The company’s report has mentioned Hong Kong’s efforts since 2022 to establish a complete regulatory framework for virtual assets.
To date, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has authorized 10 cryptographic trading platforms, including bullish regulatory progress.
The activity of the industry also accelerates, highlighted by events such as the expansion of the Consensual Conference of Coindesk and the visits of key characters such as the co-founder of Binance Changpeng Zhao, Justin Sun de Tron and Vitalik Buerin d’Ethereum.
Crypto Boom leads to an increase in the Hong Kong real estate market
The influx of cryptography professionals also had an impact on the Hong Kong real estate market.
As indicated, professionals working in the crypto and hedge funds play a key role in the support of the Hong Kong residential rental market, which continues to fight due to small traditional sources of demand.
The rental activity in the first quarter of 2025 remained concentrated in Kowloon and in the lower rental media, even if the expatriates began to return from Singapore.
In particular, Hong Kong will introduce a more detailed framework for the virtual asset policy by the end of the year, while the city continues to refine its approach to web3 and related technologies, the financial secretary Paul Chan said on Monday.
Speaking at the Hong Kong Web3 festival, Chan said that the next policy declaration would broaden the previous commitments of the government, emphasizing the use of web3 to improve traditional financial services.
