Hong Kong to Release Second Policy Statement in June, Boosting Digital Assets

TradingKey – Hong Kong is set to unveil its second digital asset policy statement, a move expected to inject fresh momentum for the crypto market.

On Friday, June 13, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan summarized recent developments in digital asset regulation, covering exchanges, stablecoins, and over-the-counter trading at the 2025 Caixin Summer Summit. He also announced plans to release the second digital asset policy statement later this month.

Chan stated, “This month, we will issue our second policy statement on the development of digital assets in Hong Kong, focusing on the integration of financial services and innovation, as well as expanding application scenarios for digital assets.”

In October 2022, Hong Kong published its first policy statement, titled "Policy Statement on the Development of Virtual Assets in Hong Kong". This document outlined Hong Kong’s proactive stance on crypto industry development, covering issuance, trading, management, and tokenization.

While the first policy statement focused on building the foundational framework for crypto, the second statement emphasizes applications and innovation — serving as a complementary expansion. This shift is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of the crypto market, while also providing new value support for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin(BTC) and Ethereum(ETH).
