The people added that BC's deliberations are ongoing and there is guarantee that a deal will come to pass.

The exchange is one of two to have won crypto licenses in Hong Kong under the region's new regulatory regime introduced in June, the other being HashKey. The application process is thought to have been expensive, however, costing the companies between $12-20 million, individuals familiar with the matter told CoinDesk in August.

BC Technology did not immediately respond to CoinDesk's request for comment.
