BTCCSquare news:

Hong Kong's monetary authority is poised to ease capital requirements for banks dealing in cryptocurrencies, signaling a progressive shift in regulatory stance. The HKMA's draft policy, CRP-1, aligns with Basel standards while offering leeway for assets on unauthorized blockchains—provided issuers enforce robust risk controls.

This MOVE follows a consultation period with local banks, aiming to finalize rules by 2026. The adjustment could significantly lower capital burdens for institutions holding crypto, fostering greater participation in digital asset markets.
