Is bitcoin legal in Hong Kong?
Bitcoin is legal in Hong Kong, and retail trading has been permitted on licensed venues since the Securities and Futures Commission opened its virtual asset trading platform regime to retail investors in June 2023. More than a dozen platforms, including HashKey Exchange and OSL, now hold SFC licenses. Global exchanges without an SFC license may not market to Hong Kong retail investors, so using one from Hong Kong means operating outside the local protection framework.
