香港财库局许正宇：虚拟资产监管新阶段

The regulatory environment of virtual assets in Hong Kong is becoming more and more stable and complete. With the implementation of various systems in, more and more institutions' business tends to be on the right track, giving more and more confidence to the market. The latest announcement on the new stage of virtual assets supervision written by Xu Zhengyu, director of WeChat official account, Hong Kong Treasury Bureau, summarizes the recent development of the licensing system of virtual assets and stable currency in Hong Kong, and emphatically points out that the government thinks it is necessary to bring OTC into supervision and will start the proposed regulatory framework in the short term. The consultation expects the public and stakeholders to express their opinions enthusiastically. The following is the full text. Since we issued the policy declaration on the development of virtual assets in Hong Kong in June, the virtual asset market has been developing continuously, and the prices of some cryptocurrencies have fluctuated greatly. International organizations and local regulatory agencies have also clearly indicated that they should strengthen supervision over virtual assets. All these make people think that virtual assets have entered the cold winter. Some people have asked whether the government's policy on virtual assets has changed after the incident. Our response is clear: the policy of virtual assets in Hong Kong is to focus on risk-based sound supervision. By adhering to the principle of the same activity, the same risk and the same supervision, we can deal with the risks of virtual assets activities in terms of investor protection, money laundering and terrorist fund-raising. We believe that financial innovation can be effectively encouraged by providing a stable and transparent regulatory environment. Based on these principles, we set up a licensing system and regulatory requirements for virtual assets service providers, and on last month. Since the implementation, two licensed virtual asset trading platforms have been upgraded to provide bitcoin and ethereal trading services to retail investors. The licensed platforms are supervised by the Securities and Futures Commission, giving investors considerable protection. Considering that some virtual asset service providers have been operating in Hong Kong before the licensing system came into effect, there is a transition period for these original service providers to transition to the new licensing system. If they want to continue to operate in Hong Kong, these service providers must do so on. Or before submitting an application for a licence, the CSRC will decide whether these original service providers will be deemed to have been licensed from January this year until the CSRC makes a final decision on their licence application after considering whether the applicants can meet the regulatory requirements and whether they have actually operated in Hong Kong before the licensing system comes into effect. On the contrary, if the CSRC considers that some original service providers fail to meet the relevant requirements of the transitional arrangements, it will issue a notice to these applicants that they will not be deemed to have been licensed. Or the original service providers who have received the notice of not being deemed to be licensed must start to close their business and completely close their business on or before, or within three months from the issuance of the notice by the CSRC. As the deadline for the original service providers to submit license applications to meet the transitional arrangements will expire at the end of this month, the CSRC is actively preparing for law enforcement, including issuing the notice of not being deemed to be licensed to unqualified service providers, and will strengthen publicity work to update virtual assets to the public as soon as possible. List of trading platforms to ensure that the public clearly knows whether the relevant service providers are licensed. I would also like to remind investors again and again that many virtual assets have no real value and their prices fluctuate greatly. Before participating in relevant investments, we must know the details in detail and consider the risks involved. If we want to trade virtual assets, we should only conduct other unlicensed platforms or platforms that have not applied for licenses through platforms officially licensed by the CSRC, and their operations may not meet the statutory regulatory requirements. Some unlicensed platforms even On the other hand, the virtual assets ecosystem also includes some over-the-counter exchanges, which are generally said that most of them operate in the form of physical stores or online platforms and are easy to reach the general public. In fact, some over-the-counter exchanges also participated in some fraud cases about unlicensed virtual assets trading platforms last year to mislead investors into transferring funds to these unlicensed platforms. Therefore, we think it is necessary to include over-the-counter exchanges in supervision and will start a consultation period on the proposed regulatory framework in the near future. Friends who hope that the public and stakeholders can express their opinions enthusiastically and pay attention to the development of virtual assets know that we are also consulting with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) on the legislative proposals for the regulatory system for stable currency issuers. The proposed regulatory system requires all eligible legal tender stable currency issuers to obtain a license system issued by the HKMA, and the HKMA will provide transparent and appropriate regulations to manage the potential risks of monetary and financial stability through a risk-based approach. Sandbox arrangement conveys regulatory expectations and provides compliance guidance to issuers who intend to issue legal tender stable currency in Hong Kong, and collects their opinions on the proposed regulatory requirements to promote the implementation of the follow-up regulatory system and ensure that the system meets the regulatory objectives. The two-month consultation will end at the end of this month. Please seize the time to submit opinions. As the transition period of the licensing system for virtual asset service providers enters the final stage, we will gradually improve the regulatory measures on virtual assets and add international. As the standards of supervision and market development become clearer, investors' confidence in the market will be improved accordingly. We will continue to promote the steady and responsible development of the local market through comprehensive public education, strengthening law enforcement and timely dissemination of information. 比特币今日价格行情网_okx交易所app_永续合约_比特币怎么买卖交易_虚拟币交易所平台
