Hong Kong Tightens Scrutiny Of Crypto Exchanges

Hong Kong’s securities regulator and police force have formed a task force to enhance industry oversight following the JPEX platform scandal.

Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission and law enforcement officials will collaborate to monitor and investigate illegal activities related to virtual-asset trading platforms.

The move comes amid the fallout from JPEX, which accused an unlicensed crypto platform of defrauding investors of $204 million and arresting at least 20 people. The saga threatens to complicate Hong Kong’s push to develop a global home for the digital-asset industry, which aims to restore its image as a cutting-edge financial center. The task force aims to strengthen Hong Kong’s reputation as a safe and compliant jurisdiction to do business in virtual assets, bolstering confidence in the new regime.
