As a Brooklyn-born, Singapore-raised technologist who once audited DeFi smart contracts in three decentralized exchanges, I’ve seen how trust is weaponized in crypto. Hong Kong’s new Digital Asset Policy 2.0 isn’t just regulation—it’s a quiet reimagining of financial sovereignty. By tokenizing bonds, exempting ETF taxes, and issuing stablecoin licenses, Hong Kong is turning Web3 from hype into infrastructure. But who really owns these assets? The code doesn’t lie—but the people behind it do.
