BitgetX Joins HKVAC to Obtain an Exchange License in Hong Kong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The HKVAC, established on May 31 with Huobi as its first member, will create two indices. A seven-day median, additional criteria, and quarterly rebalancing will be used to determine the 30 cryptocurrencies with the largest market caps for the Cryptocurrency Large Market Cap Index. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Cryptocurrency Risk Rating Based Index will also exist in the future. A founder member of HKVAC, Fiona Fan, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“KVAC is honored to receive support from BitgetX by becoming one of our founding members. The collective goal from both parties to collaborate and promote the long-term development of the virtual asset industry in Hong Kong includes the crafting of regulatory management standards of trading platforms.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Other areas where cooperation is needed include raising the standard of transactions, giving investors better risk management services, and “creating a secure trading environment.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the news, BitgetX reaffirmed its commitment to working with Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission to achieve a Virtual Asset Licensing Regime<\/a> (VASP). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 1, the new regulatory license system was enacted in the unique administrative region. “We are committed to fostering a compliant and secure digital asset ecosystem for the global market, with a special focus on promoting the Web3 industry in Hong Kong,” stated Patrick Pan, co-founder and CEO of BitgetX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Hong Kong has actively pushed to adopt Web3 technology.
