Opinion: Joshua Chu, co-chair of Hong Kong Web3 Association Last week’s announcement of Hong Kong’s Leap Digital Assets Policy Statement 2.0 was made with many predictions and fanfare. The Hong Kong government has committed to a comprehensive regulatory framework that unifies licensing and “expands to tokenized products.” But beneath the hype and visible manipulation there is a much more important movement. It announces its intention to liquidate cryptocurrency confiscated through a licensed exchange in Beijing (the world’s second largest owner) Hong Kong. These events, although seemingly distinct, are actually elements of a carefully organized strategy by China, designed to position…

He compared them to mobile game loot boxes, which serve speculative individuals. Meanwhile, the comments thwarted sentiment as Solana’s Dex…

Also, banks should not effectively operate Britcoin bank accounts without a…

Derivative data points to bullish momentum, with ETH open interest reaching a record $57.7 billion. Ethereum hit a rather wild milestone. 10 years online, non-stop.
