Hong Kong’s New Crypto Regulation Set to Launch on August 1

Hong Kong is making it clear it wants to lead the next wave of digital finance. On June 26, the city’s government released its much-anticipated Policy Statement 2.0 on the development of digital assets, an update to its original 2022 plan. This new strategy reaffirms Hong Kong’s commitment to becoming a global crypto and tokenisation hub, with a bold framework built around regulation, innovation, and adoption.
