OKX, currently the second-largest crypto exchange in terms of trading volume, announced that it is officially setting up shop in Hong Kong. Specifically, OKX is applying for a license to operate in the said territory.
Read CRYPTONEWSLAND onCurrently, the exchange has launched its Hong Kong branch and it is actively pursuing a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license. This has been in the works for at least a year, according to the official announcement.
Lennix Lai, the exchange’s Managing Director of Global Institutional, said that their Hong Kong roadmap extends to at least 5 years. General Counsel Bing Zhao also affirmed their cooperation with Hong Kong regulators to ensure total compliance with relevant laws.
The announcement came amid the CFTC suing Binance and its CEO Changpeng Zhao for various charges. Nowadays, regulators from different countries are imposing strict guidelines and tough actions against crypto exchanges, so, others may have viewed the OKX as inevitable to be revealed sooner than later.
Meanwhile, OKX also announced its sponsorship of crypto-related events in Hong Kong. Namely, these are the WOW Summit and Hong Kong Web3 Festival. Both events are expecting the active participation of Hong Kong government officials.
