Major financial hubs such as Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan are committed to balancing innovation and regulation, and continue to explore and approve activities that blend traditional and decentralized finance while protecting investor rights. The Hong Kong government is actively developing cryptocurrency regulation to support cryptocurrency trading and other related activities.
