Frequently asked questions about Hong Kong blockchain companies
Our company formation experts in Hong Kong answer a number of blockchain-specific questions below. For more information on the applicable laws in Hong Kong, please reach out to us with your questions.
How is blockchain used in Hong Kong?
Hong Kong encourages innovation and has welcomed the use of blockchain. Blockchain can be used across many industries, out of which we can mention banking and finance as the most common one, but also logistics, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, transport, marketing, developer services and even for government purposes.
While this list is not an exhaustive one, investors who open a blockchain company in Hong Kong have multiple options.
What are the key issues related to blockchain technology in HKSAR?
While there is no specific blockchain law that addresses this particular field, the Government and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) in Hong Kong have set forth various policies on the one hand to promote the use of blockchain (as encouraged by the Government) and for the regulation of virtual assets (as part of the SFC’s approach).
Entrepreneurs who wish to set up Hong Kong blockchain companies can discuss these in further detail with a member of our team. We offer complete assistance when you set up a company in Hong Kong.
Are any special licenses needed?
As previously mentioned, there is no specific blockchain law presently applicable in HKSAR. However, investors who wisht to start Hong Kong blockchain companies should know that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has granted virtual banking licenses starting with 2019.
Although virtual banks are subject to the same requirements, the applicable supervisory issues will be adapted in order to meet this new business model.
Steps needed to set up a blockchain company in Hong Kong
Setting up a company in Hong Kong is a straightforward process for which a number of steps are required:
- Choose the type of company: in most cases, as well as for the needs of investors who open a blockchain company in Hong Kong, the commonly used business form will be the private limited liability company;
