According to Odaily, Wu Jiezhuang, a member of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Legislative Council, has expressed his support for the development of Web3 and virtual assets in Hong Kong. He made this announcement on the X platform, stating that the Legislative Council had recently established a subcommittee to address matters related to the development of Web3 and virtual assets. The subcommittee is currently seeking global industry opinions to formulate policy suggestions and discuss future industry development directions.

Virtual asset issues include: suggestions for measures beneficial to the development of the virtual asset industry; how to strengthen the protection of virtual asset investors and consumers to boost market confidence; potential application scenarios and risks of stablecoins in Hong Kong, suggesting a regulatory system that protects financial stability without hindering innovation; exploring the rise of Hong Kong's virtual assets on the demand for professional custody services, and researching corresponding custody methods and regulatory measures.
