Hong Kong Advances RWA Tokenization Plan as Singapore Tightens Crypto Oversight; Ethereum (ETH) Outperformance Signals Potential Altcoin Rally
According to Paul Grewal, Hong Kong is advancing its plan to become a global digital asset hub by establishing a comprehensive regulatory framework and promoting the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), as detailed in a government policy statement. The source notes this includes regularizing tokenized government bonds and clarifying tax treatment for tokenized ETFs to enhance liquidity. In contrast, Singapore's Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is tightening its grip, now requiring digital token service providers serving only foreign clients to be licensed, a move potentially influenced by the collapses of locally-domiciled but operationally-absent firms like Three Arrows Capital and Terraform Labs. For traders, a key market indicator is Ethereum's (ETH) recent strength over Bitcoin (BTC). Charmaine Tam of Hex Trust suggests this outperformance, marked by a rise in ETH dominance and a drop in BTC dominance, signals a capital shift towards altcoins, DeFi, and decentralized AI. Tam further cites over $1.25 billion in inflows into spot ETH ETFs since mid-May as evidence of robust institutional interest, which could provide a solid foundation for a sustained altcoin rally. |
