Chen Maobo: Virtuelle Währungen sind ein Teil der Finanzinnovation, Hongkong sollte sie begrüßen, aber vorsichtig vorgehen

Odaily Planet Daily News: Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Pang-wing stated today during a program appearance that Hong Kong’s economic growth last year was 3.2%. Regarding the development of virtual currencies and artificial intelligence, Chan Pang-wing pointed out that virtual currency is part of financial innovation and Hong Kong should embrace it. However, the confidentiality of blockchain technology may bring risks such as insufficient investor protection, impact on anti-money laundering, and threats to financial stability. He emphasized that the Hong Kong government must handle this carefully and incorporate an appropriate regulatory framework. Meanwhile, Chan Pang-wing expressed reservations about comprehensively promoting virtual currency investment to the public, believing that public education and awareness should be strengthened.
