香港的证券和期货委员会（SFC）已发布了2025年的第一个加密货币交易许可证。监管机构授予了两个新许可证，自2024年中期以来，总数达到了7个。

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.

香港的证券和期货委员会（SFC）已授予加密货币交易所的两个新许可证，自2024年中以来，总数达到了7个。

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.

监管机构于1月27日宣布已向PantherTrade和Yax颁发了运营许可证，这两者都是总部位于香港的加密货币交易所。根据公共记录，这两个实体均根据反洗钱和反恐融资条例（AMLO）进行了注册，该法令允许他们在该市规范的数字资产市场中运营。

Only 10 Crypto Exchanges Approved in Hong Kong Since 2020

自2020年以来，仅在香港批准的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.

香港一直在逐步扩大其加密交易所的监管框架。自2020年以来，10个虚拟资产交易平台（VATP）已根据AMLO获得许可。但是，许可过程的速度很慢，SFC最初的目的是在2024年底之前批准11个平台。

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

监管机构已经进行了现场检查，以评估遵守客户保护措施，了解您的客户（KYC）程序和网络安全标准。

Hong Kong's Strict Regulatory Approach to Digital Assets

香港严格的数字资产监管方法

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.

多年来，香港对加密货币法规的方法发生了变化。最初，该市缺乏针对数字资产的特定法律框架。随后，美国证券和期货委员会（SFC）将一些加密资产归类为证券和期货条例（SFO），对某些代币和初始硬币产品（ICO）进行监管批准。

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，引入了新的许可要求，要求在香港运营的所有VATP都必须获得SFC许可证。这项措施符合该市为确保市场稳定和投资者保护的广泛努力。

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月在加急许可程序下授予的许可浪潮之后，最新的批准是SFC持续努力规范香港加密货币部门的一部分。当时，SFC批准了四个额外的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.

这些平台获得有条件的许可证，并且必须在提供全面服务之前解决合规性问题。 SFC要求他们接受独立第三方进行的脆弱性评估和渗透测试，以确保遵守安全标准。

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，香港目前仅允许四个加密货币（BTC），Ether（Eth），Ether（Eth），Avalanche（Avax）和Chainlink（link）（链接）进行交易。该措施旨在最大程度地降低风险，同时允许采用有限的加密货币。

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.

据报道，为了进一步增强其加密集线器愿望，香港正在考虑对对冲基金，私募股权公司和家庭办事处的加密货币的投资收益免税。
