Hong Kong on Its Way to Becoming a Global Crypto Hub

🔷 Andrew Vranes, CEO of Blockdaemon, believes that Hong Kong regulators may approve staking for spot Ethereum ETFs later this year. This would mark another step for the region in its development as a global cryptocurrency hub.

🔷 Despite the initial hype surrounding spot Ethereum ETFs in Hong Kong, their performance has been rather modest. However, this is not surprising, as the Hong Kong market is considered relatively small.

🔷 Last week, the Federal Reserve held a meeting and, as a result, lowered the refinancing rate by 50 basis points. The cryptocurrency market responded with a sharp surge. Bitcoin confidently stabilized above $60,000, and then rose to $62,000.
