🚨 Watch out! Hong Kong tightens supervision of crypto exchanges after JPEX case! 😱 A joint team from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and law enforcement was formed to fight illegal activities related to virtual asset trading platforms.
🔍 The case of JPEX, an unlicensed crypto exchange that allegedly defrauded investors out of $204 million, is the main cause. The team will "increase collaboration in monitoring and investigating illegal activities related to virtual asset trading platforms."
🏙️ This is important to maintain Hong Kong's reputation as a safe and compliant regional crypto and fintech hub. Moreover, Hong Kong has just issued a new regulatory framework for crypto assets and granted the first mandatory license for a digital asset trading platform last August.
