币界网报道：[Caixin: Guotai Junan International was approved for a VASP license, not a VATP license] According to Caixin, Guotai Junan International applied for and was approved for a "Virtual Asset Service Provider" (VASP) license, which is an upgrade to the original Class 1 license to include the scope of virtual asset transactions, but this is not a "Virtual Asset Trading Platform" (VATP) license, and these VASPs will need to connect to VATP later. Senior crypto industry insiders pointed out that VASPs are "virtual asset service providers" and VATPs are "virtual asset trading platforms", and the two are obviously different. The former is directly involved in the trading and custody of virtual assets, and is therefore subject to stricter supervision, especially in terms of security measures, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing compliance, and investor protection.
