Hong Kong regulation refers to the legal and supervisory framework governing financial activities and digital assets within Hong Kong. This framework dictates the rules for licensing, compliance, and operational standards for entities dealing with cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets. It aims to balance innovation with investor protection and market integrity. Adherence to these regulations is mandatory for operating within the jurisdiction.
