The Hong Kong SFC will implement new regulations for crypto industry

SFC	2018-12-17 17:58

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) is going to implement new regulations and new licensing regime for cryptocurrency industry in coming months, Finance Magnates reported citing Japanese outlet Nikkei.

New rules will mean that, if cryptocurrencies make up more than 10% of a firm’s holdings, they will have to obtain a specific license from the SFC.

In addition, these firms will only be able to sell cryptocurrency products to professional investors.

The new rules, which are set to be rolled out in several stages, also put prohibitions on the ability of firms to launch initial coin offerings (ICOs). For example, a token must have been in existence for 12 months prior to its launch through an ICO. Quite how that will work in practice, when the purpose of an ICO is usually to launch a token, is unclear.

As previously reported, in November, Hong Kong unveiled new rules to regulate crypto funds and exchanges.
