请介绍下这两起加密货币被作为投资移民的资产证明的案例

萧耀和:使用加密货币证明资产的客户成功的暂时是两个,第一个案例是在 2024 年 10 月,使用的是比特币(Bitcoin)。这次是第二个成功案例,使用的是以太坊(ETH)。目前在做的还有另外两个。

在投资移民计划中,政府或我们会计师需要提交的报告,证明一个人拥有 3,000 万港币的资产。像比特币或加密货币(Crypto)也可以作为资产,它是被认可的。

所以这个投资移民计划并不要求你必须在香港投资,只要持有价值 3,000 万港元的资产就可以了吗?

萧耀和:这只是第一步。首先,申请人需要证明自己拥有 3,000 万港元的资产,不论这些资产在哪里——无论是在香港、国内,还是非洲、澳洲,都没关系。证明资产无误后,通过第一关,之后你需要将资金带到香港进行投资,而且必须投资指定的资产,简单来说,就是投资上市公司的股票、债券等。你必须要将资金投入香港。

目前这两个客户,一个使用比特币,另一个使用以太坊,第一步的验资已经通过了,证明他们拥有 3,000 万港币的资产。下面第二步是,他们需要在半年内将 3,000 万港币的资金带到香港进行投资。

这个投资只能投股票,而不能投像比特币、以太坊的 ETF 等资产吗?

萧耀和:这个投资移民计划的原意主要是需要投机者投资香港的股票市场、资金市场和债券市场,这是最重要的。如果你想通过其他办法进行投资,比如你说的 ETF,勉强来说是有一点可能性。

因为有一个办法就是,首先你需要将 3,000 万港币投资到一家你自己开设的有限合伙基金(Limited Partnership Fund)公司中。这个公司由你 100% 持有,你可以监管这家公司,但公司内部如何投资并没有明确要求。

这 3,000 万港币是否能去投资香港本地发行的比特币 ETF,还并不确定。假如汇丰银行卖给你这个产品,他们必须在投资推广处注册,并能提供一个能够证明的证明书。如果他们能发证书,那就等于可以投资的产品。

所以投资移民的流程是,首先证明有 3,000 万港币的资产(可使用比特币和以太坊),港府就会给他们发一个两年的签证?

萧耀和:不,还需要在半年以内完成投资,完成后才会发签证,期限是两年,两年之后还要续签。续签的时候需要证明投资还在继续。每一年你都需要会计师出一个报告来证明投资的总额不低于 3,000 万港币,并确保你在投资后没有转让其他投资。不过投资是否亏本没关系。

加密货币资产可以放在冷钱包或币安等大交易所来证明,两种方法都是可行的。

回顾香港政府首次批准加密货币资产的案例

萧耀和:采用加密货币作为资产来申请投资移民的客户,基本上都是来自内地的。其他加密货币相关的投资移民案例应该不多,因为在 2024 年 10 月,我打电话给投资推广处,问他们有没有类似的案例,他们说没有。所以我当时是第一个。

第一个案子是在 2024 年 10 月。他们当时说从来没有处理过类似的案例,跟我说 “没关系,你先做,我们内部讨论”。然后大约一个月后,第一个案例就成功批准了。我这边并没有参与他们的沟通,主要是他们自己内部在讨论这件事。

除了比特币和以太坊,其他币种比如 USDT,香港政府是否会承认?

萧耀和:其实没有官方的回应,没有官方明确的说法,表示承认哪些货币,哪些不承认,都是摸着石头过河。你可以尝试其他货币,只是目前我们提供了两个成功案例。但从我的角度来看,关键是这些加密货币的流通性,以及它们是否有一个非常可靠的市场价值。

不过,也有评论指出,在新加坡,加密货币一直可以作为资产证明,难度是客户拿不出对加密货币初始投资资金的证明。 

AiYing Compliance 文章表示,最大的难关确实是资金来源证明(SOF)。加密货币圈有个经典矛盾——“币拿得出,钱说不清”。  早期玩家“黑历史”多:很多人早年通过挖矿、场外交易甚至“朋友赠送”拿到币,根本拿不出银行流水或交易记录。  交易所“暴雷”拖后腿:像FTX、币安等平台曾出现合规问题,部分用户的历史数据丢失或不被监管认可。匿名性是一把双刃剑:区块链虽然透明,但钱包地址和真人身份很难直接挂钩,会计师和移民局很难追溯资金源头。举个例子:某大户2017年花100万港币买比特币,现在价值1000万港币。但当年的转账记录早就没了,或者用的是现金交易,怎么证明这10万是合法收入?说不清这一点,移民申请直接凉凉。因此建议从第一天就留证据:买币的转账记录、交易所账单、纳税证明,哪怕是一张手写收据,都比没有强。

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
