2025.03.12

On March 5, 2025, JunHe was recognized as the Legal Team of the Year (Web3) at the Second Greater Bay Financier Association Institutional Excellence Awards. Jointly presented by the Greater Bay Area Financial Association and China Chengxin Green Finance International, the award recognizes JunHe's professional contributions in virtual assets and blockchain law. It also highlights JunHe's value in providing innovative compliance services in the Greater Bay Area.


JunHe’s Web3 team has driven industry innovation. We have led several landmark projects and successfully established a compliance path for the integration of traditional finance and blockchain technology. The team has represented a major investor in investing in Hashkey, assisted a Hong Kong stablecoin issuer in conducting a Hong Kong Monetary Authority stablecoin sandbox pilot, assisted Harvest in issuing a BTC spot ETF, and assisted Harvest in issuing the first SFC-regulated RWA tokenized fund by a Chinese financial institution in Asia. These efforts have explored the integration boundaries between decentralized technology and traditional financial instruments. Our innovative practice in multi-jurisdictional coordinated regulation and RWA issuance provide solutions that balance security and flexibility.


QIAO, Zheyuan (Jacqueline), a partner at JunHe's Hong Kong office and a core member of JunHe’s Web3 team, is a pioneer in virtual asset legal services due to her expertise spanning financial derivatives and blockchain technology.  In 2023, she was named the "Asia Rising Star Hong Kong" by the Asia Legal Business (ALB) and nominated for the Fintech and Digital Assets Lawyer of the Year at ALM’s 2023 and 2024 Asia Legal Awards, as well as the Fintech Lawyer of the Year at the 2024 ALB Hong Kong Law Awards. Ms. Qiao serves as a legal advisor to the Blockchain Technology Laboratory at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and teaches courses on cryptocurrency regulation and compliance as a guest lecturer at the Faculty of Law at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong.


As the construction of a virtual asset center in the Greater Bay Area accelerates, JunHe participates in regional financial cooperation and leverages its compliance experience to integrate cross-border resources. We promote the coordination of technical standards and regulatory policies, and help the Greater Bay Area integrate into the global digital financial network. JunHe participates in international rule discussions and regional pilot projects to facilitate the connection between technology applications and legal frameworks. We will continue to focus on the synergy between cutting-edge technology and regulation and provide support for the development of digital finance in the Greater Bay Area.

JunHe is the only Chinese law firm to be admitted as a member of Lex Mundi and Multilaw, two international networks of independent law firms. JunHe and selected top law firms in major European and Asian jurisdictions are “best friends.” Through these connections, we provide high quality legal services to clients doing business throughout the world.
As the first carbon neutrality fund sponsored by a law firm in China, the BAF Carbon Neutrality Special Fund was jointly established by JunHe and the Beijing Afforestation Foundation (BAF) to promote carbon neutral initiatives, and encourage social collaboration based on the public fundraising platform to mobilize engagement in public welfare campaigns.
