Hainan has officially begun closed-loop operations, according to Caixin, signaling a strategic pivot to manage tourism and finance within a controlled environment. The province’s geographic footprint places it near China’s expansive domestic market, reinforcing its status as part of the world’s second-largest economy. Notably, Hainan’s land area outstrips Hong Kong, underscoring its potential to serve as a free-trade hub rather than just a maritime gateway.

In the framework, the Hainan Free Trade Port is designed to complement Hong Kong, with Hong Kong continuing as a global trade center while Hainan functions as a node and hub targeting both domestic and international markets.

Financial experimentation with digital assets such as Bitcoin and stablecoins is described as concentrated in Hong Kong rather than Hainan, reflecting regulatory and market dynamics that diverge between the two jurisdictions.
