#数字资产市场动态 $ZBT $ZEC $BCH⚠Attention all crypto practitioners! Big moves in Hong Kong's financial sector — the new capital adequacy rules officially take effect on January 1, 2026!
This reform directly adopts the international standards of the Basel Committee and will be fully implemented within Hong Kong's financial system. In simple terms: if you want to engage in crypto banking business in Hong Kong, your capital requirements will need to increase. Traditional financial institutions aiming to enter the crypto asset market must meet the new standards for reserve sizes — compliance costs will rise accordingly, making it harder for small and medium-sized players.
But from another perspective, this is also a sign of market maturity. The regulatory framework is becoming clearer, the entry barriers for institutional investors are being clarified, and the security of ordinary users' transactions can also be significantly improved. Is Hong Kong seizing this upgrade to truly become a global hub for the Web3 industry? Of course, there will be some growing pains during the transition. Whether liquidity can transition smoothly and how well the market adapts are questions that will need time to answer.
What do you think? Is this round of new regulations a long-term benefit or short-term pressure for the market? Can Hong Kong find a balance between regulation and innovation? Share your views 💬

Laughing and then crying, before 2026, small and medium-sized players will have to get through this wave of "compliance cost hell mode" first.

Wow, the capital adequacy ratio is about to be tightened again, retail investors are feeling the squeeze
---
To be honest, the threshold is getting higher and higher, but does this really attract institutions, or is it just an excuse to cut leeks?
---
If Hong Kong can truly become a hub, that would be great. Right now, everyone is watching Singapore's moves.
---
It won't take effect until 2026, still two years away. By then, the market will have changed again.
---
Rising compliance costs sound good, but in the end, isn't this money just passed on to us retail investors?
---
With Basel standards backing it up, it sounds like a big event, but will the actual liquidity be directly overwhelmed?
