6 hours of unfiltered truth, centered on one question: "Why HK over Singapore?" The discussion covered HK's strengths (financial depth, legal system, location), where it still falls short (compliance costs, licensing, banking access), and concrete asks to government: tiered regulation, an innovation sandbox, lighter licensing, and a clear path for digital asset trusts (DAT).
Duncan set this as the first consultation for Hong Kong's first-ever 5-Year Web3 Plan (2027–2032), reaching the Chief Executive's Office by end of June.
In his words:
"I hope to submit these recommendations and have them included in Hong Kong's first-ever 5-Year Plan — shaping the city's Web3 direction for the next five years."
