Speaking at the 2026 Global Prosperity Summit, Financial Services and Treasury Secretary Christopher Hui Ching-yu said the city aims to create a sustainable digital asset ecosystem through regulatory support, tokenized financial products, and wider real-world applications for crypto and blockchain technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking during a panel discussion on digital asset development, Hui said the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government is working to strengthen the long-term sustainability of crypto markets through deeper integration with traditional finance. He emphasized that growing public awareness and broader applications for blockchain technology are driving a convergence between conventional financial assets and crypto-based instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Market Liquidity and Real-World Use Cases Remain Key Priorities<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo ensure sustainable growth in the crypto market, we must create more market opportunities and increase practical use cases,\u201d Hui said. He added that a strong and liquid secondary market is essential for continued expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the government\u2019s major initiatives involves linking traditional gold investment products with blockchain technology. Hong Kong is exploring a system where conventional gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can coexist with tokenized ETF units traded on blockchain platforms. Hui described gold trading as a potential \u201cbridge\u201d between traditional and digital finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government is also taking regulatory steps to support digital ownership and tokenized finance. According to Hui, the Companies Registry will soon issue guidelines clarifying how the Companies Ordinance applies to digital ownership structures. Authorities are additionally working to normalize the issuance of tokenized government bonds to ensure a stable supply of digital assets in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hong Kong Backs Real-World Asset Tokenization Through Innovation Programs<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To encourage innovation, the government is partnering with Cyberport to support blockchain applications focused on real-world asset tokenization. Hui stressed that Hong Kong does not plan to establish a separate regulator exclusively for digital assets, arguing that close integration with traditional financial oversight is necessary to achieve regulatory synergy and smooth market convergence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 22, 2026 By Anjali Kochhar Hong Kong Accelerates Its Vision to Become a Global Digital Asset Hub Hong Kong is stepping up efforts to become a global leader in digital finance, with the government announcing plans to expand cryptocurrency use cases, improve market liquidity, and strengthen links between traditional financial systems and blockchain technology.
