The Hyperchain’s founder, Mr. Shi Xingguo, believes that Hong Kong is more attractive to mainland China than other Asia-Pacific regions. He also stated that Hong Kong has always had a solid foundation for financial business, but its initiative in virtual assets has been surpassed by other regions in recent years. Therefore, it is crucial for Hong Kong to lead in virtual assets in the Asia-Pacific region and even internationally, while maintaining long-term and consistent policies.
In addition to policies, Hong Kong has plans to attract major upstream and downstream participants to settle in Hong Kong, forming a relatively complete ecosystem. Hong Kong and mainland China can complement each other in many ways. Previously, many Web3 projects in mainland China, including encrypted asset projects, were forced to develop overseas due to regulatory reasons, but they still rely heavily on domestic development resources and application development capabilities. If they were to operate in other areas, there would be distance issues, and they would need to quickly adapt to the policies, environment, and culture of other regions, but sometimes conflicts happened.
Hong Kong itself is from Chinese culture, and also speak Chinese. Recently, there has been a view in the industry that “are Chinese people becoming the Jews of Web3,” which means that due to language communication issues, Chinese projects may not be as competitive as overseas projects in English-speaking environments. However, this is not an issue in Hong Kong, where Chinese is also a good communication medium. Therefore, it is relatively easy for mainland Web3 companies to take advantage in talent and application development in Hong Kong. From this perspective, the Web3 market in mainland China can provide more real business support for virtual asset applications in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong’s virtual asset-related policies can enable more real businesses in mainland China to combine with virtual assets and reach a legal and compliant balance. Moreover, Hong Kong has financial flexibility that mainland China lacks, and Hong Kong can leverage its own advantages while using mainland China’s development and application advantages. Therefore, in the overall picture, Hong Kong is actually as competitive as Tokyo or even Singapore, so they hope that this policy can truly promote the industry development for a long term. This is an opportunity that Web3 practitioners should take and pay special attention to.
