Hong Kong, sanal varlık lisans sistemi kurmayı planlıyor, yasadışı işletme için en yüksek ceza 5 milyon ve 7 yıl hapis.

【金色财经】Hong Kong media reported that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau have released a consultation document proposing to legislate a licensing system for dijital varlık (i.e., virtual assets) trading and custody service providers. The document mentions that it is proposed to require operators of virtual asset services, whether small such as coin trading, withdrawals, exchanges of fiat, or complex such as brokerage activities and large transactions, to apply for licenses from the Securities and Futures Commission, which essentially brings virtual asset OTC Trade platforms under regulation. Moreover, the requirements are much stricter than those proposed last year regarding virtual asset OTC Trade platforms applying for licenses from customs. At the same time, the consultation document also mentions that the law will take effect without a transition period, and those who are considered to have obtained licenses but do not comply with regulations must cease operations immediately. Operators without licenses could face fines of up to 5 million and imprisonment for 7 years.
