Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 5 — Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Chief Executive Carrie Lam delivered a keynote speech at the EU-Asia Financial Services Dialogue during the 2026 Asian Securities and Financial Markets Association. She stated that Hong Kong must thoroughly upgrade its market infrastructure, especially in the areas of financial product segmentation, clearing, and settlement. The development of distributed ledger technology and tokenization offers a solution. The true value of tokenization lies in its programmable nature, supporting a wide range of investment products, including bonds, funds, and even gold. As the tokenization ecosystem continues to grow, it is essential to effectively integrate related innovative projects, seamlessly combining market confidence in traditional finance with the efficiency of decentralized finance to further unlock liquidity.

Carrie Lam also revealed that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has jointly led a working group under the Asia-Pacific Committee with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission to combat online scams. They are also exchanging intelligence with global peers to participate in standard-setting and coordination efforts in the fields of digital assets.
