Emerging Market Trends In Digital Asset Applications
In the digital era, economies around the world are seizing opportunities presented by digital asset while ensuring risk management and regulatory compliance. In June 2023, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission introduced a regulatory framework for virtual asset trading platforms which aims to support the industry’s orderly and sustainable development. To delve into what lies ahead, this session will explore the significance of Hong Kong’s ongoing collaboration with international markets in order to ensure that our city’s digital asset and Web3 policies align with global standards, thereby fostering broader market adoption. Furthermore, we will discuss emerging market trends in digital asset applications across various industries, including topics such as tokenization, blockchain-based payment solutions, and more.
