The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is set to finalize its regulatory framework for digital assets, marking a significant step forward for the region’s financial sector. This initiative aims to attract institutional investors and bolster Hong Kong’s position as a global hub for digital asset trading. Led by CEO Ashley Alder, the framework focuses on enhancing market integrity through regulated services like trading and custody. To ensure compliance, both local and international companies operating within Hong Kong will require licensing. This commitment strengthens regulatory standards and aligns investor interest towards Hong Kong, creating increased legitimacy for digital asset activities. The SFC’s expansive policy will enable over $3 billion USD in institutional inflows into tokenized product offerings, further solidifying Hong Kong’s role as a financial leader in the crypto space.
