One accountant in Hong Kong has shared success stories on social media of bitcoin and ether being used as a proof of asset for the program.

Once the visa is approved, the applicant must invest another HK$30 million in what it calls “permissable assets”. A spokesperson for InvestHK confirmed to CoinDesk that cryptocurrency is not considered a permissible asset for this portion of the visa requirements.

Hong Kong currently has 9 licensed crypto exchanges, known locally as virtual asset trading platforms.
