PANews, December 22, reported by Bloomberg, states that the Hong Kong Insurance Authority is drafting new regulations aimed at guiding insurance funds towards encryption assets and local infrastructure projects. The draft proposes applying a 100% risk weight to encryption assets, while stablecoins will be assessed for risk weight based on the fiat they are pegged to. The relevant draft will be publicly consulted from February to April 2026, and will subsequently be submitted to the legislative process.
