In a speech at the 2026 Hong Kong Fintech Week, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po stated that the rise of AI agents and their intersection with Web3 will be game-changers, improving transaction efficiency and creating new opportunities. Chan pointed out that Hong Kong will establish an AI Committee and formulate an industry development strategy to address the challenges brought about by technological convergence. Currently, Hong Kong has issued multiple rounds of tokenized green and infrastructure bonds totaling over US$2 billion and is piloting the application of tokenized deposits in money market fund transactions through the Ensemble project. Chan emphasized that Hong Kong will maintain a balanced and forward-looking system to ensure that while promoting tokenization and AI innovation, it maintains human control and regulatory accountability over autonomous decision-making systems.
