Fact Check
The evidence overwhelmingly supports the truthfulness of the statement. There is a strong consensus across multiple, independent, high-authority financial news outlets. A report from Sina Finance, a major outlet, directly confirms that Delin Securities received 'conditional approval' from the SFC. This is corroborated by another high-authority source, Yahoo Finance Hong Kong, which adds the detail that the approval was for upgrading its Type 1 license to include virtual asset trading. A third credible financial news report, citing Zhitong Finance, also confirms the approval, describing it as a "key step towards receiving formal approval," which is consistent with the term 'conditional approval'.Further reports from other financial news sites and platforms echo this information. While some sources have lower authority (e.g., user-generated content), they are consistent with the high-authority reports and do not introduce any contradictions. One provided source was irrelevant as it did not contain specific information on the matter. The consistency and direct confirmation from several reputable financial news sources make it highly probable that the statement is true.
