Currently, two platforms have been licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission, including OSL Exchange and HashKey Exchange. Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission CEO Leung Fung-yee reminded investors that scams are difficult to detect in advance, and they must pay special attention to the high interest earned by depositing virtual asset trading platforms, prevent high interest traps, and stay vigilant. (Hong Kong 101) Earlier news, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission will publish four lists of virtual asset platforms online, including a list of new applicants. Huang Lexin, head of the Financial Technology Group, said that the list is to let investors know whether the trading platform has made false statements in applying for a license, and emphasized that all trading platforms on the list are only applying for a license, not that they have been issued a license. If investors want to trade, they should refer to the list of licensed trading platforms of the Securities and Futures Commission.
