Gate Group said it discussed Hong Kong’s recent policy statement on virtual assets in a closed-door meeting with the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau (FSTB), the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and Invest Hong Kong, according to a company statement .
The purpose of the meeting was to address industry leaders’ questions and concerns regarding policy and regulation. The watchdogs are also looking to encourage virtual asset exchanges to consider license requirements.
