The forum highlighted Hong Kong’s emergence as a global Web3 hub.

RigSec’s Perspective: Compliance and Custody in the New Web3 Era

RigSec CEO Sarah Ye joined leaders from MetaEra, HashKey Eco Labs, China Asset Management (Hong Kong) Limited, and Hong Kong Cyberport in the roundtable discussion, “Hong Kong’s Path to Compliance and Innovation as Asia-Pacific’s Web3 Hub,” analyzed the integration of digital assets and traditional finance in Hong Kong, with a particular focus on the increased acceptance among traditional financial institutions and the improvement of supporting infrastructure.

Sarah shared RigSec’s expertise on the evolving regulatory landscape and practical challenges in digital asset custody, particularly:

- Compliance-Driven Custody: RigSec’s rigorous approach to meeting regulatory requirements in the Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) license application, emphasizing the importance of secure, transparent, and compliant client asset custody.
