Members of the Hong Kong Legislative Council: Applications for virtual asset exchange licenses are active, and the salary of the person in charge of the ATS license has increased

Odaily Planet Daily News After Hong Kong regulators established a virtual asset regulatory framework, the industry is actively applying for virtual asset licenses. Li Weihong, a member of the Legislative Council, said that due to the short supply of the market, the salary of the responsible officer (RO) of the No. 7 license (ATS, automatic trading system) has risen. According to his understanding, the normal monthly salary of holders of relevant licenses is usually around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, and some people are still looking for jobs. He suggested that in order to effectively alleviate the situation, it is suggested to allow No. 7 licensees to operate jointly with industry experts, and at the same time strengthen training to meet the industry's manpower needs in the field of virtual asset development. However, some industry participants believe that although many securities firms plan to apply for licenses, the number of those who are really qualified to implement them is expected to be limited, and the existing human resources may meet the needs of the industry in the next one to two years.
