币界网报道：Mainland China-based brokerage firm Victory Securities has obtained a license from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to operate virtual asset-related businesses, becoming the first traditional financial institution in mainland China to receive such approval in Hong Kong. The license allows Victory Securities to provide services including virtual asset trading and advisory services to professional investors. This development comes as Hong Kong positions itself as a regional hub for virtual asset trading, implementing a new regulatory framework for crypto businesses since June 2023. The company stated it will strictly comply with Hong Kong regulations while exploring opportunities in the Web3 sector. Industry observers view this as a significant step in bridging mainland China's financial sector with Hong Kong's growing crypto ecosystem, despite mainland China's continued ban on cryptocurrency trading. Victory Securities, founded in the 1970s, has been expanding its digital asset services in recent years.
