The Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute (HKSII) is set to train the next generation of licensed crypto traders as the city becomes a confident crypto hub. The HKSII is responsible for training and conducting license exams for brokers and asset managers in Hong Kong, with about 30,000 candidates taking its examinations annually.

The institute plans to run a number of training programs and seminars on virtual assets in the next few months, including webinars exploring topics such as "How Digital Assets can Co-Exist within Traditional Finance's IT Architecture" and "Digital Assets for Portfolio Management." The HKSII is also developing new examination and training programs to support Hong Kong's new licensing regime for virtual asset trading platforms, which was enacted in June.
