According to Odaily, Steve Zeng, Managing Director of Futu Group, stated in an interview that the market reaction was relatively positive on the first day of their cryptocurrency trading service launch. To attract users, Futu plans to offer Bitcoin, as well as Alibaba and Nvidia stocks, to specific users who open accounts and hold assets for a certain period. Futu is also applying for a virtual asset trading platform license through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PantherTrade. According to the SFC website, PantherTrade has been listed as a 'deemed licensed' applicant.
