轻松的加密货币规则吸引了私人银行经理到香港

香港特殊行政区政府敏捷采用加密货币法规的帮助，重新品种的加密货币百万富翁

Anew breed of cryptocurrency millionaires, helped by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government’s agile adoption of cryptocurrency regulations, is attracting overseas private banking managers to the global financial hub despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, according to Brian Ah-Chuen, a seasoned Mauritius-based banking director.

经验丰富的银行缘政治紧张局势尽管持续的地缘政治紧张局势持续，但香港特殊行政区政府敏捷采用加密货币法规的敏捷品种，正在吸引海外私人银行经理到全球金融枢纽。

Ah-Chuen, managing director of ABC Banking Corp, which provides global commercial banking services, plans to expand the company’s private banking services in the SAR, targeting high-net-worth individuals with assets exceeding $1 million.

提供全球商业银行服务的ABC银行公司董事总经理Ah-Chuen计划将公司的私人银行服务扩展到SAR中，目标是资产超过100万美元的高净值个人。

The bank aims to transform its Hong Kong representative office by deploying wealth management professionals. The move follows Hong Kong’s groundbreaking decision to accept cryptocurrencies as proof of wealth for immigration applications under the New Capital Investment Entrant Scheme.

该银行旨在通过部署财富管理专业人员来改变其香港代表办公室。此举是在香港决定接受加密货币作为新资本投资参赛计划中移民申请的财富证明的决策决定之后。

“The potential inflow of new wealth has been a boon to the asset management sector, which has seen astonishing growth in recent years,” said Ah-Chuen.

Ah-Chuen说：“新财富的潜在流入一直是资产管理部门的福音，近年来增长令人惊讶。”

A report by KPMG and The Private Wealth Management Association shows a turning point in 2023, with assets under management in Hong Kong reaching HK$9,022 billion ($1161 billion) — an almost threefold rise over the previous year.

毕马威（KPMG）和私人财富管理协会的一份报告显示，2023年的转折点，香港的资产管理为90.2亿港元（1,161亿美元），比上一年近三倍。

Hong Kong’s revamped Capital Investment Entrant Scheme (CIES) now accepts Bitcoin and Ether as legitimate proof of the required HK$30-million net worth for investment visas, according to the city’s investment promotion department, InvestHK.

根据该市投资促进部的数据，香港改建的资本投资参赛计划（CIES）现在接受比特币和以太作为合法的证明，证明了投资签证所需的3,000万港元净资产。

The surge in crypto millionaires has posed fresh challenges for risk-averse banks, which typically avoid direct exposure to digital assets. To bridge the gap, financial institutions are forming partnerships with licensed crypto custodians and auditors to verify digital wealth holdings. ABC Banking has teamed up with fintech provider Payment Asia Group to create a verification process for asset holdings.

加密百万富翁的激增对规避风险的银行提出了新的挑战，这些银行通常避免直接接触数字资产。为了弥合差距，金融机构正在与有执照的加密保管人和审计师建立合作伙伴关系，以验证数字财富持股。 ABC银行公司已与Fintech提供商Assia Group合作，为资产持有创建验证过程。

The emerging trend aligns with Hong Kong’s broader ambitions to become a global digital asset hub. The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in February unveiled a crypto blueprint outlining the regulatory priorities for new regulations on virtual asset custodians. It expanded over-the-counter services, strengthened trading platform requirements, and implemented initiatives to combat illicit activities, while boosting investor education.

新兴趋势与香港更广泛的野心相吻合，成为全球数字资产中心。 2月，美国证券和期货委员会（SFC）揭开了一个加密蓝图，概述了针对虚拟资产保管人的新法规的监管优先事项。它扩大了非处方服务，加强了交易平台的要求，并实施了倡议，以打击非法活动，同时促进投资者教育。

The SFC is also developing a framework to enable professional investors to trade virtual asset derivatives and access new token listings.

SFC还正在开发一个框架，以使专业投资者能够交易虚拟资产衍生产品并访问新的令牌清单。

According to Chainalysis’ Global Crypto Adoption Index, Hong Kong has emerged as East Asia’s fastest-growing crypto market, recording an 85.6 percent year-over-year growth and securing the 30th global spot.

