Wu said that according to Zhitong Financial Network, Ye Zhiheng, Executive Director of the Intermediary Department of the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission, revealed that there will soon be new virtual asset platform licenses that can be approved, expected in the first quarter. He continued by saying that almost all applicants had undergone on-site inspections last year, and regulators had the opportunity to express their requirements. The platform also had time to respond, and the industry believes that direct communication can accelerate the approval process. Ye Zhiheng stated that he cannot guarantee that all 11 applications will be approved at present, as he needs to uphold regulatory red lines, including investor protection and network security requirements for operators. However, he hopes to be given one or two months. Previously, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission had announced the establishment of an advisory group for all licensed platforms in early 2025 to ensure that industry perspectives are taken into account in the policy-making process. http://(wublock123.com)/index.php? m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=36811
