The Hong Kong government is considering categorizing virtual assets such as Bitcoin as investment immigration assets.

According to BlockBeats news on November 13th, the Hong Kong government is reportedly considering accepting virtual assets such as Bitcoin on licensed virtual asset trading platforms as an eligible investment project, after restarting its investment immigration program. This measure aims to expand the asset scope of investment immigration and attract more high net worth individuals to settle in Hong Kong. Despite calls to include real estate investments in the eligibility scope, the government remains neutral and emphasizes that real estate investments are not included. This move is expected to enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness in the global wealth management field and attract more attention from family offices and asset management institutions.
