According to the Daily Planet, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission will take a number of measures to strengthen information dissemination and investor education in response to the recent public concern about unregulated virtual trading platforms. Liang Fengyi, CEO of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, said that the Securities and Futures Commission will publish four lists of virtual asset platforms online, including a list of licensed platforms, a list of closed platforms, a list of platforms deemed to have obtained licenses, and a list of new applicants.
In addition, the SFC will publish a list of suspicious virtual asset trading platforms to help the public be more alert to local unlicensed or suspicious operating platforms. The SFC website will publish the list and consider providing more information on unregulated virtual asset platforms to alert the public as soon as possible.
