On October 30th, Joseph H. L. Chan, JP, Deputy Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Hong Kong, delivered the opening address at the 2024 SmartCon conference organized by Chainlink and said, "Decentralized innovation infrastructure relies on secure oracles to make it work. Last year, I witnessed the enthusiasm of builders and users in the Chinese community, telling myself that Asia and Hong Kong must understand these opportunities from changing communities. And changing communities must also understand the potential that Asia, especially in Hong Kong, has to develop." As a leading international fund center, Hong Kong has a unique advantage in connecting virtual assets with traditional financial instruments. At the same time, it is great to see that Chainlink's vision has promoted cross-chain interoperability protocols, and its CCIP protocol has made significant progress in the application of traditional financial fields. Chainlink is also involved in the latest various technology explorations in the Hong Kong public sector.
