Hong Kong Opens Door to Crypto Derivatives for Professional Investors
Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will soon allow virtual asset derivatives trading for professional investors, aiming to boost market liquidity and improve risk management.
The move supports Hong Kong’s push to become a global digital asset hub, according to Financial Secretary Christopher Hui. The SFC sees these derivatives as tools to help experienced investors hedge and leverage positions more efficiently. This follows earlier expansions in crypto services, including approved staking and licensed platforms. A new policy statement is also in the works to align traditional finance with crypto innovation.
