Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission: The non-violation period for operating virtual asset trading platforms in Hong Kong will end on June 1

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has issued a statement on the end of the non-violation period for virtual asset trading platforms. The SFC reminds the public that the non-violation period applicable to virtual asset trading platforms operating in Hong Kong under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615) (the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance) will end on June 1, 2024.
All virtual asset trading platforms operating in Hong Kong must be licensed by the SFC under the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance, or be applicants for virtual asset trading platforms that are deemed to be licensed. Operating a virtual asset trading platform in Hong Kong in violation of the Anti-Money Laundering Ordinance is a criminal offense, and the SFC will take all appropriate actions against any illegal acts.
In the coming months, while applicants for virtual asset trading platforms that are deemed to be licensed continue their applications, the SFC will conduct on-site inspections to determine whether they have complied with the SFCs regulatory requirements, with particular attention paid to their client asset protection and know-your-client procedures. The SFCs move is aimed at protecting the interests of investors, and the inspection results will affect the license application process. Similarly, if any violation of the key regulatory requirements on investor protection is found during the inspection, the SFC will promptly reject the relevant license application and take other regulatory actions as appropriate.
