HashKey Tokenisation CEO Anna Liu: Leveraging Forward-Looking Regulatory Frameworks to Unlock Responsible Digital Asset Innovation

According to official sources, on September 11, HashKey Tokenisation CEO Anna Liu attended the 10th Belt and Road Summit as the sole invited representative from the digital asset sector and delivered a keynote speech. Anna emphasized that only forward-looking regulatory frameworks can unlock responsible technological innovation, and that the law should serve as a bridge connecting digital asset innovation with trust. From a practitioner's perspective, she advocated for the following: 1. Embedding legal thinking throughout the entire process of technology development to ensure compliance from the outset. 2. Translating legal principles into smart contract logic to accurately map on-chain digital ownership with real-world legal rights in RWA applications. 3. Establishing industry standards and frameworks to enhance regulatory confidence in innovation through best practices. 4. Harmonizing diverse regulatory requirements to create interoperable legal frameworks that enable innovation and the free flow of capital. Anna pointed out that laws provide rules for economic development, and well-designed rules can unleash tremendous productivity. The Hong Kong "Stablecoin Ordinance," set to officially take effect in August 2025, represents an exemplary legal practice that strikes a balance between innovation and compliance. HashKey Tokenisation will continue to uphold a compliance-driven approach, safeguard the cornerstone of trust, explore responsible industry innovation, and promote Hong Kong's role as a digital asset hub within the Belt and Road Initiative.
