The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong said 12 licensed virtual asset trading platforms exceeded HK$640 billion in trading volume in 2025, with first-quarter volume nearly three times higher than a year earlier. The regulator also reported that brokers’ virtual asset commission income rose by more than 80% last year, signaling growing participation in Hong Kong’s regulated digital-asset market. The figures come as Hong Kong aims to submit a virtual asset regulatory bill in 2026, a further step toward formalizing oversight of the sector.
