High-net-worth investors seek secure, compliant crypto access, says Chief Trade

ChainCatcher News, at the recently held "Build and Scale in 2026" themed forum in Hong Kong, Eric Chong, Deputy Director of the Research Department at Chief Trade, delivered a speech on the topic of "Connecting Finance and Web3: Building the Next Era of Investor Confidence." He stated that based on Chief Trade's 46 years of experience in financial services, high-net-worth investors have a strong demand for secure and compliant access to crypto assets, which is the core driving force for traditional financial institutions to enter the Web3 field. Eric Chong pointed out that Hong Kong's well-established regulatory framework provides a secure environment for institutional participation in the crypto market, but investors are more concerned with how to participate in this emerging asset class through regulated and compliant channels. To this end, Chief Trade will focus on three key areas: providing regulated crypto trading services, expanding the digital asset product line, and strengthening investor education. He believes that the advantages of traditional financial institutions in financial credibility, compliance frameworks, and ecosystem connectivity will help guide investors to steadily enter the digital asset field, and the integration of Web3 and traditional finance has become an irreversible structural trend.
