Bitcoin Breaks $100K: A New Era Begins
In his keynote remarks, David Bailey emphasized that Bitcoin surpassing $100,000 per coin represents more than just a price milestone — it signals Bitcoin’s full entry into the mainstream financial world. Despite historical volatility, Bitcoin has demonstrated remarkable resilience and long-term growth potential, particularly with rising institutional adoption and technological maturity.
Bailey also highlighted Asia’s growing influence in the crypto space, noting that China and surrounding regions have incubated numerous pioneering blockchain enterprises. He expressed optimism about future collaboration between the U.S. and China, envisioning a new financial architecture built on digital assets and decentralized infrastructure.
"Bitcoin is no longer a fringe experiment," Bailey stated. "It's becoming a foundational asset class — and events like Bitcoin Asia are essential to guiding its responsible evolution."
Hong Kong’s Strategic Push for Web3 Leadership
Dr. Ng Lap Seng underscored the significance of hosting Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong following its successful runs in the U.S. and the Middle East. As a globally recognized financial center, Hong Kong is uniquely positioned to drive dialogue between traditional finance and emerging digital asset markets.
Looking ahead, Dr. Ng announced plans to initiate a U.S.-Hong Kong Crypto Asset Summit Dialogue during the upcoming Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas in May 2025. This initiative aims to foster high-level discussions on regulatory frameworks, cross-border investment, and technological interoperability.
Additionally, he revealed that the Legislative Council will introduce the Stablecoin Bill for first reading on December 18, a critical step toward establishing clear legal guidelines for digital assets in Hong Kong. The proposed legislation focuses on enhancing investor protection while encouraging innovation.
Dr. Ng also outlined key regulatory advancements under development:
- Strengthening oversight of over-the-counter (OTC) virtual asset trading services
- Introducing a licensing regime for virtual asset custody providers
- Supporting the formal recognition and operation of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) in Hong Kong
These measures aim to create a secure yet flexible environment that attracts global Web3 companies and talent.
