“To drive awareness and mass adoption of Web3, we will provide more Web3-related opportunities for exchanges in the future and tighten cross-sectoral ties. Making the local market more in line with the latest trend and development. We will also explore how to strategize Hong Kong’s future digital economy and digital assets development, so as to prepare for and embrace various challenges and opportunities,” Ng added.
