ZA Bank, Hong Kong’s leading virtual bank, has become the first digital-only bank to receive approval from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for cryptocurrency trading. This move underscores the city's efforts to tighten regulations on unlicensed exchanges.

A Year of Preparation Pays Off

According to local reports, the approval follows months of preparation, with the bank now adapting to Hong Kong’s new crypto regulations implemented in June 2023.

What Next?

ZA Bank's next move will be to launch its investment fund service, supporting Hong Kong's ambitions to become a global crypto hub and attract international investors. As competition with crypto hubs like Singapore and Dubai intensifies.

Impact on the Crypto Market

ZA Bank's approval is part of a broader initiative by city regulators to legitimize the cryptocurrency industry. These efforts create an environment where licensed platforms can thrive, offering secure, regulated services to crypto traders.

This move marks significant progress in Hong Kong’s efforts to establish itself as a leading digital asset center, potentially transforming the regional cryptocurrency market.
