 Hong Kong cryptocurrency exchange HKVAEX has not applied for a virtual asset trading platform license with Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), a spokesperson for HKVAEX has said.
 Amid multiple reports erroneously suggesting that HKVAEX has applied for an SFC <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="license" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/license.html">license</a>, the HKVAEX representative claimed the crypto exchange is yet to submit an application.
 “We are still <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="preparing" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/preparing.html">preparing</a> for the application at the moment,” the HKVAEX representative told Cointelegraph on Nov. 27. The spokesperson stressed that HKVAEX should not be confused with VAEXC, which applied for a crypto <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="license" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/license.html">license</a> in Hong Kong on Oct. 25, according to SFC data.
 “VAEXC is another applicant, and they have nothing to do with us,” the HKVAEX representative said, adding that the firm is unrelated to HKVAEX.

 The news came a few weeks after the Hong Kong-based publication South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Binance was behind the HKVAEX exchange. According to SCMP sources, HKVAEX was set up by Binance to pursue a crypto license in Hong Kong. The report also claimed that HKVAEX’s website uses Binance servers to fetch content.
