The exchange also acquired an Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (AMLO) license from the SFC.<\/p>\n<p>HKVAX specializes in Security Token Offerings (STO), Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, over-the-counter (OTC) trading, and custody services. These capabilities position it as one of the most regulated virtual asset platforms in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>HKVAX CEO Anthony Ng stated that these licenses reflect both the company's and Hong Kong's dedication to becoming leaders in the virtual asset space.<\/p>\n<p>Ng stated that he believes STO and RWA innovations will reshape traditional financial markets by boosting liquidity and creating new opportunities. This goal aligns with Hong Kong's ambitions to solidify its standing as a global financial hub.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Co-founder Sam Fok echoed this view, noting that the licenses are only the beginning of the firm's expansion. He added that the approval elevates HKVAX from a simple exchange to a &#8220;comprehensive ecosystem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HKVAX is forming strategic partnerships with key industry players, including brokers, Money Service Operators (MSOs), Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) issuers, stablecoin providers, and other virtual asset platforms to further its growth.
