Hong Kong remains one of the most attractive hubs for cryptocurrency businesses despite global economic challenges. Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said in a keynote speech at Consensus 2025 that Hong Kong continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and transparency by providing a favorable environment for digital asset companies to develop.

“We support innovative projects and strive to ensure fair regulation,” the Financial Secretary said. “Our market remains open to investment, and we continue to attract leading players in the global crypto industry.”

Hong Kong has long sought to position itself as a hub for financial innovation. Its Cyberport Web3 network, a government business hub promoting digital asset innovation, currently hosts more than 270 blockchain companies, adding more than 120 in the past 17 months.

This policy reaffirms Hong Kong’s strategic vision as a global hub for crypto innovation. Lawmakers and regulators are working to create a framework that will ensure investor protection without compromising the growth and dynamism of the market.
