Hong Kong wants to become an international centre for virtual assets as the city seeks to bolster its status as a global financial hub following the disruptions caused by the pandemic.

The government will announce its framework for developing virtual assets, such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens, during Hong Kong’s Fintech Week from Oct. 31 to Nov. 4, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said in a blog post on Sunday. The policies will include a regulatory system and trial programs for the assets, Chan said.

Fintech Week has attracted participants from more than 500 organizations and over 200 speakers from China and abroad, Chan said.

Hong Kong has lost its crown as Asia’s top financial centre to long-time rival Singapore, after years of political turmoil and Covid-19 restrictions caused the economy to slow and talent to flee.

The city last month scrapped its hotel quarantine requirements for visitors arriving via the airport, and is considering a package of policies including easing property taxes and visa restrictions to attract workers from mainland China and overseas.

但據近期彭博報導，中國早於去年9月對加密貨幣祭出全面禁令。或遲些有改變？或只可在香港運行？

講到虛擬法，術數學中早已經用上，例如《紫微斗數》星盤上十二宮所分佈的約可有108粿星宿，皆是虛擬星群而並非真實況。在古代六十甲子曆法上所用的干支五行，同樣是虛擬置。故《子平》八字算命所論人命之五行分佈，那五行多寡和强弱，也是虛擬式。而擇日法和八字法所應用的神煞，同樣是用上虛擬法。
