The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission is preparing to expand access for professional investors to trade cryptocurrency derivatives. This move aims to promote liquidation and develop the local digital asset market, creating a platform for Hong Kong to become a global capital flow hub in this field.
Data shows that in the first quarter of 2025, trading volume in the derivative market reached 21,000 billion USD, far exceeding the 4,600 billion USD in the spot market. Clearly, the derivative trading market is leading the trend and playing a crucial role in the digital asset market structure.
Recently, the Hong Kong Legislative Council passed a stablecoin licensing bill to improve the cryptocurrency management ecosystem. This policy creates a solid legal framework for related activities and attracts large organizations to participate in the market.
Experts note that regulations on derivatives are an important shard in Hong Kong's overall compliance system. Legal improvements in this field not only enhance transparency but also contribute to increasing trust among institutional investors, expanding the global cryptocurrency market scale.
