The Hong Kong Monetary Authority recently issued a new circular, clarifying that starting from January 1, 2026, Hong Kong banking institutions will fully implement new bank capital regulations based on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's standards for crypto asset regulation. This means that Hong Kong's crypto asset regulatory framework will further align with international standards and introduce new requirements for banks' capital adequacy ratios. This is an important policy signal for financial institutions engaged in crypto asset-related businesses, and they need to prepare in advance for the new compliance standards.

Ah, Hong Kong is tightening again. There's still over a year until 2026, but it's being held up early.

Damn, starting only in 2026? The banks are just delaying; we should have jumped on board long ago.

hmm so basically hk is just playing catch-up with basel standards... the real question is whether this paradigm shift actually democratizes access or just fortifies the gatekeepers, ngl
