If Hong Kong can establish the digital Hong Kong dollar as a legally anchored digital currency in the Web3 world, the business opportunities will be immeasurable.

In terms of technical implementation, the digital Hong Kong dollar may initially be issued on a private or consortium blockchain, but ultimately it needs to be issued on a full blockchain to improve circulation efficiency. The issuance process does not require large-scale modifications to existing systems, and a small team can support its operation. In terms of security, due to the endorsement of authoritative banks, hacker addresses can be quickly locked, reducing the risk of theft.
