Wu Shuo learned that according to Ming Pao, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced in the 2025-2026 Budget that the SAR government plans to release the second virtual asset policy declaration in the second quarter of this year, aiming to combine the advantages of traditional finance with innovation in virtual asset technology, enhance the security and flexibility of the real economy, and encourage local and international enterprises to explore related applications. Sources say that compared to the first declaration in 2022, the new version will focus more on market development and regulatory balance. The Hong Kong government will also consult on the licensing system for over-the-counter trading and custody services of virtual assets within the year. It was also revealed that the virtual asset roadmap released by the China Securities Regulatory Commission last week focused on internal measures, while the new declaration has a broader scope and is not limited to single institution supervision. http://(wublock123.com)/index.php? m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=38634
