Hong Kong Seeks Input On OTC Crypto Trading Rules

Hong Kong is launching a consultation on regulating over-the-counter (OTC) crypto trading, aiming to establish a licensing framework for virtual asset OTC services.

Operators must obtain licenses and comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing rules.

The Commissioner of Customers and Excise will enforce the regime, while Virtual Asset Trading Platforms (VATPs) are exempt.

The government aims to create a transparent regulatory environment for the sustainable development of VA and Web3.

Written comments on the consultation will be accepted until April 12. as a global financial hub, looking to tap into growing industry interest and investment.
