BTCCSquare news:

Hong Kong's insurance regulator has unveiled a proposal that WOULD permit insurers to allocate capital to cryptocurrencies and infrastructure projects. The move marks a significant expansion of permitted investments for the sector, aligning with the city's ambition to become a digital finance hub.

The Hong Kong Insurance Authority plans to impose a 100% risk charge on crypto assets under the new framework. Stablecoin investments would face risk charges based on the fiat currency they're pegged to. The proposal is currently undergoing industry consultation before expected implementation in 2024.

This development follows the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's (HKMA) plans to approve its first batch of stablecoins early next year. The insurance sector currently manages approximately HK$635 billion ($105 billion) in assets.

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.
