Hong Kong's virtual asset and related businesses are facing sudden changes in compliance requirements. According to Chan Chi-wah, president of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association, applicants for virtual asset license upgrades and existing responsible personnel (ROs) are required to take a virtual asset regulatory exam administered by a single organization. This exam is bundled with the organization's courses, course materials cannot be easily reviewed, and registration and technical support are confusing. It is understood that this requirement was not announced through official documents or public guidelines, but rather verbally or via individual emails, lacking transparency and fairness. This increases compliance costs for practitioners, impacts business development, and the absence of a public consultation mechanism means policy-making lacks frontline feedback. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professionals Association recommends maintaining the existing additional 5 hours of Continuing Professional Training (CPT) and urges regulators to immediately suspend the use of implicit policies to enforce the exam requirement, establish a transparent consultation mechanism, and incorporate stakeholder opinions into policy-making to ensure feasibility and market fairness.

Bitcoin's potential for significant growth could be influenced by the valuation of artificial intelligence stocks, according to macroeconomist Lyn Alden. According to Cointelegraph, Alden discussed this possibility during a conversation with Natalie Brunell on the Coin Stories podcast, suggesting that if AI stocks become excessively overvalued, investors might shift their capital to other assets, including Bitcoin. Alden noted that when an asset's price reaches a level where further gains are difficult to justify, investors often seek opportunities with greater potential for upside. With Bitcoin currently down nearly 46% from its October all-time high of $126,100, Alden believes it could benefit from such a capital rotation. The discussion also touched on the performance of AI stocks, particularly Nvidia, which is considered a key player in the AI sector. Jason Ware, chief investment officer at Albion Financial Group, expressed skepticism about whether the largest AI stocks can maintain their momentum into 2026. He highlighted Nvidia's significant role in the AI build-out but questioned if its growth could continue to support further stock price increases. Nvidia's stock has risen 35.48% over the past year, and Ware described it as possibly the most important company and stock in the U.S. market. The growing interest in AI has created a competitive environment for Bitcoin, as noted by Bitcoin developer Mark Carallo, who stated that Bitcoin is now "competing for capital" in a way it hasn't before. Despite these challenges, Alden emphasized that Bitcoin doesn't require a substantial influx of capital to experience growth. She explained that a marginal increase in demand could drive Bitcoin higher, as long-term holders provide a stable foundation while short-term traders exit. Alden remarked that Bitcoin's price dynamics involve coins transitioning from speculative hands to those of committed holders, who are unlikely to sell unless prices rise significantly. At the time of publication, Bitcoin is trading at $67,849, down 24.49% over the past 30 days, according to CoinMarketCap. Alden does not anticipate a rapid surge in Bitcoin's price, noting that Bitcoin typically doesn't form V-shaped bottoms outside of events like COVID stimulus. Instead, she expects a gradual movement, potentially dropping $10,000 or $20,000 lower, as Bitcoin remains in a "grinding" phase.
