Leading digital asset platform OSL bolstering Hong Kong’s digital asset ecosystem
(Hong Kong, 14 August 2024) – The premier Web3 industry summit “Foresight2024”, headlined by Foresight News, Foresight Venture and The Block, concluded successfully on 12 August after two days of events at the Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel. As the title sponsor, OSL Group (863.HK), Hong Kong’s only publicly listed company fully dedicated to digital assets, championed this event to foster innovation and collaboration in Hong Kong’s burgeoning digital asset market.
The summit featured a high-profile panel discussion – “The Ripple Effect: How ETFs are Reshaping the Cryptocurrency Landscape”, and an exclusive fireside chat with The Block. Gary Tiu, OSL’s Executive Director and Head of Regulatory Affairs, alongside industry leaders, provided insights into the regulatory landscapes of Hong Kong and the US. Notably, panellists highlighted Hong Kong’s streamlined four-month approval process for spot ETF products, compared to the US’s typical eight-month timeline.
Tiu emphasised, “Hong Kong’s spot digital asset ETFs not only offer investors a secure entry but a crucial groundwork for future market expansion. As it evolves, we’re seeing increased opportunities for more market players. Our goal is to foster robust partnerships across the banking sector, integrating diverse expertise into this dynamic ecosystem.”
