CMB International's Virtual Asset Trading Officially Launched

On August 18, CMB International Securities Limited (referred to as 'CMB International Securities') officially began providing virtual asset trading services. Its APP has launched the virtual asset trading function, offering qualified investors 24/7 virtual asset trading services. Qualified investors can directly participate in trading Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT) through their virtual asset accounts. In the future, within the framework of risk control and compliance management, CMB International Securities will take a steady and gradual approach to expand the scope of virtual asset trading and upgrade its functions.

CMB International Securities received approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (referred to as 'Hong Kong SFC') on July 11 to upgrade its existing securities trading license to a license that allows for the provision of virtual asset trading services. The official launch of this virtual asset trading function marks a solid step for CMB International Securities in responding to regulatory policies, implementing innovative business initiatives, optimizing system integration, and supporting compliant operations.
