[ad_1]


Cryptocurrency exchange Huobi Global is seeking a license in Hong Kong as the Chinese special administrative region considers new licensing and regulatory moves that would allow it to serve retail customers.

The new framework, which requires crypto exchanges to register with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), would allow the exchange to expand its services to the city. Huobi also plans to open a new exchange named Huobi Hong Kong that would concentrate on institutional and high-net-worth individuals, according to a Twitter thread by Justin Sun.
