BTCCSquare news:

Hong Kong's Insurance Authority is tightening capital requirements for cryptocurrency exposures, mandating a 100% risk weight on insurers' crypto assets. The move, outlined in a December 4 draft framework, aims to reshape balance sheet strategies as the territory positions itself as a crypto hub ahead of 2026.

Stablecoins receive differentiated treatment—those regulated in Hong Kong will inherit the risk weighting of their underlying fiat currencies. This bifurcated approach reflects regulators' attempt to balance innovation with financial stability concerns.

The policy emerges as Hong Kong accelerates its crypto infrastructure development, with observers noting the rules could divert institutional capital toward state-backed blockchain initiatives.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
