Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has greenlit crypto derivatives trading for professional investors, marking a strategic move to bolster the city's position in global digital asset markets. The regulated rollout reflects authorities' cautious approach to institutional crypto adoption while acknowledging derivatives' critical role in portfolio management.
The decision follows Hong Kong's progressive regulatory stance, including May's stablecoin legislation. SFC officials emphasize transparent implementation, with potential for expanded access contingent on market stability. Derivatives traders welcome the clarity after prolonged regulatory uncertainty.
