regulation or prohibition, in my opinion in this case is the same, it's just that they choose finer words so that news like this does not become a FUD, regulation alone has a considerable FUD impact, especially if they say "ban", because Hong Kong is wrong one place that has a number of investors and high enthusiasm for crypto
well, don't say a ban is a ban and regulation is an introduction to the legal framework of the state. So better regulation than prohibition.
