证券及期货事务监察委员会(证监会)今天就适用于虚拟资产交易平台营运者的建议规定展开咨询。

根据将于 2023 年 6 月 1 日生效的新发牌制度(注 1 ),所有在香港经营业务或向香港投资者积极进行推广的中央虚拟资产交易平台,将需获证监会发牌。

证监会就虚拟资产交易平台所建议的监管规定乃建基于《证券及期货条例》下现行制度中的监管规定(注 2 ),并与适用于持牌证券经纪商及自动化交易场所的有关规定相若(注 3 )。证监会亦藉此机会,建议对现行制度中的某些规定作出修改。

在是次谘询中,证监会特别就以下事项征询市场意见:应否准许持牌平台营运者向零售投资者提供服务;如准许的话,除了所建议一系列妥善的投资者保障措施(包括在与客户建立业务关系时确保合适性和代币纳入(注 4 )的有关规定)外,还应实行哪些措施。

证监会行政总裁梁凤仪女士表示:“一如我们自 2018 年以来所秉持的理念,本会依照“相同业务、相同风险、相同规则”的原则,就虚拟资产交易平台监管建议多项妥善的投资者保障措施(注 5 )。鉴于环球虚拟资产市场近期动荡不稳,加上部分主要的加密货币交易平台相继倒闭,各地监管机构达致了明确共识,认为需要对虚拟资产领域进行监管,以确保充分保障投资者,并有效管理主要风险。”

计划申领牌照的虚拟资产交易平台(包括原有平台(注 6 ))的营运者应开始检视及修改有关系统及监控措施,为新制度作好准备。至于无意申领牌照的营运者,则应着手预备以有序方式结束其于香港的业务。

证监会拟在其网站上发布数份名单,向公众列出各虚拟资产交易平台的监管状况,并将继续与投资者及理财教育委员会合作,以加强对香港大众的投资者教育工作。

本会欢迎有意者于 2023 年 3 月 31 日或之前,透过证监会网站(www.sfc.hk),或以电邮(VATP-consultation@sfc.hk)、邮寄或传真(( 852) 2293 4004 ),向证监会提交意见。

备注:

根据《 2022 年打击洗钱及恐怖分子资金筹集(修订)条例》,任何人如经营提供虚拟资产服务的业务(即经营虚拟资产交易所)或显示自己经营该业务,便须向证监会申领牌照。

证监会在 2019 年就提供至少一种证券型代币的交易服务的中央虚拟资产交易平台引入了监管框架。请参阅证监会在 2019 年 11 月 6 日发出的《立场书:监管虚拟资产交易平台》。

有关规定涵盖妥善保管资产、认识你的客户、利益冲突、网络保安、会计及审计、风险管理、打击洗钱/恐怖分子资金筹集,以及预防市场失当行为等范畴。

除了有关在与客户建立业务关系时确保合适性和代币纳入的规定外,其他的主要建议关乎代币的尽职审查、管治和披露。

证监会早于 2018 年起已认为,虚拟资产活动所涉及的风险并不限于洗钱,还包括投资者保障方面的隐忧。请参阅证监会在 2018 年 11 月 1 日发出的《有关针对虚拟资产投资组合的管理公司、基金分销商及交易平台营运者的监管框架的声明》。

