Hong Kong Securities and Exchange Commission: Expand the types of digital asset products and services provided to professional investors

According to Golden Finance, the Hong Kong Securities and Exchange Commission welcomes the measures proposed in the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address to support the sustainable development of Hong Kong as a leading international financial center. The Policy Address’s recommendations on strengthening the stock market and optimizing the listing system will consolidate Hong Kong’s position as the world’s preferred listing place. At the same time, the proposal to include RMB counters and real estate investment trust funds in the Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect will help deepen the connection between Hong Kong and the mainland market. In terms of innovation, suggestions on expanding the types of digital asset products and services provided to professional investors are expected to promote the development of Hong Kong's digital asset ecosystem. These measures are highly consistent with the strategic priorities of the CSRC.
