Paul Chan Mo-po, the finance secretary of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/exchange-news-hkvax-gets-in-principal-approval-from-hong-kongs-sfc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Hong Kong</a>, has stated his continued belief in blockchain technology, which he predicts will usher in a period of remarkable growth for the digital technology sector. Chan predicted that new forms of Web3-based entertainment will dominate the next generation of digital media in a blog post published on August 27. 
The Finance Secretary stated: 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “The core blockchain technology of Web3, with its characteristics of disintermediation, security, transparency, immutability and low cost, can be applied in many fields such as finance, commerce, trade, supply chain management, and even daily life.” 
</blockquote> 
Chan made these comments after attending the Digital Entertainment Leaders Forum, a <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/blockchain-news-western-union-collaborates-with-ripple-exploring-blockchain-integration/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a>-focused event held at Hong Kong’s Cyberport.
