This is the first time such products have been launched in the Asian market. These two types of products are designed to provide investment returns anchored to the spot prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum. This major move has once again attracted attention to the "Hong Kong concept". At the beginning of this year, CFX, the leader of the "Hong Kong concept", rose from US$0.19 to US$0.52 in two months. Other tokens in this sector are not inferior, and most of them have a 2-3 times increase.
The "Hong Kong concept" originated from Hong Kong's decision to implement the licensing system for virtual asset services in June at the beginning of last year. At that time, "Crypto will revalue around Hong Kong's return to the ranks of Asian crypto centers" once became a new market direction. As long as the business and team are developed in Hong Kong, or the project development direction is consistent with Hong Kong's promotion of cryptocurrency (such as asset tokenization, compliance, etc.), all projects are included in this concept, covering CeFi, DeFi, games/metaverse, infrastructure and other fields.
At that time, Conflux Network, as the leading public chain in the government cooperation sector, announced a cooperation with China Telecom. Since then, CFX has continuously resonated with China Telecom in A shares. CFX has increased by 4 times in five days, and China Telecom (taking over the AI computing power concept) has hit the daily limit twice in three trading days.
From the occurrence of large-scale industry gatherings of tens of thousands of people, to the dynamics of the top crypto companies announcing their layout in Hong Kong, to the irregular rise of Hong Kong concept coins, the importance of "Hong Kong" to the industry and its long-term impact on the development of global Web3 regulation are self-evident. Can Hong Kong concept tokens continue to rise? Below BlockBeats will briefly introduce the logically clear targets in the Hong Kong concept sector.
