Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Chief Executive Officer Nancy Chan stated that artificial intelligence (AI) and RMB internationalization are the “twin engines” driving economic growth and serve as key forces propelling Hong Kong’s financial markets into the next phase of development. Hong Kong should unlock AI’s potential through responsible innovation and strengthen AI governance. As generative AI rapidly evolves into agentic AI, regulators should further front-load human accountability into system design. The HK SFC is considering issuing additional guidance to assist institutions in implementing existing regulatory principles within agentic AI systems. This is not intended to prescribe technical design details, but rather to clarify the regulatory outcomes the SFC expects to achieve: clearly delineating responsibilities and ensuring effective human oversight; establishing controlled access permissions and defined usage scopes; conducting rigorous testing prior to deployment followed by continuous monitoring; ensuring operational resilience; and promptly reporting issues and taking corrective measures when problems arise. Additionally, the HK SFC will continue its digital transformation efforts, including shortening licensing processing times and enabling earlier detection of misconduct and fraudulent activities.

Odaily News – Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett stated that the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) has adjusted its position on the CLARITY Act from opposition to neutral, becoming the last major police organization to change its stance among those that previously opposed the bill. Terrett noted that as recently as July 31, the NSA had called the bill "harmful" and strongly criticized the BRCA's provisions protecting non-custodial software developers. This shift likely reflects extensive behind-the-scenes communication between the White House and the organization over the past few months. While the NSA's move to neutral does not constitute formal support for the bill, it is widely seen as clearing yet another hurdle on its path to the Senate procedural vote on September 15.Terrett added that the National District Attorneys Association and the National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys are still expected to hold their positions, with both demanding a significant narrowing of the BRCA's protections for non-custodial software developers. However, the White House, the Treasury Department, some members of Congress, and the crypto industry are all unwilling to accept such changes. Additionally, Democratic Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, who previously supported the prosecutors' proposed amendments, has not yet publicly changed her stance.
