Bitcoin Posvojitev: Hongkong je rastoče azijsko kripto središče
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.
S privabljanjem tujih naložb in vrhunskih talentov mestni voditelji upajo, da bodo povrnili poslovno zaupanje in bolj raznoliko digitalno gospodarstvo. Poleg tega je posodobljena shema talentov za priseljevanje zasnovana tako, da pritegne zaposlene z visokimi zaslužki in tuje diplomante vrhunskih univerz. Doslej je minister za delo razkril, da je urad prejel več vlog od pričakovanega. Vsa ta prizadevanja bodo postavila močnejše temelje, da bo imelo mesto raznoliko skupino talentov za digitalno gospodarstvo.
Licenciranje digitalnih sredstev je odprlo priložnosti za ustvarjanje močnih kripto podjetij s sedežem v Hongkongu. V podjetju Metalpha smo nedavno pridobili povišanje licence tipa 4 (svetovanje o vrednostnih papirjih). To nam bo omogočilo razširitev naših prizadevanj pri analizi svetovanja in izdajanja ter nam omogočilo objavo poročil kvalificiranim vlagateljem o digitalnih sredstvih. To je za nas mejnik in dodatno kaže na zaupanje SFC v naš poslovni pristop.
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.
V pričakovanju novega leta sem prepričan, da bo Hongkong še naprej igral ključno vlogo pri izgradnji vozlišča Web3 in vstopil v nadaljnjo neposredno konkurenco Singapurju, ki je imel prednost na področju kriptovalut. In to je dobra stvar. Vlagatelji bi morali imeti več možnosti za izbiro najboljših kripto projektov ali podjetij za sodelovanje. Kar zadeva stranke, bo to povečalo zaupanje, ko bodo vedele, da je njihov ponudnik storitev v očeh regulatorjev varen in skladen.
