Hong Kong is reportedly considering the possibility of allowing spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in addition to the futures-based crypto ETFs currently allowed. The CEO of Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission, Julia Leung, stated that the city-state welcomes proposals using innovative technology that boost efficiency and customer experience, as long as new risks are addressed. This move comes as Hong Kong aims to become a leading digital asset hub, with the rollout of a virtual assets regulatory framework earlier this year. Reports also suggest that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has pushed for banks in the city-state to offer their services to licensed crypto exchanges.

FASB's fair value accounting standard for Bitcoin officially takes effect today
On December 16th, according to The Bitcoin Historian, an editor at Bitcoin Magazine, the fair value accounting standards for Bitcoin by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) officially took effect. Previously, companies could only measure their held Bitcoin assets by historical cost and could not reflect their market value growth. The new standard allows companies to use fair value measurement methods to more accurately reflect the actual value of their Bitcoin assets, which will reduce accounting barriers for companies to include Bitcoin on their balance sheets. MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor previously stated that FASB has officially passed fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin, which will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This improvement will encourage companies to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset. -
