Hong Kong Continues to Support Web3 Development

To encourage the growth of Web3 and digital assets in Hong Kong, Johnny Ng Kit-Chong, a member of the Legislative Council for Hong Kong, announced on June 22 the creation of the Subcommittee on Web3 and Virtual Asset Development. The council is seeking input on several crucial areas related to the development of Web3 policies, such as striking a balance between the legal, technological, and regulatory frameworks in order to establish a cohesive regulatory framework that supports Web3 development.
