Hong Kong issues policy statement on crypto
The Hong Kong government issued a crypto policy statement that clarified its plans to develop “a vibrant sector and ecosystem” for the nascent industry on October 31. The policy statement marks a key change for the government, which had recently revealed intentions to allow retail traders to invest directly in crypto. According to the policy statement, licensed exchanges would operate in compliance with necessary anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF), and investor protection laws. This would allow them “to access a wider net of investors in the Hong Kong market.”.
