Bibox reported that the “friendly” licensing regime makes Hong Kong a worthy destination to set up a new base, something his firm is now strongly considering. Australia-based crypto exchange Independent Reserve is looking at opportunities to set up shop in Hong Kong as the city continues efforts to become a cryptocurrency hub. Set to take effect in June, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) released a proposed licensing regime for cryptocurrency exchanges on Feb. 20 in line with its ambitions to become Asia’s next crypto hub. “Right now, it is looking very interesting [...] The recent announcement by the regulators in Hong Kong does make Hong Kong look like a friendly jurisdiction.” “We see Hong Kong as a good opportunity for Independent Reserve, and we’re always looking at new areas in Asia where we can expand our business,” he added. CEO Adrian Przelozny pictured in center with chief operating officer Lasanka Perera (left) and chief technology officer Roman Stefanidi (right). Source: Independent Reserve Under the new licensing regime, Hong Kong-based crypto companies must comply with various measures relating to the safe custody of assets, such as Anti-Money Laundering, Know Your Customer, counter-financing of terrorism countermeasures, and conflict of interest disclosures and audits. Przelozny said his team is visiting Hong Kong next week to meet with banks, regulators, lawyers and compliance experts to determine if the location suits the company. Commenting on the region’s political relationship with China, Przelozny believes China is testing how a more relaxed cryptocurrency regime looks in Hong Kong. If successful, he believes China may follow suit: “The Chinese government is using Hong Kong as a testnet to experiment with a looser cryptocurrency regime to see what impact that has on the business landscape there. If they see it as a positive thing, then I think there’s a chance they'll roll it out through China and loosen their existing restrictions.” Similar remarks were made by Tron CEO Justin Sun in a December 2022 interview on Bloomberg. He believes that China is using Hong Kong as an “experiment base” to make a final decision on its policy stance.

Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has seen a constant decline in exchange supply over the past six months post-Merge. The Ethereum network underwent a major upgrade in September 2022, moving from a proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network in an event called the Merge. According to on-chain data shared by crypto analytics firm Santiment, the amount of available ETH sitting on exchanges continues to fall. Since the Merge, there is 37% less ETH on exchanges. A constant decline in supply on exchanges is considered a bullish sign, as there is less ETH available to trade or sell. There was a total of 19.12 million ETH, worth $31.3 billion, on exchanges in September before the Merge. The number has now declined to 13.36 million ETH, worth $19.7 billion, in the second week of February. A major chunk of the ETH supply is being moved into self-custody, while many traders also prefer staking with the Shanghai upgrade just around the corner. Shanghai, Ethereum’s upcoming update, is scheduled for March. The Shanghai hard fork will integrate more improvement proposals for network enhancements and allow stakers and validators to withdraw their holdings from the Beacon Chain. Currently, 16 million ETH, or 14% of the total supply, is staked on the Beacon Chain, amounting to approximately $25 billion at current prices — a sizable amount that will gradually become liquid after the Shanghai hard fork. Apart from a constant decline in ETH supply held on exchanges, ETH’s overall market supply has also declined since it turned deflationary post-London upgrade. The deflationary model comes from a fee-burning mechanism introduced through Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)-1559. A total of 2.9 million ETH has been burned since the London upgrade in August 2021, estimated to be worth $4.5 billion in today’s value.

