概要

Hong Kong's virtual asset (VA) regulatory regime is rapidly evolving. The SFC, along with the FSTB, are finalising critical frameworks and regulations specifically for a host of VA-related activities, in particular VA Dealing (including OTC), VA Advisory, VA Custody and VA Asset Management, with new rules expected to be tabled for legislation in the coming months.

This 60-minute high-impact interactive workshop delivered by two senior ex-Regulators and virtual assets experts is designed to provide industry practitioners with the actionable intelligence needed to navigate these changes, mitigate risks, consider licensing requirements and capitalize on emerging opportunities.

內容

Key Topics to be covered include:
  • The Latest Regulatory Mandates: Understand the SFC and FSTB consultation and conclusions from late 2025 and early 2026, including the newly proposed frameworks and its implications.
  • Practical Preparation Roadmap: Develop a concrete strategy for integrating VA business lines, covering capital, technology, and personnel requirements.
  • Critical Compliance Considerations: Implementation of robust risk management protocols for client asset safekeeping, AML/CFT, and ongoing supervisory expectations.
