Hong Kong Defends “Same Risk, Same Regulation” Crypto Framework at WEF - Crypto Economy

Within the framework of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, stated that Hong Kong defends crypto regulation at Davos under the principle of “same activity, same risk, same regulation.” Chan emphasized that this approach seeks to balance technological innovation with financial stability, ensuring that digital asset companies are supervised according to the risks of their operations rather than just the technology employed.

The impact of this stance reinforces the region’s position as a global “hub,” highlighting achievements such as the issuance of $2.1 billion in tokenized green bonds and successful cross-border payment pilots with the Brazilian bank Inter. These advancements demonstrate that the Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA) is a strategic priority to securely integrate traditional finance with the blockchain ecosystem.

Amidst this context, the issuance of the first licenses for stablecoin issuers is expected in the first quarter of 2026. Furthermore, the implementation of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s “DART” strategy (Data, AI, Resilience, and Tokenisation) will lead the way with more than 40 initiatives aimed at expanding artificial intelligence and resilience in on-chain markets over the next five years.
