Additionally, 70% of these firms were asked to have shareholders or directors visit Hong Kong multiple times, 60% had to maintain fixed deposits, and 54% took more than six months to open an account. Nearly 20% took between two and five months, while 3% were outright rejected. Read more: Hong Kong legislator Johnny Ng advocates for Bitcoin, web3 development
