Cryptocurrency recognition and acceptance increases every day, and the year 2023 has seen many significant developments in this area. The Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute (HKSII), one of the city’s most important institutions, took a critical step in this direction by deciding to provide cryptocurrency trading education.
Hong Kong is gradually becoming a cryptocurrency hub, marked by many new developments. It is noteworthy that this institution, which aims to nurture next-generation analysts and investors, is offering licensed education. It is known that the institution, where over 30,000 people annually take exams, provides a lot of high-level education for brokers and asset managers.
Hong Kong Begins Cryptocurrency Classes
HKSII President Colin Shaftesley has stated that they will provide educational programs on cryptocurrency trading in the next few months. HKSII’s event calendar also seems to include multiple cryptocurrency-focused webinars, such as “How Digital Assets Can Coexist with Traditional Finance” and “Digital Assets for Portfolio Management”.
It is also stated on the institution’s separate web page that cryptocurrencies are included in the new licensing program decided in June. The inclusion of cryptocurrencies in the new program demonstrates the city’s and administrators’ positive outlook on cryptocurrencies. Educational institutions must obtain permission from regional administrators for each lesson they will give.
Asia Embraces Cryptocurrencies
HKSII is one of the critical members of the city’s financial service sector and was formerly a member of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HKSFC). The school’s critical membership underlines the importance of the newly introduced education.
In addition to this, China has also pressed the button in the cryptocurrency sector, and it can be said that there is a significant cryptocurrency movement in Asia in general.
