Odaily Planet Daily News: Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan attended a program today and stated that Hong Kong's economic growth was 3.2% last year. Regarding the development of virtual currency and artificial intelligence, Paul Chan pointed out that virtual currency is part of financial innovation, and Hong Kong should embrace it. However, the confidentiality of blockchain technology may bring risks such as insufficient investor protection, affecting anti-money laundering, and threatening financial stability. He emphasized that the Hong Kong government must handle this carefully and incorporate it into an appropriate regulatory framework. Meanwhile, Paul Chan expressed reservations about comprehensively promoting virtual currency investment to the public, believing that education and publicity should be strengthened.
