Hong Kong virtual asset exchange EX.IO (Thousand Whales Technology (BVI) Limited) has recently obtained approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to officially hold Type 1 (Securities Trading) and Type 7 (Providing Automated Trading Services) licenses. This means that EX.IO will be able to legally operate its virtual asset trading platform in Hong Kong and must comply with the relevant provisions of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (AMLO).
