China’s Financial Regulator Ding Xiangqun Meets Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan
The presence of both the HKMA and SFC chiefs alongside the financial secretary signals this was a regulatory-coordination meeting, not a courtesy call, which matters more for market infrastructure than for any single asset. For crypto and RWA participants, Hong Kong's role as the mainland's regulated gateway means the pace of cross-border connectivity work is the variable to track. Whether such high-level engagement translates into concrete mutual market-access measures, or remains a standing dialogue, is the open question.
