Alessio Quaglini, CEO and Co-founder of Hex Trust, has been appointed as a non-official member of the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Task Force on Promoting Web3 Development.
His two-year term commenced on 1 July 2025.
The Task Force, chaired by the Financial Secretary, was established in July 2023 to advise on the sustainable and responsible development of Web3 in Hong Kong.
It comprises senior government officials, financial regulators, and 20 non-official members drawn from sectors including digital assets, technology, law, academia, and finance.
The Hong Kong Government noted that the Task Force has provided “innovative and practical advice” since its inception.
The appointment of new members follows the release of the “Policy Statement 2.0 on the Development of Digital Assets in Hong Kong,” as the city continues its push to become a global centre for digital assets.
Commenting on his appointment, Quaglini said:
“As a company founded in Hong Kong, Hex Trust has grown alongside the city’s evolving digital asset landscape, and we welcome the government’s commitment to responsible innovation and industry engagement. I’m proud to contribute to this initiative and support Hong Kong’s continued leadership in building a secure, inclusive, and future-ready Web3 ecosystem.”
He added:
“Bridging traditional finance and digital assets requires more than just technology. It demands trust, robust infrastructure, and close collaboration with regulators, principles I will bring to the Task Force as we explore key areas such as tokenisation, stablecoin governance, and institutional market infrastructure.”
Quaglini brings over 15 years of experience across traditional finance, regulation, and digital assets. Under his leadership,
Hex Trust has secured regulatory licenses in jurisdictions including Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and Italy.
He is also a co-founder of Clearpool and Synnax and regularly contributes to policy discussions on the convergence of traditional finance and decentralised technologies.
