Cryptocurrencies in Hong Kong operate within a unique legal framework. According to Hong Kong law, these digital assets do not qualify as money, nor are they recognized as legal tender.

This means that cryptocurrencies are not backed by the Hong Kong government and do not enjoy the same regulatory protections as traditional currencies.
