Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is moving to strengthen regulatory oversight by proposing amendments to two ordinances targeting the unauthorized use of regulated financial terminology.
According to Odaily, the proposed changes would restrict unauthorized entities from using terms that could mislead the public into believing they are regulated by the SFC or affiliated with licensed exchanges, clearing houses, or virtual asset trading platforms.
⚖️ Key Highlights:
Proposed restrictions on unauthorized use of the term "Crypto."
Restrictions also cover the term "Exchange."
Measures aim to prevent misleading claims of regulatory status or affiliation.
The proposals seek to strengthen investor protection and market integrity.
🇭🇰 What does this mean for crypto?
