Web3 Rising in Hong Kong

The Policy Statement on Development of Virtual Assets in Hong Kong issued by the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau of Hong Kong on Oct.31,2022 introduced the policies formulated by the Hong Kong government on developing the virtual asset industry and ecosystem. By keeping an open mind towards the transaction of virtual assets and the property rights of the tokenized assets as well as legalizing smart contracts,Hong Kong shows its stance and support to the future development of virtual assets.

This is one of the reasons to why Hong Kong was chosen as the city to host the inaugural Web3 Festival. The Hong Kong government has been actively working on the development of virtual assets and Web3 industry by launching NFTs,digital green bonds,e-HKD and planning to formulate more sophisticated regulatory policies.

At the "Web3 in Hong Kong" sub-session,Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2023 will invite regulatory representatives to introduce Hong Kong Government's latest regulatory policies and way forward for the Web3 and virtual asset industry.
