According to Odaily, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has released its quarterly report, highlighting substantial growth in the region's ETF market. The report indicates a 34% year-on-year increase in the total market value of ETFs, with a net capital inflow of HKD 6.3 billion during the quarter. Additionally, assets managed by funds registered in Hong Kong rose by 29.5% year-on-year to HKD 1.67 trillion, with a net inflow of approximately HKD 34 billion recorded in the same period. The number of licensed asset management companies increased by 24% year-on-year, while the number of open-ended fund companies surged by 132.6%. The SFC also noted a rise in license applications from institutions and individuals, with year-on-year increases of 56% and 23%, respectively. The commission is currently reviewing license applications from 15 virtual asset trading platforms, with 11 considered likely to receive licenses. It is anticipated that several of these platforms will be licensed within the year through an expedited process. Since the launch of Asia's first virtual asset spot ETFs in April, listed in Hong Kong, their market value has increased by over 70%, and the average daily trading volume has doubled by the end of November. In August, the Ensemble project sandbox was officially launched. Concurrently, the SFC, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), is spearheading tokenization initiatives to establish and expand the tokenization market in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the SFC is conducting on-site inspections of several virtual asset trading platforms considered for licensing, focusing on their client asset protection measures, 'know your customer' processes, and cybersecurity requirements. During the quarter, the SFC added ten entities to its list of suspicious virtual asset trading platforms, warning the public about potential fraud and unlicensed activities related to virtual assets, as well as a suspicious investment product.

According to Odaily, the Kyrgyzstan Parliament has approved a draft law in its first reading, establishing the framework and legal status for the digital som. Once fully implemented, the digital som will serve as the national currency of Kyrgyzstan and be recognized as legal tender throughout the country. The National Bank of Kyrgyzstan will oversee its issuance, accounting, and distribution through a centralized platform, granting the country's central bank exclusive rights to issue this currency. The prototype testing of the digital som is scheduled to begin in early 2025, with full integration into the country's financial ecosystem expected by January 2027. This development marks a significant step towards modernizing Kyrgyzstan's monetary system and aligning it with global trends in digital currencies. The introduction of the digital som aims to enhance the efficiency and security of financial transactions within the nation, providing a robust framework for future economic growth and stability.

According to Odaily, early Bitcoin investor Roger Ver, also known as 'Bitcoin Jesus,' has expressed concerns that collaborative actions by U.S. intelligence agencies and institutional participants have undermined the initial hope for Bitcoin as an alternative to fiat currency. In a recent interview, Ver alleged that these agencies deliberately sabotaged Bitcoin's potential as a widespread peer-to-peer (P2P) payment method. He claimed that they manipulated online forums like bitcointalk.org and the Bitcoin subreddit r/bitcoin through censorship and propaganda, steering them away from their decentralized origins. Ver highlighted that moderators linked to U.S. intelligence agencies attempted to suppress discussions about expanding Bitcoin's global usage, instead pushing it towards becoming a speculative asset. According to Ver, this was a coordinated effort aimed at controlling and limiting Bitcoin's potential to disrupt the traditional financial system. He argued that Bitcoin does not represent economic freedom, especially when held on centralized exchanges (CEX), which offer less privacy than traditional banks. When questioned about whether he believes Bitcoin was created by U.S. intelligence agencies, Ver stated that while Bitcoin may not have been initially designed this way, it has been 'hijacked' by these agencies and turned into a 'financial trap.' He cited El Salvador as an example, noting that despite widespread enthusiasm for Bitcoin, it is primarily used through custodial accounts. This allows the government to monitor every transaction and freeze accounts at will. 'This is the opposite of economic freedom. It is government control over the economy,' Ver remarked.

比特币早期投资者 Roger Ver（又称“比特币耶稣”）表示，美国情报部门和机构参与者的联合行动破坏了人们对比特币作为法定货币替代品的早期希望。 Ver 近日在接受采访时表示，美国情报机构故意破坏比特币作为广泛点对点（P2P）支付方式的潜力。他们通过审查和宣传操纵 bitcointalk。org 和比特币子版块 r/bitcoin 等在线论坛，使其远离去中心化的起源。他指出，与美国情报机构有关的版主试图压制有关扩大比特币在全球范围内使用的讨论，将其推向投机资产。据 Ver 称，这是一项协调一致的努力，旨在控制和限制比特币破坏传统金融体系的潜力。 Ver 认为，比特币并不代表经济自由，尤其是当比特币在 CEX 持有时，这比传统银行提供的隐私性还要差。当被问及是否相信比特币是美国情报机构的创造时，Ver 称，虽然比特币最初可能不是这样设计的，但它被这些机构“劫持”并变成了“金融陷阱”。 他以萨尔瓦多为例，指出尽管人们对比特币普遍热情高涨，但主要使用托管账户。这意味着政府可以监控每笔交易并随意冻结账户。“这与经济自由完全相悖。这是政府对经济的控制，”Ver 说道。

吉尔吉斯斯坦议会在一读中批准了一项法律草案，确立了围绕数字索姆的框架和法律地位。一旦全面实施，数字索姆将作为吉尔吉斯斯坦的国家货币，并在全国范围内被认可为法定货币。吉尔吉斯斯坦国家银行将通过一个集中平台监督其发行、会计和分配，授予该国央行发行此货币的独家权利。 数字索姆的原型测试计划于 2025 年初开始，预计到 2027 年 1 月将完全融入该国的金融生态系统。（Trend）
