🚨 Big News for Crypto Adoption! 🚨
Hong Kong’s Insurance Authority has proposed allowing insurers to invest directly in cryptocurrencies for the first time in Asia.
⚠️ The approach remains cautious:
• Direct crypto holdings → 100% risk charge (full capital reserve required)
• Stablecoins → Better treatment, based on their fiat peg, especially if regulated in Hong Kong
💰 Why this matters:
Hong Kong’s insurance sector manages around $82B in assets. Even small allocations could bring significant institutional inflows into crypto.
📅 Public consultation: Feb–Apr 2026
🌏 This move could further position Hong Kong as Asia’s leading crypto hub.
📈 A strong signal for long-term adoption.
Game-changer or just the beginning?
