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