TechFlow, September 11 — Anna Liu, CEO of HashKey Tokenisation, attended the 10th Belt and Road Forum as the only invited representative from a digital asset company, delivering a keynote speech.
Anna emphasized that only forward-looking regulatory frameworks can unlock responsible technological innovation, and that law should serve as a bridge connecting digital asset innovation with trust. From a practitioner's perspective, she called for:
First, embedding legal thinking throughout the entire technology development process to ensure compliance from the outset.
Second, translating legal principles into smart contract logic to accurately map on-chain digital ownership to real-world legal rights in RWA applications.
Third, building industry standards and frameworks to strengthen regulators' confidence in innovation through best practices.
Fourth, harmonizing different regulatory requirements to create interoperable legal frameworks that enable innovation and free capital flow.
Anna noted that law provides rules for economic development, and robust rules can unleash tremendous productivity. Hong Kong's Stablecoin Ordinance, set to take effect in August 2025, is an outstanding example of legal practice achieving balance between innovation and compliance.
HashKey Tokenisation will continue to uphold a compliance-driven approach, safeguarding the foundation of trust while exploring responsible industry innovation and advancing Hong Kong's role as a digital asset hub within the Belt and Road Initiative.
