Hong Kong, June 26, 2025 – The Hong Kong SAR Government today released the “Policy Statement on Development of Virtual Assets in Hong Kong 2.0” (“Policy Statement 2.0”), introducing the “LEAP” framework and presenting a clear roadmap for establishing Hong Kong as a leading global digital asset hub.
As the first licensed and publicly listed digital asset financial services group in Hong Kong, OSL has already partnered with over half of the city’s licensed brokers and top-tier institutions. The company remains committed to playing a pivotal role in fostering the healthy development of Hong Kong’s digital asset market.
In alignment with the city’s strategic vision, OSL announced the full upgrade of its institutional trading infrastructure with the launch of the Turnkey Omnibus Pro Unified Trading Solution—a one-stop, fully integrated platform designed to meet the evolving needs of professional market participants.
OSL Backs Policy Statement, Reaffirms Confidence in Hong Kong’s Digital Asset Future
Mr. Kevin Cui, CEO of OSL Group, stated: "The shift in terminology from ‘virtual assets’ to ‘digital assets’ signifies a new era of maturity for the industry—one that has emerged through years of transformation and perseverance. We are witnessing a global financial revolution driven by tokenization, fundamentally reshaping the efficiency of financial transactions and payments. Hong Kong now possesses both the capability and the confidence to lead this transformation. OSL will continue to align with the ‘LEAP’ framework by strengthening our products and services, and by upholding the substance and strength of Hong Kong as an international financial centre."
The Policy Statement 2.0 introduces the "LEAP" framework, which focuses on four key pillars: legal and regulatory enhancements, the expansion of tokenized product offerings, the promotion of real-world applications and cross-sector collaboration, and the development of talent and strategic partnerships. This framework sets a clear direction for the future growth of Hong Kong’s digital asset market.
Leveraging its industry-leading strengths in compliance, technology, and institutional services, OSL is committed to fully supporting and implementing the objectives outlined in the policy. The company will continue to deliver secure, efficient, and diversified digital asset solutions to the market.
