JPEX

<p>In the aftermath of the <a href="https://coingape.com/hong-kong-exchange-jpex-suspected-of-rugpull-regulators-tighten-rules/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JPEX incident</a>, which stirred controversy and aftershocks, licensed virtual asset platform operators believed the incident could expedite the approval process for new products. Financial technology solution providers suggest that future developments integrating tokenized platforms with banks would enhance the virtual asset industry, leveraging the public’s trust in the credibility of banks.</p> 
<h3 id="hong-kong-regulators-accelerate-approvals">Hong Kong Regulators Accelerate Approvals</h3> 
<p>BC Technology, a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based licensed crypto exchange OSL, revealed that authorities have <a href="https://coingape.com/hong-kongs-sfc-tightens-crypto-regulations-post-jpex/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accelerated product approvals</a> post the JPEX incident. Hu Zhenbang, the group’s CFO, emphasized that non-compliant platforms now face stricter monitoring, preventing them from excessive publicity at MTR stations, a common practice in the past.</p> 
<p>Chen Yaowen, Chief Digital Director and Fintech Innovation Director at Sifang Innovative Hong Kong, a fintech solution provider, highlighted their focus on assisting in virtual asset tokenization and integrating it with the banking system to hasten technological adoption by banks.</p> 
<p>Yaowen <a rel="nofollow" href="https://news.mingpao.com/pns/%e7%b6%93%e6%bf%9f/article/20231127/s00004/1701018928844/bc%e7%a7%91%e6%8a%80-%e6%94%bf%e5%ba%9c%e6%8c%ba%e6%8c%81%e7%89%8c%e6%a5%ad%e7%95%8c%e7%99%bc%e5%b1%95-%e5%8a%a0%e5%bf%ab%e5%af%a9%e6%89%b9%e7%94%a2%e5%93%81" target="_blank">expressed</a> confidence that public trust in banks could facilitate virtual asset trading through regulated platforms, especially if regulatory bodies, such as the China Securities Regulatory Commission, participate in the review and approval process. He further anticipates significant opportunities for banks to develop tokenized virtual assets and secure custody wallets.</p> 
<p>Thales, a prominent information security provider, notes an increasing demand for security measures on virtual asset platforms despite the JPEX incident. Contrary to deterrence, the incident is also expected to prompt a surge in license applications, indicating a resilient industry outlook.</p> 
<h3 id="regulators-on-their-toes">Regulators on Their Toes</h3> 
<p>Amid the current developments in the crypto space, Hong Kong regulators have been maintaining strong vigilance.</p> 
<p>The primary cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, may encounter <a href="https://coingape.com/hong-kong-sfc-wary-binance-license-amid-regulatory-pressures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regulatory obstacles</a> in its pursuit of official recognition for service provision in Hong Kong, as reported by the South China Morning Post, citing insights from industry experts. The report notes that Binance’s interactions with US authorities, including an admission of guilt to charges related to anti-money laundering and sanctions violations, present a substantial impediment to its ambitions in the Hong Kong market.</p> 
<p>Despite indications that its local affiliate, HKVAEX, is gearing up to seek a cryptocurrency license, the intertwining of resources and significant connections with Binance could introduce complexities. Industry experts draw attention to the stringent criteria set by the Securities and Futures Commission, underscoring the necessity for applicants to showcase adherence to anti-money laundering regulations.</p>
