According to PANews, Futu Securities, an internet-based brokerage, has received an upgraded license for its first class regulated activity (securities trading) from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. This allows the firm to offer virtual asset trading services to both professional and retail investors in Hong Kong.
Futu launched a new 'comprehensive account' feature last Saturday (6th), which allows investors to trade investment products in multiple markets such as Hong Kong stocks, US stocks, A-shares, and Japanese stocks through a single account. The company has also announced plans to gradually introduce Singapore stocks, Australian stocks, and Canadian stocks, although no specific timeline has been disclosed.
