Asia Family Office Foundation -AFOF is thrilled to be the supporting partner of the event this year. The exhibition brings together over 40 exhibitors and 8,000 industry professionals, gathering leading figures from finance, technological innovators, and regulatory institutions. Topics covered include Forex, regulatory compliance, payments, cryptocurrency, Web3, blockchain, artificial intelligence, ESG, RWA, fintech, stocks, and capital markets.
Our Vice President and Co-Founder of Hong Kong Digital Finance Association, Mr. Emil Chan, is thrilled to be the panelist on the topic "Connecting TradeFi and DeFi - Bridging the Future of Finance.", sharing the insightful discussion with Jonathan Gill's professional moderation, Alexandre DESCHATRES of SC Ventures by Standard Chartered, Jay Lee of K&L Gates and Toya Zhang of EX.IO for their valuable insights on legal frameworks, tokenization, and strategies for intermediaries.
Together, the panelists explored the current state of the regulated virtual assets market, the opportunities ahead, and Hong Kong’s unique position as a global leader in this space.
When discussing Hong Kong's competitive edge as a virtual assets jurisdiction, Emil emphasized the true potential of our financial ecosystem. The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) has been pegged to the USD for more than four decades, functioning as a reliable and stable currency. Unlike many fiat currencies issued by central banks, the HKD, which is issued by commercial banks, has a proven track record of stability and trust.
The key to unlocking Hong Kong’s greatness as a global trading hub is properly digitalizing the HKD. As digital assets reshape the global financial landscape, Hong Kong's robust regulatory framework and strategic location make it a natural leader in this space. With the right steps to modernize and digitize existing strengths, Hong Kong can be truly made great again as a trading hub for the future.
