New Regulations on Virtual Currency: Eight Chinese government departments issued a notice to further prevent risks associated with virtual currency, while the China Securities Regulatory Commission introduced guidelines for the issuance of asset-backed securities tokens, defining Real World Assets (RWA) and establishing a regulatory framework for overseas tokenization of domestic assets.
Implications of the Regulation: The new regulations clarify the distinction between virtual currency and RWA, enforce compliance based on asset classification, and promote RWA financing for domestic entities abroad, adhering to the principle of "same business, same risk, same rules."
Hong Kong's Role as a Digital Asset Center: Hong Kong is expected to benefit significantly from the demand for quality asset outflows from China, with licensed Virtual Asset Trading Platforms (VATP) positioned as key players in the RWA sector, facilitating compliant listing, custody, and trading services.
Beneficiaries of Expanded Financing Channels: The expanded overseas RWA financing channels will benefit two tiers of entities: T1 includes financial infrastructure providers and brokers with cross-border experience, while T2 consists of Hong Kong licensed VATP brokerages and trading platforms.
