Hong Kong, China, is swiftly advancing its ambition to become an international hub for virtual asset trading. In a bid to capitalize on emerging business opportunities, expand their reach into global markets, and enhance operational synergy, Chinese securities firms are vigorously integrating virtual asset trading services into their portfolios, thereby fostering business diversification. With Guotai Junan International's recent license upgrade to offer virtual asset trading services, a growing number of Chinese securities firms have secured the requisite licenses. Even those that haven't yet obtained licenses have established dedicated teams, closely monitoring the Hong Kong virtual asset trading market, and actively seeking entry points, setting the stage for future business expansion.
