Hong Kong could be a ‘tailwind’ for lagging crypto activity in Asia: Chainalysis By Cointelegraph

[ad_1]



Recent crypto advancements in Hong Kong could provide a “potential tailwind” to lift crypto activity in the East Asian region, which has mainly suffered from a China-wide ban on trading activities since 2019.

Cryptocurrency value received in East Asia amounted to just 8.8% of the world between July 2022 and June 2023, according to an Oct. 2 report from Chainalysis, making it the fifth most active crypto market. However, Chainalysis said Hong Kong’s recent moves could help increase this number.
