The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has officially approved licensed virtual asset trading platform EXIO to conduct over-the-counter (OTC) trading services under the existing licensing framework. This means that EXIO is now qualified to provide compliant OTC trading in Hong Kong. It is reported that the platform has completed the system deployment and上线工作 for OTC services. This is an important development in Hong Kong's virtual asset ecosystem — an increasing number of officially recognized exchanges are beginning to expand OTC trading capabilities, providing more flexible transaction pathways for institutions and large traders. Under the regulatory framework of the Hong Kong SFC, licensed platforms' OTC services can further enhance market liquidity and trading convenience.

OTC actions are quite swift. Hong Kong is indeed seriously promoting a compliant ecosystem. EXIO obtaining approval can also be seen as setting an example for the market.

Hong Kong's recent regulatory actions are quite practical; expanding OTC trading indeed makes things easier for big players. --- Another platform has obtained an OTC license, now institutions have more options to play with. --- With compliant OTC trading in place, can liquidity improve? The key still depends on trading volume. --- EXIO's move is impressive; licensed platforms engaging in OTC trading is the right path. --- The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission's strategy is quite steady, gradually filling the market gaps.

Haha, EXIO has obtained another OTC license. The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission is really pushing the ecosystem. Institutional clients are probably laughing; large transactions finally have a formal channel.

Hong Kong is starting to relax regulations again, and OTC has indeed been what institutions have been waiting for.
