Caixin: RWA based on Hong Kong assets are not under the jurisdiction of Chinese regulatory authorities

Foresight News reports that, according to Caixin, following the joint issuance by the People’s Bank of China and seven other departments of the “Notice on Further Preventing and Disposing of Risks Related to Virtual Currencies” (referred to as Document No. 42), the regulatory framework for RWA (Real-World Asset) issuance abroad by domestic assets has begun to take shape. The overall tone of Document No. 42 emphasizes strict prohibition domestically and strict regulation abroad of RWA. According to regulatory insiders familiar with the matter, Hong Kong is one of the offshore RWA issuance locations. RWA based on assets from Hong Kong is not within the scope of regulation under Document No. 42 and is not under the jurisdiction of domestic regulators. Currently, there are no underlying assets based on domestic securities or funds in offshore RWA in Hong Kong or other locations. If there are, they fall under the responsibility of the China Securities Regulatory Commission’s Institutional Department. Additionally, it was previously “completely prohibited.” Now, “it is not said to be completely prohibited,” but there is strict regulation of domestic assets’ outbound RWA. There is no “encouragement” involved here; it should not be interpreted as “promoting development.”

Federal Reserve initiates the end of the crypto de-banking review period, "Throat Lock Action 2.0" may迎来 policy turning point

February 24 News, the U.S. Federal Reserve has officially advanced a regulatory proposal to end the "debanking" of the crypto industry and has opened a 60-day public comment period on related banking regulatory rules. This move is seen as an important signal of a shift in U.S. financial regulatory policy, and the crypto industry generally believes it could weaken the long-standing banking service restrictions that have troubled digital asset companies. According to official statements, the proposed rules aim to remove "reputational risk" as a core basis for banks to review clients from the regulatory framework, instead focusing on "material financial risk." Regulators have previously instructed banking authorities not to require financial institutions to close customer accounts solely based on reputational concerns, which means that legitimate crypto businesses may receive clearer institutional protections when opening bank accounts and accessing financial services.
