HKVAC is a Hong Kong virtual asset rating agency. With the support of influential figures, HKVAC aims to provide a comprehensive representation of virtual assets in Hong Kong. However, there has been some skepticism in the Hong Kong community about the index’s benchmark due to the inclusion of platform tokens, privacy tokens, and numerous tokens classified as securities by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/">SEC</a>). 
In 2022, Hong Kong announced its desire to become a global crypto hub. The authorities have also begun to develop and integrate their stablecoin into their economy, primarily aimed at improving the payment experience in various industries and businesses. In parallel, the government is committed to strengthening the training of specialists for the Web3 industry.
