Futu Securities received approval from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to provide securities-backed financing for virtual asset trading.
The firm becomes the first brokerage in Hong Kong to offer this service to eligible clients.
Qualified investors can now use credit from traditional securities margin financing to trade cryptocurrencies.
This expansion integrates digital assets into an ecosystem that includes stocks, ETFs, options, and existing crypto products.
The move aligns with Hong Kong’s evolving regulatory framework for digital assets.
