According to the Hong Kong Economic Times, Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Chief Executive Officer Leung Fengyi responded today to the Hounax virtual asset platform fraud case that raised questions about the one-year grace period set by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. Liang Fengyi said that the virtual asset platform supervision regulations will take effect from June 2023 to June 2024, with a one-year grace period. Even if the grace period ends immediately, fraud will still occur, so the grace period and other measures will not be changed for the time being.In addition, Huang Lexin, director of the Licensing Division and head of the Financial Technology Group of the Intermediary Department of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, also pointed out that the original intention of launching the grace period is to allow existing virtual asset operating platforms enough time to prepare and apply for relevant licenses. In the future, it will continue to Monitor market information and social platforms, etc., hoping to protect investors.
