The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professional Association also suggested that the region’s authorities could implement Islamic Banking.
The suggestion that Hong Kong could make an initial coin offering (ICO) appeared in a list of propositions formulated by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professional Association to revitalize Hong Kong’s economy.
The document, signed by association president Chen Zhihua, was published on Nov.
The suggestions include the legal recognition of Islamic finance and inviting stakeholders from the Islamic world to set up a committee to formulate “Islamic finance guidelines with Hong Kong characteristics.” The 10th point of the list contains only the following line without any details:
“Consider launching an initial coin offering (ICO) mechanism.”
As there is no further explanation, it is unclear whether the association suggests crafting a comprehensive framework for ICOs or creating an authorized platform.
The era of ICOs is widely seen as ending in 2020 due to regulatory pressure and the entrance of institutional investors into the crypto market. The capitalization of ICOs plummeted 95% from its boom year in 2018 to 2019.
