Hong Kong restricted retail investors from trading high-risk crypto assets deemed too "complex" for them. The government claims they are protecting naive traders from risky speculation. But traders smell an authoritarian power-grab aimed at controlling financial freedom. But telling traders what they can't have will only make them want it more… Some traders may push back hard as risky assets get driven underground.

Singapore's court is pioneering the use of NFTs to track hacked crypto funds. Attaching unique NFTs to compromised wallets can alert exchanges when stolen assets move. While the tracking tokens don't stop transactions, they enable following the money flows. However, just as bots have cracked captchas over time, hackers will eventually find ways to remove or evade the NFT tracking tags. Singapore authorities will need to continually adapt their tracking strategies to stay one step ahead in this perpetual game of cat and mouse.
More details on how the country will implement this strategy!
