The U.S. White House is set to host its first-ever cryptocurrency summit, with the concept of virtual currency gaining significant market attention. (Related concepts included)

President of the United States Donald Trump is reportedly set to host the first White House cryptocurrency summit on March 7, where industry leaders will discuss regulatory policies, stablecoin regulation, and the potential role of Bitcoin in the US financial system.

Trump previously stated that he intended to make cryptocurrency policy a national priority and make the US the global center of blockchain innovation. The upcoming summit may set the tone for cryptocurrency regulation over the next four years.

In February this year, the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Authority (SRA) formulated a new roadmap to promote Hong Kong as a global virtual asset center.

The SRA released its newly formulated "ASPIRe" roadmap, which outlines 12 key measures under five pillars to enhance the safety, innovation, and growth of Hong Kong's virtual asset market.

A previous research report by Pacific Securities noted that the overseas cryptocurrency market is dominated by Bitcoin, with a large market size but relatively slow development of sovereign currencies. Liquidity, valuation, and other issues have led to stricter regulations, and the expansion of application scenarios faces challenges.

The approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States and Hong Kong has increased investment options and improved trading convenience.
