Blockchain and Crypto Advisory
Depending on the nature of your business or intended venture, we will let you know what licenses are necessary for your operations and assist you at every step in obtaining such licenses in Hong Kong.
OVERVIEW
Licensing and corporate advisory for crypto businesses in Hong Kong
At KTC, we specialize in providing comprehensive advisory and related services tailored for both fintech companies and traditional businesses looking to enter the cryptocurrency market in Hong Kong.
With almost two decades of offering corporate services, we are well-versed in advising the appropriate corporate structure(s) and step(s) your business needs to achieve your goals, whether that be tax planning, ring-fencing client assets or setting up trust companies.
Our team will assist you in reviewing the policies and procedures necessary for your VATP (Virtual Asset Trading Platform) application as well as the revamped External Assessment for VATPs since the implementation of the SFC’s swift licensing process for prospective applicants after 16 January 2025.
WARNING
Operating without the right license is a criminal offence in Hong Kong.
If your crypto business holds client assets, exchanges or remits money, or lends, you will likely need a license. Without one, you and your directors face fines and imprisonment.
