the principle of “same business, same risks, same rules,” digital assets are now being approached with similar rules to traditional financial ones. This has resulted in breakthrough moments for the industry this year such as when Hong Kong's licensed exchange HashKey launched a digital asset exchange App, and various traditional financial institutions received relevant licenses allowing them to offer digital asset retail trading.
This was made possible by the Hong Kong government's comprehensive strategy to make the city a desirable Web3 hub. It started with a goal to improve foreign investment and talent recruitment.
The Hong Kong government sees the digital assets industry as a driving force behind its immigration and foreign investment back into the city. Other steps the Hong Kong government has taken in this area include: announcing a series of policies focused on attracting overseas family offices with tax incentives and releasing a plan that allows Bitcoin to be purchased through compliant exchanges which is currently under consideration by Hong Kong's Investment Immigration Program.
Privlačenjem stranih investicija i vrhunskih talenata, gradski čelnici se nadaju povratku poslovnog povjerenja i raznovrsnijoj digitalnoj ekonomiji. Osim toga, ažurirana šema talenata za imigraciju osmišljena je da privuče visoko zarađivače i strane diplomce sa vrhunskih univerziteta. Do sada je sekretar za rad otkrio da je kancelarija primila više od očekivanog broja prijava. Svi ovi napori će postaviti čvršće temelje za grad da ima raznoliku bazu talenata za digitalnu ekonomiju.
Licenciranje digitalne imovine otvorilo je mogućnosti za stvaranje moćnih kripto kompanija sa sjedištem u Hong Kongu. U Metalphi smo nedavno dobili povećanje licence tipa 4 (savjetovanje u vezi s vrijednosnim papirima). To će nam omogućiti da proširimo naše napore u savjetodavnim i izdavačkim analizama, te nam omogućiti da objavljujemo izvještaje kvalifikovanim investitorima o digitalnoj imovini. Ovo je prekretnica za nas i dodatno pokazuje povjerenje SFC-a u naš poslovni pristup.
In fact, since the start of this year, we have observed strong demand from family offices and public companies asking how to invest in Bitcoin in a compliant way. Smart investors who see through the noise and beyond the negative headlines are being rewarded with clear opportunities to grow and benefit from crypto and Web3. I believe more companies will apply for licenses to attract investment, boost their business credibility, and pursue new opportunities as a result.
A recent story reported by the Financial Times shows that Hong Kong is projected to overtake Switzerland as the world’s leading cross-border wealth management as Asia spearheads the growth. This massive global wealth shift presents a great opportunity for investors eyeing digital assets. As regulations become clearer for the digital assets industry in the coming years, Hong Kong will stand out as a city that offers a balanced approach to innovation and risk assessment.
Radujući se novoj godini, uvjeren sam da će Hong Kong nastaviti igrati ključnu ulogu u izgradnji Web3 čvorišta i ući u daljnju direktnu konkurenciju sa Singapurom, koji je imao prednost u ranom pokretanju kriptovaluta. I ovo je dobra stvar. Investitori bi trebali imati više opcija za odabir najboljih kripto projekata ili kompanija s kojima će raditi. Što se tiče kupaca, to će povećati povjerenje kada budu znali da je njihov dobavljač usluga siguran i usklađen u očima regulatora.
