SFC licenses and supervises applicable virtual asset trading platform operators.

Regulatory overview

Hong Kong’s SFC licensing framework covers centralized virtual asset trading platform operators conducting applicable business in Hong Kong or actively marketing to Hong Kong investors. The official directory separates formally licensed operators from applicants.

Authorized activity categories

These are activities within the regime, not permissions held by every registered entity. The individual authorization controls the permitted scope.

  • Trading platform
  • Exchange

What this does not establish

An application or deemed-to-be-licensed status is not a formal SFC licence. Check the operator’s CE reference and licence conditions in the SFC Public Register. A VATP licence is not permission for every financial activity or a guarantee of creditworthiness.

Application requirements

A detailed application checklist has not been independently recorded in this release. Use the official licensing materials below; fees, timelines and eligibility are not inferred.

Reviewed legal-entity records
