Regulatory Compliance and Market Expansion

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission regulates Futu Securities. This regulatory structure assures that the brokerage follows stringent operational integrity and client security guidelines. The company’s move to offer cryptocurrencies came when Hong Kong increased its openness to the crypto industry with the recent approval of spot crypto exchange-traded products.

In addition to its current services, Futu is seeking a license to extend cryptocurrency trading to its subsidiary, Panthertrade. The subsidiary is presently considered licensed, which permits it to offer crypto services while awaiting full regulatory approval.

As Futu Securities continues to expand its service offerings, the broader context of cryptocurrency regulation in Hong Kong remains supportive. The region implemented a new stablecoin regulatory framework in July, following a two-month public comment period that ended in February. Industry players have generally agreed to this framework.Futu's proactive approach to incorporating digital assets in its portfolio strengthens its market position and is consistent with Hong Kong's desire to become a worldwide hub for cryptocurrency trading.
