  • 1confirmation founder: There is a negative correlation between the popularity of the seed round and the success of the project product

    On April 29th, Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, wrote on X that there is a negative correlation between the popularity of seed round projects and their success. Participating in a hot round is indeed exciting: high funding amounts, intense competition, big-name investors, and extensive media coverage. However, rarely does participating in such hot projects before the product-market fit is clear bring truly outstanding results. At 1confirmation, some of the most "popular" projects we have invested in have actually performed the worst.

  • Hong Kong's financial industry may study launching stablecoin trading desks and institutional custody services

    Hong Kong Monetary Authority recently announced the list of participants in the stablecoin issuer sandbox, including JD Coin Chain, Circle Coin Innovation, Standard Chartered Bank, Anni Group, Hong Kong Telecom and other institutions. Research reports released by Zeng Shengjun, a researcher at the Greater Bay Area Financial Research Institute of the Shenzhen Branch of Bank of China, and Guan Zhenqiu, a researcher at the Hong Kong Financial Research Institute of Bank of China, analyzed that the Hong Kong dollar stablecoin can improve the efficiency and inclusiveness of the Hong Kong financial system.

  • Hong Kong Legislative Council Member: The issuance and trading system of tokenized bond-related products can be shared with the mainland

    Hong Kong Legislative Council member Chan Chun-ying stated that the new productivity of Hong Kong's financial industry is currently mainly developed around digital and green themes. Regarding virtual assets, Hong Kong regulatory agencies should establish relevant trading platforms, stablecoin issuances, testing and operational mechanisms, capture digital development trends, and share relevant regulatory experience with the mainland. At the same time, Hong Kong's tokenized bond development is leading the world, and relevant product issuances, trading systems can be shared with the mainland or guide more mainland companies to issue, together meeting international market demand.

  • Hong Kong investment in virtual assets will not be subject to capital gains tax

    Hong Kong investors in virtual assets will not be subject to asset value-added tax, which is a very attractive point for global investors. For example, in Japan and Australia, although they have expanded the virtual asset market earlier than Hong Kong, they still need to pay asset value-added tax, which will be included in the comprehensive tax rate calculation. The comprehensive tax rates in Japan and Australia can be as high as 50% and 40% respectively. For investors, investment returns are of course the most important consideration, and Hong Kong's low tax system will attract more international investors to settle in Hong Kong.
