CoinVoice has learned that OSL Chief Commercial Officer Guoliang Hao stated that a previous Chainalysis report indicated that the digital asset usage rate in Hong Kong is 24%, which is average compared to other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Additionally, there has indeed been a significant increase in Hong Kong companies consulting or registering to open accounts for virtual asset investment services with OSL in 2024, especially from traditional enterprises in sectors such as listed companies, foreign trade, family offices, trust funds, and payment.
Guoliang Hao stated that as virtual assets are gradually accepted by global investors and mainstream markets, the Hong Kong government continues to strengthen legislation and regulation in the digital asset sector. It is expected that by 2025, institutional investors' interest and investment in deploying digital assets will continue to rise, and the demand for custody, over-the-counter investment trading platform services, and PayFi payment financial solutions will further increase.
