According to BlockBeats, on November 1, the official website of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission updated the application information for the virtual asset trading platform license, showing that Nebulas Exchange had submitted an application for a virtual asset trading platform license to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission on October 25, 2024. The submitted virtual asset trading platform operator company name is "Nebulas Hong Kong Limited" and there is no Chinese name yet.
As of now, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission has announced that there are 15 applicants for virtual asset trading platform licenses. According to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance, a total of 11 platforms including HKbitEX, PantherTrade, Accumulus, DFX Labs, Bixin.com, xWhale, YAX, Bullish, Crypto.com, WhaleFin, and Matrixport HK have been listed as licensed.
The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission reminds that all virtual asset trading platform applicants listed in this list have not been officially licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission and may not comply with the requirements of the Securities and Futures Commission. Please note that the SFC has not officially issued a license to virtual asset trading platform applicants who are deemed to be "licensed". The purpose of this list is to help the public determine whether a virtual asset trading platform has made false or misleading statements about its application for a license from the Securities and Futures Commission. Before a platform applicant deemed to be licensed has been satisfied with the actual implementation and effectiveness of its policies, procedures, systems and control measures and is officially licensed, the SFC does not expect the platform to actively promote its services or interact with the platform.
