The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission recently released the "Financial Review of the Securities Industry", disclosing for the first time the virtual asset trading activities in the securities industry, which generated a total of HK$77 million in revenue in the first half of this year.
Ye Zhiheng, executive director of the Intermediary Department of the Securities and Futures Commission, said that Hong Kong's diversified products can meet the needs of local and global investors. As the investment atmosphere improves, licensed institutions have gradually gained a firm foothold in distributing non-exchange traded products, and some are more actively developing virtual asset trading businesses.
