PANews reported on February 19 that Ru Haiyang, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer of HashKey Group, pointed out in an exclusive interview with Phoenix TV's "Asia Financial Perspective" that the Consensus conference and the recent intensive Web3 conferences held in Hong Kong are just the beginning. The choice of Hong Kong is based on common considerations - Hong Kong not only has a compliant and transparent regulatory environment, but also has a rich market customer base and partner ecosystem.

Regarding the virtual asset development roadmap released by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission on the same day, Ru Haiyang analyzed that the 12 initiatives of the five pillars of "ASPI-Re" will anchor the direction of the development of Hong Kong's virtual asset industry in the next three years, including opening up staking services, attracting global liquidity, exploring derivatives trading and financing and lending, adjusting the ratio of cold and hot wallets and insurance, and cross-departmental and cross-regulatory collaboration. Ru Haiyang said that many of the contents in this roadmap are derived from industry calls and feedback, and it is expected that at least three of the initiatives will make substantial progress this year.
