Hong Kong's 2025 Financial News Highlights Digital Economy and Cryptocurrency

According to ChainCatcher, Hong Kong Wen Wei Po has released its list of the 'Top Ten Financial News of Hong Kong 2025.' Among the highlights, the development of a regulatory framework for digital economy and virtual assets ranked third, while the surge in cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin reaching a new high of $125,600, was eighth. Other notable financial news includes DeepSeek helping MPF investors earn over 40,000 HKD, the global success of Labubu as a new consumer stock, and an upward revision of Hong Kong's annual GDP growth forecast due to economic acceleration. Analysts have noted that this year has been a significant one for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. U.S. President Donald Trump has openly supported Bitcoin, contributing to its strong rally at the beginning of the year, with multiple record highs. However, Bitcoin has since retreated, dropping to around $85,000, marking a decline of over 30% from its peak.
