Here is the English translation:
Hong Kong has quickly become a Bit center, positioning itself as a financial innovation hub alongside the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Singapore. Ivan Ivanov, the global CEO of WOW Summit, said this innovation is a combination of strict legal policies and Hong Kong's unique economic position.
Ivanov told TinTucBitcoin that Hong Kong's special relationship with Mainland China and tight regulations allow Hong Kong to become a "The Sandbox" for financial and technical innovation, which benefits startups, emerging technologies, and wealthy investors. Ivanov wrote:
"You'll get the excitement and potential of Bit, but with the stability and security of an established financial system. With Hong Kong's strong connections to the global market, especially Mainland China, this is truly a unique and promising place for Bit."
The CEO of WOW Summit further said that Hong Kong's stablecoin policy, requiring stablecoin issuers to be licensed and hold fiat reserves in local Hong Kong banks, fosters trust and transparency in this emerging asset class.
## Latest Developments in Hong Kong's Bit
Hong Kong's strict legal regime creates an attractive environment for investors who want to experience the potential of advanced financial technology without the fear of losing money in risky projects without legal safeguards.
In October 2024, the Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) laid out fundamental rules on AI in finance to mitigate AI risks while still promoting integration into existing systems.
Also in October 2024, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced Project Ensemble. This initiative between HKMA, the Central Bank of Brazil, and the Bank of Thailand aims to explore cross-border Bit payment solutions among the three countries.
The Web3 network of Hong Kong's Cyberport — a government-managed business center to promote digital asset innovation — now has over 270 Blockchain companies. The Cyberport network has added over 120 companies in the past 17 months.
In November 2024, Hong Kong's largest digital bank ZA Bank launched retail Bit trading services for its customers. The Hong Kong government has also proposed exempting institutional investors from capital gains tax on their Bit holdings to encourage investment.
