香港虚拟资产交易所（HKVAX）成为第三家获得证监会牌照的加密货币交易所

HKVAX获得第1类（证券交易）及第7类（提供自动交易服务）虚拟资产交易平台（VATP）牌照

The Hong Kong Virtual Asset Exchange (HKVAX) has become the first cryptocurrency exchange to receive licensing from the Special Administrative Region’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to serve retail customers.

香港虚拟资产交易所（HKVAX）成为首家获得香港特别行政区证券及期货事务监察委员会（SFC）许可为零售客户提供服务的加密货币交易所。

HKVAX received Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 7 (providing automated trading services) virtual asset trading platform (VATP) licenses, as well as an Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing license to operate a virtual asset trading platform.

HKVAX获得第1类（证券交易）和第7类（提供自动交易服务）虚拟资产交易平台（VATP）牌照，以及运营虚拟资产交易平台的反洗钱和反恐融资牌照。

HKVAX is among a select few to have received full licensing in Hong Kong. Cryptocurrency exchanges OSL and HashKey received licenses in 2020 and 2022, respectively, under an old opt-in system. However, retail crypto trading began in Hong Kong in August 2023.

HKVAX 是少数在香港获得完全许可的公司之一。加密货币交易所 OSL 和 HashKey 分别于 2020 年和 2022 年在旧的选择加入系统下获得了许可证。然而，零售加密货币交易于 2023 年 8 月在香港开始。

HKVAX core service offerings include over-the-counter trading, a trading platform and comprehensive, insured custody. In addition, it specializes in security token offerings (STO) and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. HKVAX co-founder and CEO Anthony Ng said in a statement:

HKVAX 的核心服务包括场外交易、交易平台和全面的保险托管。此外，它还专注于证券代币产品（STO）和现实世界资产（RWA）代币化。 HKVAX 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Anthony Ng 在一份声明中表示：

HKVAX received in-principle approval from the SFC in August 2023 and is the first exchange to be licensed under the current licensing regime. Exchanges seeking licenses had until 29 February to file an application and were otherwise closed.

HKVAX 于 2023 年 8 月获得证监会原则上批准，是首家根据现行发牌制度获得牌照的交易所。寻求许可证的交易所必须在 2 月 29 日之前提交申请，否则将被关闭。

Sixteen companies are awaiting a decision on their VATP applications, 11 of which are already operating as “deemed to licensed,” even though the SFC posts a warning on its website discouraging people from doing business with them.

16 家公司正在等待对其 VATP 申请的决定，其中 11 家公司已经以“视为获得许可”的方式运营，尽管证监会在其网站上发布警告，劝阻人们与它们开展业务。