Indonesia’s Ministry of Trade is reportedly aiming to roll out a national crypto exchange by June this year, six months after its previous target of December 2022. Trade Minister Zulkifli Hasan shared the new target launch date on Feb. 2 at the opening of Crypto Literacy Month in Jakarta, noting that the government is currently reviewing which companies meet their criteria to become part of the exchange, according to local reports. There are five active crypto exchanges that are currently registered with the country’s regulators, and according to Zulkifli, the ministry’s crypto exchange could encompass all of them. While these exchanges are currently facilitating all trades within the nation, the ministry’s exchange would act as a clearing house and custodian in the local crypto market. A clearing house is essentially a mediator between a buyer and seller, ensuring the transaction goes smoothly. At the same time, its role as a custodian would see it manage the movement of assets between the two parties. The trade minister urged the public to be patient with the national crypto exchange, saying: “Let us not rush because if it is not ready, things will get messy. The government does not want this to massively take a toll on the public because people do not know much [about crypto trading].” As previously reported by Cointelegraph, Indonesia had planned to set up its crypto exchange by the end of 2022, but it was delayed due to a number of obstacles. Crypto assets in the country are currently traded alongside commodity contracts and supervised by the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency — also known as Bappebti — but the regulatory power will shift to the Financial Services Authority following the creation of a national exchange. The regulatory shift comes in response to new crypto regulations ratified on Dec. 15, which recognize crypto and other digital assets as regulated financial securities. On Dec. 5, Bank of Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo announced that a central bank digital currency it was planning to launch would be the only digital legal tender in the nation.

2022 proved to be a fruitful year for Ethereum Name Service, with the platform recording 2.2 million registered domains despite unfavorable market conditions for the cryptocurrency space. According to Bibox, over 80% of the total ENS domains created since the project’s inception were registered in 2022. Data from Dune Analytics shows that ENS has around 2.82 million names registered as of Jan. 2, with 630,340 owners of ENS domains. As Bibox previously reported, ENS allows users to map human-readable names like “nick.eth” to machine-readable information like cryptocurrency addresses and URLs. The service has been driven by users adopting ENS names for decentralized profiles that work across decentralized applications and platforms. ENS domains serve as Ethereum wallet addresses, cryptographic hashes or website URLs and are effectively nonfungible tokens (NFTs). The growing popularity of the service saw a number of partnerships with major exchange operators like Coinbase come to the fore. The American exchange announced the integration of ENS in September 2022, giving users the ability to replace traditional Coinbase cryptocurrency wallet addresses with language-based usernames. While default ENS domains end with .eth, Coinbase’s integration of the service allows users to claim “name.cb.id” usernames using the Coinbase Wallet browser extension. Coinbase’s adoption of the ENS service was driven by the utility of human-readable names in making Web3 more user-friendly. Bibox data shows that September saw the largest number of ENS registrations created in 2022, with 437,000 domains registered. The data suggests that the exchange’s ENS integration significantly impacted new sign-ups in 2022. May 2022 was also a bumper month for the service, with low gas fees on the Ethereum network playing a role in a surge of .eth domain registrations.

According to Bibox observation, the new legislation will bring a licensing regime for the virtual asset service providers requiring them to pass strict AML and money laundering guidelines. Hong Kong’s legislative council has passed a new amendment to its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and terrorist financing system to include virtual asset service providers. The latest legislation will establish a new licensing regime for virtual asset service providers, set to come into effect from June 1, 2023. The new amendment will subject crypto exchange service providers to the same legislation as followed by traditional financial institutions. It means virtual exchanges looking to open a business in Hong Kong will have to go through rigorous AML guidelines and investor protection laws before being granted a license of operation. Unlike most other regulators around the globe, Hong Kong has used the FTX collapse as a way to mitigate regulatory risks associated with centralized exchanges. In the aftermath of the FTX crypto exchange collapse, regulators from around the world have faced public ire for their failure to protect retail investors. There has been a growing demand to bring crypto exchanges and service providers under the purview of law and subject them to strict AML and investor protection requirements. In a recent conference, Hong Kong Monetary Authority chief executive Eddie Yue hinted at possible investor protection regulations coming soon to the nation. The recent legislation amendment has propelled the nation to become the first mover on the pressing issue of investor protection. Hong Kong has been actively working toward establishing a well-thought regulatory groundwork for the nascent crypto market. A policy proposing a regulatory framework and risk-based regulatory direction was published by the Hong Kong government in October under the title ‘Policy Declaration on the Development of Virtual Assets”. The government has suggested a number of pilot projects to evaluate and improve the technologies underlying virtual assets.
