The quarterly growth of HKD 640 billion is indeed impressive, but more importantly, whether the legislative draft in 2026 can truly implement the custody and asset management regulations—that's the real confidence for institutional funds to enter on a large scale.

According to CryptoWorld News, Wu has learned that Huang Tianyou, Chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, said at the “Digital Hong Kong Financial Summit 2026” that the 2025 trading amount of 12 Hong Kong licensed virtual asset trading platforms is expected to exceed HK$640 billion. This year, the trading amount in the first quarter has increased by nearly three times year-on-year. He said that Hong Kong will optimize, at the institutional level, a comprehensive regulatory framework for virtual assets, covering key areas such as custody, trading, asset management, and investment advisory. At present, the public consultation on the relevant licensing regime has been completed. It will be finalized together with the Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau on legislative proposals, with the goal of submitting a draft ordinance to the Legislative Council in 2026 to establish a regulatory system fully aligned with international standards.
