According to the Daily Planet, Colin Shaftesley, Chairman of the Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute (HKSII), revealed that the institute will hold a series of training programs and seminars on virtual assets in the coming months. At the same time, two webinars, "How digital assets coexist in the IT architecture of traditional finance" and "Digital assets for portfolio management", have been included in the HKSII calendar.
It is reported that on June 1, the new license system for Hong Kong Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) came into effect. On the same day, HKSII posted in the latest updates on its website that it is working closely with the Examination Committee and the Education and Development Committee. In addition, a virtual asset working group has been established to help develop corresponding CPT plans and exams to support the new licensing system for market practitioners. Details of the upcoming exams and training programs will be announced soon. Many people who apply for the new program in the HKSII plan are interested in the career of cryptocurrency traders.
HKSII is the main licensing body for Hong Kong’s financial services industry. It has close ties with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HKSFC) and is responsible for providing training and licensing examinations for brokers and asset managers in Hong Kong.
