Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission: The list of new applicants only means that they are applying for a license, not that they have been issued a license

Odaily Planet Daily News The Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will publish four lists of virtual asset platforms online, including a list of new applicants. Huang Lexin, director of the financial technology group, said that the list allows investors to know whether trading platforms have made false statements in applying for licenses. He also emphasized that all trading platforms on the list are only applying for licenses and have not been issued licenses. If investors want to trade, they should refer to the list of licensed trading platforms issued by the Securities Regulatory Commission. Huang Lexin also said that there are initially four institutions on the applicant list. CEO Liang Fengyi said that the trading platforms on the applicant list do not mean that they meet all the requirements of the regulatory framework. (RTHK website)
