In addition, the timing is perfect since the collapse of three major US technology banks—Silicon Valley Bank, Silvergate Capital, and Signature Bank—leaves a hole that the lenders are well-positioned to fill.There has never been a convenient banking system for crypto companies. Traditional banks, which adhere to know-your-client (KYC) standards as a matter of course, have been alarmed by its anonymity.Despite this, the consensus is that Hong Kong banks are more receptive to crypto firms now than they were a few years ago. However, this is unlikely to be a game-changing development so long as know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations remain a mainstay in the financial world.
