#write2earn Crypto Chronicles: #VeChain and #Neo Ride Hong Kong's Ambitions #MarketAnalysis #Altcoins $NEO $VET
Analysts have noticed a trend where China-related tokens like VeChain and Neo are being seen as stand-ins for Hong Kong's aspirations to establish itself as a premier crypto center in Asia.
This observation arises amidst speculation that regulators in Hong Kong might soon authorize spot ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) for Bitcoin and Ethereum. As anticipated, both tokens recorded significant gains over the week. However, they experienced some retracement from their weekly highs due to the broader market downturn.
Wintermute analysts assessed the situation regarding these alternative coins, stating:
"VeChain and Neo are being viewed as indicators of demand in Asia, particularly within retail and fast-moving investment circles. Neo, for instance, has earned the moniker 'China's Ethereum'."
Additionally, analysts pointed out that Hong Kong's endeavors to position itself as a cryptocurrency hub in the Eastern region likely bolstered Neo's robust performance and noticeable capital inflows into VeChain and Conflux:
"This selection of tokens garnered attention from numerous fast-paced investors around June 2023, coinciding with Hong Kong's initiation of individual crypto licensing. Many viewed them as indicative of flows from the Asia-Pacific region."
The upward trajectory of each token aligns with reports suggesting that Hong Kong regulators might greenlight spot ETFs tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum earlier in the week.