根据Chainalysis的全球加密采用指数，香港已成为东亚增长最快的加密货币市场，记录了同比增长的85.6％，并确保了第30位全球位置。

Gateway to growth

通往增长的门户

Ah-Chuen said Hong Kong remains a safe haven for investment despite setbacks like the COVID-19 pandemic and United States trade sanctions.

Ah-Chuen说，尽管诸如Covid-19-19大流行和美国贸易制裁之类的挫折，但香港仍然是投资的避风港。

“When you fall, you must find new paths to growth,” he said. “I've seen InvestHK's aggressive promotion of various programs, particularly in family offices and investment frameworks. These initiatives have drawn talent and capital from around the world.”

他说：“当你跌倒时，你必须找到新的增长途径。” “我已经看到Investhk对各种计划的积极促进，尤其是在家庭办事处和投资框架中。这些举措吸引了来自世界各地的人才和资本。”

The city's initiatives to attract investment are showing signs of success. Official data show that since its relaunch in March 2024, the CIES has received more than 880 applications as of February.

该市吸引投资的举措表现出成功的迹象。官方数据显示，自2024年3月重新启动以来，CIES已收到了2月的880多个申请。

The Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises, which began operations in late 2022, has attracted 66 enterprises to Hong Kong by February, covering sectors such as life and health technology, artificial intelligence and data science, financial technology, advanced manufacturing, and new energy technology.

在2022年底开始运营的吸引战略企业办公室已在2月之前吸引了66家企业到香港，涵盖了生活和健康技术，人工智能和数据科学，金融技术，高级制造和新能源技术等领域。

“Hong Kong's track record as an international financial center remains unmatched,” said Ah-Chuen. “With global wealth continuing to grow, the city is drawing on its deep experience in international markets.”

Ah-Chuen说：“香港作为国际金融中心的往绩仍然无与伦比。” “随着全球财富的增长，这座城市正在借鉴其在国际市场上的深刻经验。”

He pointed to Hong Kong's sophisticated banking infrastructure and diverse investment services as key advantages. “The presence of major international banks, combined with the city's efficient operations and comprehensive offerings for family offices, creates compelling opportunities for our banking products' global diversification.”

他指出，香港的复杂银行基础设施和多样化的投资服务是关键的优势。 “主要国际银行的存在，再加上该市的高效运营和为家庭办事处提供的全面产品，为我们的银行产品的全球多元化创造了令人信服的机会。”

The banker highlighted Hong Kong's strategic position as a gateway to the Chinese mainland. “The mainland's economic influence is undeniable, and Hong Kong's connection to this powerhouse makes it an essential player in global business.”

银行家强调了香港作为通往中国大陆的门户的战略地位。 “大陆的经济影响是不可否认的，香港与这一强大的联系使其成为全球业务中必不可少的球员。”

The relationship between China and Mauritius adds another layer to ABC Banking's expansion strategy. Their diplomatic ties, dating back to the 1970s, were strengthened by a landmark free trade agreement which entered into force in January 2021 — China's first with an African nation.

中国与毛里求斯之间的关系为ABC银行的扩张策略增加了另一层。他们的外交联系可以追溯到1970年代，这是一项具有里程碑意义的自由贸易协定的加强，该协议于2021年1月生效，这是中国与非洲国家的第一个。

Mauritius, an island nation of 1.26 million people off Africa's southeast coast, has evolved into a diversified economy to which financial services contribute 40 percent of gross domestic product, along with tourism, manufacturing, fisheries and information technology.

毛里求斯（Mauritius）是一个在非洲东南海岸附近有126万人的岛屿国家，已经发展成为多元化的经济，金融服务以及旅游，制造业，渔业和信息技术占国内生产总值的40％。

Trade between the two countries has steadily strengthened in recent years, with Mauritius importing $993 million in goods from China in 2023 while exporting goods valued at $26.3 million to the country that year.

近年来，两国之间的贸易稳步增强，毛里求斯于2023年从中国进口了9.93亿美元的商品，同时向当年的该国出口了价值2630万美元的商品。

Ah-Chuen sees enormous opportunities for future cooperation in their bilateral relations. “We are building on decades of goodwill

Ah-Chuen看到了双边关系中未来合作的巨大机会。 “我们正在建立数十年的善意
