香港發行2025年第一個加密貨幣許可證

香港的證券和期貨委員會（SFC）已發布了2025年的第一個加密貨幣交易許可證。監管機構授予了兩個新許可證，自2024年中期以來，總數達到了7個。

The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong has granted two new licenses to cryptocurrency exchanges, bringing the total to seven since mid-2024.

香港的證券和期貨委員會（SFC）已授予加密貨幣交易所的兩個新許可證，自2024年中以來，總數達到了7個。

The regulator announced on Jan. 27 that it has issued operational licenses to PantherTrade and YAX, both of which are Hong Kong-based crypto exchanges. According to public records, both entities have been registered under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (AMLO), which permits them to operate within the city’s regulated digital asset market.

監管機構於1月27日宣布已向PantherTrade和Yax頒發了運營許可證，這兩者都是總部位於香港的加密貨幣交易所。根據公共記錄，這兩個實體均根據反洗錢和反恐融資條例（AMLO）進行了註冊，該法令允許他們在該市規範的數字資產市場中運營。

Only 10 Crypto Exchanges Approved in Hong Kong Since 2020

自2020年以來，僅在香港批准的10次加密交易所

Hong Kong has been gradually expanding its regulatory framework for crypto exchanges. Since 2020, 10 virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs) have received licenses under AMLO. However, the licensing process has been slow, with the SFC initially aiming to approve 11 platforms by the end of 2024.

香港一直在逐步擴大其加密交易所的監管框架。自2020年以來，10個虛擬資產交易平台（VATP）已根據AMLO獲得許可。但是，許可過程的速度很慢，SFC最初的目的是在2024年底之前批准11個平台。

The regulator has conducted on-site inspections to evaluate compliance with customer protection measures, Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, and cybersecurity standards.

監管機構已經進行了現場檢查，以評估遵守客戶保護措施，了解您的客戶（KYC）程序和網絡安全標準。

Hong Kong's Strict Regulatory Approach to Digital Assets

香港嚴格的數字資產監管方法

Over the years, Hong Kong's approach to cryptocurrency regulation has shifted. Initially, the city lacked a specific legal framework for digital assets. Subsequently, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) classified some crypto assets as securities under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (SFO), subjecting certain tokens and initial coin offerings (ICOs) to regulatory approval.

多年來，香港對加密貨幣法規的方法發生了變化。最初，該市缺乏針對數字資產的特定法律框架。隨後，美國證券和期貨委員會（SFC）將一些加密資產歸類為證券和期貨條例（SFO），對某些代幣和初始硬幣產品（ICO）進行監管批准。

In June 2023, a new licensing requirement was introduced, mandating that all VATPs operating in Hong Kong must obtain an SFC license. This measure aligns with the city's broader efforts to ensure market stability and investor protection.

在2023年6月，引入了新的許可要求，要求在香港運營的所有VATP都必須獲得SFC許可證。這項措施符合該市為確保市場穩定和投資者保護的廣泛努力。

Following a wave of licenses granted in December 2024 under an expedited licensing process, the latest approvals come as part of the SFC's ongoing efforts to regulate the crypto sector in Hong Kong. At the time, the SFC approved four additional VATPs, including:

在2024年12月在加急許可程序下授予的許可浪潮之後，最新的批准是SFC持續努力規範香港加密貨幣部門的一部分。當時，SFC批准了四個額外的vatps，包括：

These platforms received conditional licenses and must address compliance issues before offering full services. The SFC requires them to undergo vulnerability assessments and penetration testing conducted by an independent third party to ensure adherence to security standards.

這些平台獲得有條件的許可證，並且必須在提供全面服務之前解決合規性問題。 SFC要求他們接受獨立第三方進行的脆弱性評估和滲透測試，以確保遵守安全標準。

Crypto Trading Restrictions in Hong Kong

香港的加密交易限制

It's worth noting that Hong Kong currently only permits the trading of four cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Avalanche (AVAX), and Chainlink (LINK) — within its regulatory framework. This measure is intended to minimize risks while allowing for limited crypto adoption.

值得注意的是，香港目前僅允許四個加密貨幣（BTC），Ether（Eth），Ether（Eth），Avalanche（Avax）和Chainlink（link）（鏈接）進行交易。該措施旨在最大程度地降低風險，同時允許採用有限的加密貨幣。

To further bolster its crypto hub aspirations, Hong Kong is reportedly considering tax exemptions on investment gains from cryptocurrencies for hedge funds, private equity firms, and family offices.

據報導，為了進一步增強其加密集線器願望，香港正在考慮對對沖基金，私募股權公司和家庭辦事處的加密貨幣的投資收益免稅。
