SFC convenes third Digital Asset Consultative Panel meeting
The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) today convened the third meeting of the Digital Asset Consultative Panel (DACP), bringing together SFC-licensed virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs) to discuss forthcoming regulatory developments for digital assets in Hong Kong.
At the meeting, participants discussed initiatives aimed at strengthening the digital asset ecosystem, including regulatory measures to enhance liquidity on licensed VATPs and to expand the range of product and service offerings.
“The SFC remains committed to fostering a vibrant and sustainable digital asset market in Hong Kong,” said Dr Eric Yip, the SFC's Executive Director of Intermediaries and chair of the DACP. “As we enter the Year of the Horse – a symbol of perseverance and progress, we reaffirm on our focus on balancing innovation with robust investor protection. Close engagement with our industry stakeholders ensures that our regulatory policies are practical, effective and well-calibrated.”
The SFC will continue to collaborate proactively with licensed VATPs through the DACP, in line with Pillar Re (Relationships) of the ASPIRe roadmap (Note 1), to advance a resilient and globally competitive digital asset ecosystem.
