Hong Kong Tightens Crypto Rules with New Staking Guidelines

The post Hong Kong Tightens Crypto Rules with New Staking Guidelines appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News In a move to tighten oversight in the crypto space, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has rolled out fresh guidelines for licensed virtual asset trading platforms and SFC-authorised funds involved in staking. The SFC’s new rules highlight the benefits of staking, such as boosting blockchain security and helping investors earn yields in a regulated environment. This guidance lets licensed crypto platforms offer more services, supporting the SFC’s “ASPIRe” plan to grow Hong Kong’s virtual asset market. SFC Rules Aim to Make Crypto Staking Safer The SFC has laid out clear rules for licensed crypto platforms offering staking, aiming to boost investor protection. Platforms must safeguard staked assets, prevent service errors, and be fully transparent about the risks involved, marking a strong step toward safer staking in Hong Kong. Besides, the SFC has also revised its circular on SFC-authorised VA Funds, allowing them to stake assets—but only through licensed platforms or approved institutions. To reduce risk, a cap is set on how much they can stake, helping manage liquidity and protect investors. SFC CEO Julia Leung remarked that expanding the suite of regulated crypto services is key to growing Hong Kong’s virtual asset space. At the same time she also emphasized that the top priority should always be protecting investors’ assets through strong regulation and compliance. Hong Kong’s Efforts To Become a Global Crypto Leader Hong Kong is actively enhancing its cryptocurrency regulations to position itself as a leading digital asset hub. The SFC has introduced the ASPIRe framework, focusing on Access, Safeguards, Products, Infrastructure, and Relationships, aiming to streamline market access and bolster investor protections. ​ In February 2025, the SFC announced plans to establish new licensing regimes for over-the-counter virtual asset trading and custody services, seeking to improve market efficiency and investor safeguards.
