Bullish Group成為香港的第10次許可加密交易所，因為SFC揭幕了新的OTC交易規則

擁有加密新聞網站Coindesk的Bullish Group成為香港的第10次許可交易所。批准是因為香港正在擴大投資者交易虛擬資產的途徑。

Crypto news site CoinDesk’s parent company, Bullish Group, has become the 10th licensed exchange in Hong Kong.

加密新聞網站Coindesk的母公司Bullish Group已成為香港的第10次許可交易所。

The approval comes as the city is expanding the avenues for investors to trade virtual assets, with its financial regulator announcing new licensing rules for over-the-counter (OTC) crypto trading and custody services.

批准是隨著紐約市正在擴大投資者交易虛擬資產的途徑，其金融監管機構宣布了針對非處方（OTC）加密貨幣交易和監護權服務的新許可規則。

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) said Wednesday that the changes are aimed at ensuring market efficiency and enhancing investor protection.

美國證券和期貨委員會（SFC）週三表示，這些變化旨在確保市場效率並提高投資者的保護。

The regulator is also considering derivative trading and margin financing options for virtual assets. The measures were unveiled by SFC CEO Julia Leung at the Consensus Hong Kong 2025 conference, which saw industry leaders discussing the city's role in the crypto sector.

監管機構還考慮了虛擬資產的衍生交易和保證金融資方案。 SFC首席執行官朱莉婭·李（Julia Leung）在香港2025會議上揭示了這些措施，該會議使行業領導人討論了該市在加密貨幣領域的作用。

Hong Kong has been positioning itself as a digital asset trading hub since 2022, a move that followed China’s sweeping ban on cryptocurrency transactions in the mainland. The city has since launched Asia’s first spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and granted nine virtual asset trading platform (VATP) licenses, according to Financial Secretary Paul Chan.

自2022年以來，香港一直將自己定位為數字資產交易中心，此舉是在中國對大陸加密貨幣交易的禁令之後的此舉。據財務部長保羅·陳（Paul Chan）稱，該市已啟動了亞洲的第一名加密交易所交易基金（ETF），並授予了9個虛擬資產交易平台（VATP）許可證。

The government is also advancing stablecoin regulations, with legislation already introduced to support further industry progress. “These initiatives reflect our effort to build a thriving digital asset ecosystem,” Chan said.

政府還正在推進Stablecoin法規，並已經制定了立法來支持進一步的行業進步。 Chan說：“這些舉措反映了我們建立蓬勃發展的數字資產生態系統的努力。”

Hong Kong’s crypto push is being closely watched, with some viewing it as a testbed for Beijing’s approach to virtual assets.

仔細觀察了香港的加密推動力，其中一些將其視為北京的虛擬資產方法的測試床。

IDA CEO Lawrence Chu has described the city’s role as a sandbox for China, offering a controlled environment for digital asset experimentation while acting as a bridge for broader market activity.

艾達（Ida）首席執行官勞倫斯·楚（Lawrence Chu）將紐約市的角色描述為中國的沙箱，為數字資產實驗提供了受控環境，同時充當了更廣泛的市場活動的橋樑。

Hong Kong’s government is also stepping up efforts to attract crypto investors, announcing plans to expand existing tax breaks for privately offered funds and family offices to include crypto investments.

香港政府還正在加大努力吸引加密貨幣投資者，宣布計劃擴大現有的稅收減免，以供私人提供資金和家庭辦事處，以包括加密貨幣投資。

The SFC is currently assessing several more applications and expects a wave of new licensed exchanges in the coming months.

SFC目前正在評估更多的應用程序，並期望在未來幾個月內進行新的許可交易所。

A total of 16 companies are awaiting decisions on their VATP applications, with 11 already operating as “deemed to be licensed,” despite the SFC advising caution against trading with them.

儘管SFC謹慎不要與他們進行交易，共有16家公司正在等待其VATP申請的決定，其中11家已經被視為“被許可”。

The SFC has completed its first round of on-site reviews of these crypto firms. SFC CEO Julia Leung confirmed that all VATPs adhering to the commission’s licensing model can expect their applications to be approved.

SFC已完成對這些加密公司的第一輪現場評論。 SFC首席執行官Julia Leung確認，遵守委員會許可模型的所有VATP都可以期望其申請得到批准。
