Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong urged the US Congress to act quickly, or else it will lose ground to rival jurisdictions, including Hong Kong.
According to unverified information from the NoodleofBinance Twitter account, Hong Kong citizens will be allowed to buy, sell and trade crypto from June 1, 2023.
America risks losing it’s status as a financial hub long term, with no clear regs on crypto, and a hostile environment from regulators.
Congress should act soon to pass clear legislation. Crypto is open to everyone in the world and others are leading. The EU, the UK, and now HK. https://t.co/i9WeUZ7K6H

Accordingly, the current rules will take effect for professional investors – individuals with a minimum portfolio of HK$8 million ($1.02 million).
NoodleofBinance considers this a “bullish event” because there will be a huge flow of money from the East and it is only a matter of time before building a stablecoin based on the Hong Kong dollar.
Although the truth of this rumor is unknown, but it was shared by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. In response to the above tweet, Armstrong called on US officials to either speed up crypto regulation or lose ground to the UK, Europe and even now Hong Kong. He said:
“America risks losing its status as a long-term financial center if it does not quickly establish a crypto regulatory framework.”

China 🇨🇳 has taken a big step towards cryptocurrency regulation with the implementation of a tax on crypto transactions. This signals the country’s increasing embrace of cryptocurrencies.

On the other hand, the recent layer-1 Conflux platform continuously shake hands with Chinese companies and CFX token prices react strongly after each partnership agreement announcement. This also partly reflects the influence of the Chinese market on crypto projects.
