The firms were found to have used the term “bank” when describing their products and services, potentially misleading consumers. HKMA• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Уп » Управление денежного обращения Гонконга Cracks Down On Crypto Firms Posing As Banks The HKMA• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Уп » Управление денежного обращения Гонконга, which also serves as Hong Kong’s central bank• Экономика » Финансы » Государственный банк » Центральные банки, alerted the public today to be wary of two digital asset firms accused of falsely portraying themselves as banks. According to the regulator, such misrepresentation may breach Hong Kong’s Banking Ordinance, which governs the region’s banking sector.

It mandates licensing, supervision, and oversight of banking operations while prohibiting unauthorized entities from presenting themselves as banks or offering banking services. In its statement, the HKMA• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Уп » Управление денежного обращения Гонконга revealed that one of the firms claimed to be a bank, while the other advertised a card product on its website as a “bank card.” Such words, the regulator noted, could mislead consumers into believing the firms were operating under HKMA• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Уп » Управление денежного обращения Гонконга’s supervision. The announcement stated: Other than licensed banks in Hong Kong, it is an offence for any person to use the word “bank” in the name or description under which the person carries on business• Экономика » Бизнес, or makes any representation that the person is a bank or is carrying on banking business• Экономика » Бизнес in Hong Kong. While the regulator did not disclose the names of the two entities, it emphasized that crypto firms claiming licenses in other jurisdictions are not automatically recognized as licensed banks in Hong Kong. Despite Hong Kong’s ambition to establish itself as a global hub for cryptocurrency through favorable regulations, the region’s authorities are actively monitoring illegal activities linked to digital assets. Hong Kong Wants To Become A Global Crypto Hub Hong Kong’s crypto-friendly stance contrasts sharply with neighboring China, where a blanket ban on cryptocurrency-related activities remains. However, recent reports suggest China may be softening its approach to digital assets following Donald Trump’s 2024 US presidential election victory.

According to a recent report by Chainalysis, Hong Kong ranked as the top region in East Asia for crypto adoption. To enhance its crypto ecosystem, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (HKSFC) approved several Bitcoin (BTC• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin) and Ethereum (ETH• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Ethereum) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) earlier this year . This move highlighted the region’s confidence in the potential of digital assets to attract global capital. In August, Hong Kong residents gained the ability to directly purchase BTC and ETH using Hong Kong or US dollars through the region’s largest online broker. More recently, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE) launched Asia’s first EU-compliant crypto index, further solidifying Hong Kong’s status as a leader in the digital asset space. Similarly, Hong Kong Legislative Council member Johnny Ng recently made a push to make it easier for crypto and Web3 firms in the region to obtain seamless access to banking services. While Hong Kong’s regulatory environment aims to nurture the growth of the cryptocurrency industry, challenges persist. One of the primary concerns remains illicit activities, including money laundering through digital assets. BTC trades at $89,915 at press time , down 1.2% in the past 24 hours.
