Victory Securities CEO and President of the Hong Kong Securities Association, Gao Juan, is advocating for an unconventional approach involving Bitcoin to revitalize struggling Hong Kong stock markets amid significant declines.

The securities industry in Hong Kong is in a dilemma, coping with rising regulatory costs and intense competition. During this time, Juan argues that the survival of the industry hinges on Bitcoin emerging as a beacon of hope.
In the recent interview, he suggests that the Hong Kong government should adapt to global financial changes by reducing stamp duties on stocks. Gao Juan also emphasizes that the key to unlocking revenue lies in understanding evolving investor preferences and adapting to them.
Especially in an environment where traditional investments face challenges, he sees high-yield products as an opportunity. The call to reduce stock stamp duties aligns with global practices that encourage a more competitive and attractive trading environment.