虚拟资产交易平台营运者如在 2023 年 6 月 1 日前于香港设有具意义且实质的业务,便会被视为“原有”平台。

Analyzing the Impact of AI on Economic Growth and Productivity

**Title: Analyzing AI's Impact on Economic Growth and Productivity** This article examines three contrasting views on AI's influence on economic growth and productivity. **The Optimistic View** posits that AI, especially through automating R&D ("recursive self-improvement"), could dramatically accelerate growth, even triggering a technological "singularity" with explosive, potentially infinite, economic expansion. **The Moderate/Mainstream View** acknowledges AI's productivity benefits but emphasizes significant real-world constraints that could limit its impact. These include: limited cost savings per task, structural ceilings on which jobs and industries are "exposed" to AI, adoption bottlenecks (e.g., compute, energy, regulatory hurdles), and the "weak link" effect where non-automatable tasks cap overall gains. Consequently, the realized AI dividend may be far lower than optimistic projections, with estimates typically ranging from 0.1% to 1.3% annual productivity growth. **The Pessimistic View** stems from two strands. The first aligns with the moderate view but applies extremely conservative assumptions about task exposure and efficiency gains, yielding minimal projected impact. The second introduces a demand-side critique: if AI primarily replaces rather than augments labor, it could depress labor's share of income, weaken consumer demand, and create a "demand trap" that ultimately stifles growth, unless offset by redistribution policies. **The authors' assessment** is nuanced: * **Short-term (1-2 years):** AI will support growth primarily through investment spending, not significant productivity gains. * **Medium-term (3-5 years):** Three potential paths emerge based on AI demand and bottleneck severity: 1. **"Optimistic Path":** High demand, few bottlenecks. Rapid productivity gains but risk of major job displacement and social conflict without redistribution. 2. **"Moderate Path" (most likely):** High demand but significant, surmountable bottlenecks. Leads to moderate productivity gains, financial market volatility (K-shaped returns), and sectoral job losses. 3. **"Pessimistic Path":** Low demand or severe bottlenecks. Minimal productivity and growth impact, triggering financial market corrections but allowing a smoother societal transition with less labor disruption. * **Long-term:** AI holds potential for a major productivity revolution and prosperity. The conclusion stresses that no path is smooth. Technologically "optimistic" outcomes could be socially detrimental, while "pessimistic" technological diffusion might be more socially stable. Policymakers must monitor developments and prepare balanced responses to manage economic, financial, and social sustainability.

The New Cold War is a Tech Stock War

The New Cold War is a Tech Stock War The article argues that the contemporary geopolitical and economic rivalry between the US and China represents a "New Cold War," but one fundamentally fought through technology and financial markets, not physical barriers or conventional trade. Historically, US dominance was secured through financial systems. The Soviet Union, reliant on the rigid "Transferable Ruble," was ultimately undermined by its dependency on the US dollar for oil trade. Later, Japan's semiconductor challenge was countered not just by tariffs (e.g., Plaza Accord, 301 investigations) but by binding it to US Treasury bonds. China presents a more complex, "embedded" challenger. While it holds vast dollar reserves and US debt like Japan, its industrial base is stronger and more diversified than the Soviet Union's. Surviving the initial 2018 trade war phase, the conflict has evolved into a "tech-financial war." The core battlefield is now the stock market. US tech stocks (AI, semiconductors) are treated as sovereign assets, buoyed by bipartisan national will. China is pushing to strengthen its own financial markets to convert industrial strength into financial power and fund its tech ambitions. Companies like ChangXin (semiconductors), Moonshot AI, and DJI compete not just for market share but as financial proxies for their respective systems. The new paradigm is moving from globally efficient monopolies (Apple, Google) towards companies that achieve monopolistic profits within their respective geopolitical spheres. This competition over "pricing power" and financial valuation in segmented markets defines the current era, making the stock market the primary arena for this tech-centric struggle.

RWA Weekly: Ten European Financial Institutions Establish Tokenized Asset Cooperative; Ondo Launches New Execution Network Ondo Network

RWA Weekly: European Banks Form Tokenized Asset Cooperative; Ondo Launches New Execution Network Ondo Network Covering July 24-31, 2026, the RWA sector saw a steady on-chain total value locked (TVL) of $36.8 billion, with holder count hitting a record high. However, stablecoin transfer volumes fell sharply (~30%), indicating low on-chain settlement demand. Key regulatory moves include South Korea advancing stablecoin legislation and a push to scrap crypto taxes, Kenya lowering capital requirements for stablecoin issuers, and Zimbabwe approving seven projects for its crypto sandbox. In project developments, BIS-led Project Agorá successfully tested cross-border payments with tokenized funds across six currencies. Ten major European financial institutions formed the RL1 blockchain cooperative to build tokenized asset infrastructure. Other notable updates: Aviva launched a tokenized dollar liquidity fund on XRPL, POSCO International tokenized commercial invoices on Injective, and a Brazilian farmer used tokenized cattle as collateral for a loan. Additional progress includes BNY Mellon migrating its core transfer agent operations to blockchain, Securitize gaining SEC investment advisor registration, and Tether’s compliant stablecoin USA₮ launching on Celo. Ondo Finance introduced Ondo Network, a new execution layer focused on speed and privacy, moving away from its initial chain plans. An analysis highlights that despite the growing scale of on-chain RWAs (~$32B), approximately 90% remain underutilized in DeFi, pointing to a critical challenge in unlocking liquidity and fostering real-world application beyond mere issuance.
