Hong Kong’s Virtual Banks Eye Web3 Expansion Despite Regulatory challenges

Hong Kong's virtual banks, holding just 0.3% of retail banking assets, are ambitiously exploring the Web3 space despite facing significant regulatory challenges. Legislator Johnny Ng Kit-chong is pushing for greater support for Web3 companies, highlighting the potential benefits for Hong Kong’s financial ecosystem.

Crypto-related businesses face hurdles in opening accounts due to stringent regulations, leading some firms to consider relocating. However, Ng remains optimistic, advocating for a clear government strategy to foster Web3 growth.

Mox Bank is already making strides, launching crypto ETFs and planning further digital investment opportunities. Additionally, Ng has floated the idea of incorporating Bitcoin into Hong Kong’s financial reserves as a hedge against inflation.As Hong Kong’s virtual banks navigate these regulatory waters, their efforts to expand into Web3 could signal a new era of digital finance for the city.

The green vertical lines mark the days from which the bitcoin price only rose, and the red vertical lines mark the days from which the price only fell.

It doesn't really matter how many days bitcoin was rising and how many days it was falling, either way in the scale we can see that bitcoin is always rising in price 🚀

Analysts note that the main fall in U.S. stocks has historically occurred after the Fed moves into a rate-cutting cycle.

Bloomberg emphasizes that the Fed starts cutting rates when “everything is already gone,” so the negative impact on U.S. stocks from a Fed rate hike is delayed (usually after the rate cuts have begun).
