The Hong Kong SAR Government Plans to Promote Broader Tokenization of Assets and Financial Instruments

On June 26, the Hong Kong SAR Government stated in the "Hong Kong Digital Asset Development Policy Declaration 2.0" that it will establish a licensing mechanism for digital asset trading service providers and digital asset custody service providers. To better reflect the nature of assets and align with international markets, the Hong Kong SAR Government has replaced the term "virtual assets" with "digital assets." This declaration introduces the "LEAP" framework, focusing on optimizing legal and regulatory frameworks, expanding the variety of tokenized products, promoting application scenarios and cross-sector collaboration, and developing talent and partnerships. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission will serve as the main regulatory body for digital asset trading service providers and digital asset custody service providers, while the Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority will lead the legislative review to facilitate the tokenization of real-world assets and financial instruments.

It is reported that the Hong Kong SAR Government will regularize the issuance of tokenized government bonds in the future and promote broader tokenization of assets and financial instruments, showcasing the diverse applications of this technology in sectors such as precious metals, non-ferrous metals, and renewable energy. The licensing mechanism for stablecoin issuers will be implemented on August 1, which will help advance the development of substantive application scenarios. Subsequently, the Hong Kong Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau and the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission will conduct public consultations on the relevant licensing mechanisms.
