​About the Event

​Join the Digital Assets Association (DAA) for an afternoon briefing and discussion on the evolving regulatory landscape for digital assets in Mainland China.

​Recent regulatory developments have significantly reshaped the operating environment for digital asset businesses, financial institutions, intermediaries, and service providers. From Mainland China's latest efforts to define the regulatory perimeter for digital assets and tokenised assets, to increasing cross-border enforcement coordination and heightened scrutiny of onboarding channels and governance frameworks, firms are facing growing expectations around compliance, risk management, and operational controls.

​This session will examine the latest regulatory developments and their practical implications for firms operating across multiple jurisdictions. Discussions will cover Mainland China's evolving regulatory approach, cross-border enforcement priorities, the impact on Hong Kong market participants, and the increasing divergence in compliance expectations across Hong Kong and Singapore.

​Attendees will gain insights into emerging regulatory risks, evolving onboarding and governance standards, and considerations for firms seeking to navigate a rapidly changing regulatory environment while continuing to support innovation and growth within the digital assets ecosystem.
