Bitcoin Adopzioa: Hong Kong Asiako Rising Crypto Hub da
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.
Atzerriko inbertsioak eta talentu nagusiak erakarriz, hiriko buruzagiek negozioen konfiantza eta ekonomia digital anitzagoa berreskuratzea espero dute. Horrez gain, immigrazio talentuaren eskema eguneratua goi-mailako unibertsitateetako diru-sarrera handiak eta atzerriko tituludunak erakartzeko diseinatuta dago. Orain arte Lan Idazkaritzak jakinarazi du bulegoak espero zen eskaera kopurua baino gehiago jaso duela. Ahalegin horiek guztiek oinarri sendoagoak ezarriko dituzte hiriak ekonomia digitalerako talentu multzo anitza izan dezan.
Aktibo digitalen lizentziak aukerak ireki ditu Hong Kong-en oinarritutako kripto-enpresa potentzialak sortzeko. Metalpha-n, duela gutxi igoera bat lortu dugu gure 4 motako lizentzia (baloreei buruzko aholkularitza). Horri esker, aholkularitza- eta igorpen-analisietan egiten ditugun esfortzuak zabaltzeko aukera emango digu, eta aktibo digitalei buruzko inbertitzaile kualifikatuei txostenak argitaratzeko aukera emango digu. Hau mugarri bat da guretzat eta SFC-k gure negozio ikuspegian duen konfiantza erakusten du.
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.
Urte berriari begira, ziur nago Hong Kong-ek funtsezko papera betetzen jarraituko duela Web3 zentroa eraikitzeko eta lehia zuzen gehiago sartuko duela Singapurrekin, zeinak kriptoen abantaila goiztiarra zuen. Eta hau gauza ona da. Inbertitzaileek aukera gehiago izan beharko lituzkete lan egiteko kripto proiektu edo enpresa onenak aukeratzeko. Bezeroei dagokienez, konfiantza areagotuko du bere zerbitzu-hornitzailea segurua eta betetzen dela jakiten dutenean erregulatzaileen aurrean.
