Hong Kong's New Regulatory Plans

Hong Kong plans to propose regulations for virtual asset traders and custodians by 2026. This step aims to establish an important legal framework in the virtual asset sector.

The proposed regulations aim to create a licensing system within the framework of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws. This will make the sector more organized.

Additionally, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will seek public input to expand its auditing authority over virtual asset advisors and managers. The deadline for comments is set for January 23.
