Hong Kong is solidifying its status as a global crypto hub, with a remarkable 85.6% increase in transaction volumes year-over-year, despite retail adoption remaining at 24%. The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has accelerated licensing for virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs), now totaling seven, while the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is spearheading initiatives like Project Ensemble to integrate digital assets into traditional finance. These efforts aim to enhance investor protection and foster a stable yet innovative digital asset ecosystem.
