Hong Kong Fintech accelerates breakthrough: Is a new high ground for Web3 expected? Opportunities and challenges coexist!

Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee released a significant signal at Fintech Week 2025: over 1,200 fintech companies are gathering, with a revenue target of $600 billion by 2032 and an annual growth rate exceeding 28%. Coupled with relaxed capital access, tokenization exploration, and upgraded regulatory sandboxes, this "acceleration" of fintech is steadily advancing Hong Kong towards becoming a new global highland for Web3 and fintech.

For investors, the opportunities under the policy dividends are clear: regulatory sandboxes safeguard the application of cutting-edge technologies, relaxed capital access attracts global funding, the linkage between the Web3 ecosystem and cross-border markets (such as real-time remittance between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, tokenization of carbon credits) gives rise to quality investment tracks like RWA and cross-border payments, while low tax policies further reduce the uncertainty of corporate profits.

For entrepreneurs, Hong Kong's "super connector" advantage is irreplaceable - it connects the vast market demand of the mainland and links to emerging markets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The industry cluster formed by over 270 blockchain companies in Cyberport can quickly achieve resource synergy. However, challenges cannot be ignored: technical interoperability bottlenecks, high compliance costs across multiple departments, global talent competition, and competition from regions like Singapore are all hurdles to overcome.

Hong Kong is continuously making strides in the fintech sector driven by policy, based on ecology, and supported by cross-border initiatives. As long as we continue to tackle key issues such as technological collaboration, regulatory alignment, and talent cultivation, the goal of becoming a global hub for Web3 and fintech is not beyond reach.
