Hong Kong SFC: Expanding the Types of Digital Asset Products and Services Offered to Professional Investors

Jinse Finance reported that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) welcomes the measures proposed in the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address to support Hong Kong's continued development as a leading international financial center. The policy address's recommended measures to strengthen the stock market and optimize the listing regime will consolidate Hong Kong's position as a global premier listing destination. Meanwhile, the proposal to include RMB counters and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect will help deepen the connection between Hong Kong and Mainland markets. In terms of innovation, the suggestions to expand the types of digital asset products and services available to professional investors are expected to promote the development of Hong Kong's digital asset ecosystem. These measures are highly aligned with the SFC's strategic priorities.
