Huobi’s Expansion in Hong Kong
Hong Kong investors now have access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies through Huobi’s Hong Kong website, known as Huobi HK. The exchange has already listed popular coins like bitcoin and ether, allowing local traders to participate in spot trading and increase market liquidity.
Moreover, Huobi is fully committed to complying with Hong Kong’s crypto regulations. The exchange has expressed support for the newly implemented licensing regime, highlighting its belief that regulation will contribute to the wider adoption of cryptocurrencies globally. Huobi is collaborating with Hong Kong regulatory authorities to foster an environment conducive to Web3 innovation.
To ensure adherence to regulatory standards, Huobi is in the process of applying for a Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) license. This license will enable the exchange to enhance its services, focusing on security, compliance, and anti-money laundering measures. Independent auditors are working with Huobi to ensure transparency and accountability.
