🟢 Hong Kong Opens Crypto Derivatives for Professional Investors
📢 The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) plans to allow professional investors to trade crypto derivatives.
📊 Why This Matters:
A market worth $21 trillion opens up (in Q1 2025)
This is 4.5 times larger than the volume of the cryptocurrency spot market
This creates a precedent for regulated hedging and speculation on digital assets
🏛 Previously, Hong Kong has already implemented laws for licensing stablecoins, and now it is expanding its scope — towards derivatives.
