Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) believes Hong Kong could rival the U.S. and UAE as a global crypto hub, but its future depends on regulatory speed. He praised Hong Kong’s proactive stance on Web3 technologies and capacity for rapid policy adjustments. CZ recommended expanding the list of cryptocurrencies allowed on licensed exchanges beyond Bitcoin, Ether, Avalanche, and Chainlink, similar to Japan’s model where exchanges decide which tokens can be traded. Hong Kong aims to attract global crypto firms while minimizing financial risks through clear, efficient regulations. CZ’s comments highlight the city’s potential if reforms are implemented swiftly.
