Hong Kong considers liberalizing retail trading of cryptocurrencies

Hong Kong is considering lifting a ban on retail traders trading cryptocurrencies in a bid to develop the city into a digital asset hub. The SFC will start a public consultation on the appropriate extent to which retail investors can trade virtual assets. The SFC also released a policy statement on Monday covering possible regulatory rules for virtual asset exchange-traded funds hosted on the Hong Kong exchange.

These products are subject to stricter regulation.
