Mr. Stephen Hui, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, has disclosed that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is contemplating the introduction of virtual asset derivatives trading specifically tailored for professional investors. The SFC intends to devise a robust risk management framework to accompany this initiative. The objective is to bolster product diversity within the Hong Kong market while maintaining an orderly, transparent, and secure trading environment. In response to the latest advancements in the virtual asset market, the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau will shortly release its second policy statement on virtual assets, delineating the future policy roadmap. This encompasses exploring the convergence of traditional financial services with technological innovations in virtual assets, enhancing the security and adaptability of real-economy activities, and fostering the exploration and application of virtual asset technologies by both local and international enterprises.
