Nano Labs founder: The withdrawal of VASP license application by leading exchanges is not a good thing for the development of Web3 in Hong Kong

Jack Kong, founder of Nano Labs, director of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, and member of the third-generation Internet development team in Hong Kong, stated in a post on X platform that major exchanges have withdrawn their VASP (Virtual Asset Trading Platform) license applications from Hong Kong. This will not have a significant impact on these exchanges, but it is not good for the development of Web3 in Hong Kong. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has already followed the trend, and Hong Kong regulatory agencies must keep up. Otherwise, the difficulty of developing Web3 in Hong Kong will greatly increase. Of course, we still firmly believe in Hong Kong and will continue to express policies that are beneficial to Hong Kong's development.
