In his report, Xu Zhengyu highlighted Hong Kong's proactive approach to adopting emerging technologies and promoting responsible development in the Web3 industry.
The Hong Kong Finance Minister announced the establishment of a task force to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the development of Web3 technologies.

Aware of the importance of stablecoins in the digital asset world, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is actively working on a regulatory framework specifically designed for stablecoins.

The regulatory framework prepared by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority aims to ensure the integrity, transparency and robustness of stablecoin transactions within Hong Kong's financial system.
In summary, Hong Kong positions itself as an active hub for fintech and innovative financial services.
The establishment of a task force to promote the sustainable development of the Web3 industry and ongoing efforts to prepare a regulatory framework for stablecoins demonstrate Hong Kong's commitment to adopting new technologies while maintaining regulatory oversight.
