Hong Kong unveils ambitious digital asset strategy for 2026-27. Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced a comprehensive framework including a new digital asset platform for settling digital bonds, an SFC-backed accelerator to expedite fintech approvals, and regulated stablecoin licensing starting March 2026. The government is positioning digital assets as a core pillar of its financial architecture. The SFC accelerator will streamline innovation approval while maintaining investor protections, potentially attracting institutional capital. Regulated stablecoins could modernize cross-border payments and trade settlement. Hong Kong also plans crypto tax transparency aligned with OECD standards within two years. These moves signal Hong Kong's determination to compete as a leading digital finance hub and attract major crypto and fintech firms to establish operations in the city.
