Bitcoin Asia kicked off in Hong Kong on Thursday, as Hong Kong strives to balance its goal of becoming a crypto hub while pushing forward a regulatory regime to mitigate financial risks.
In its second edition, the conference featured experts who said that Hong Kong could become a hub for shaping the global digital asset regulatory landscape.
Two points were brought up: using asset treasury holdings for a broader ecosystem for cryptocurrency and global regulatory leadership to coordinate and shape the crypto landscape.
The Bitcoin Asia conference, taking place in Hong Kong on August 28 and 29, features US President Donald Trump’s son Eric as a headline speaker. It issued more than 17,000 tickets on Thursday, almost three times last year’s attendance of 6,000, according to the organisers.
Abel Seow, head of APAC and Managing Director of BitGo, said that he believes “digital asset treasures mark the start of integrating traditional finance with crypto”.
