Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, is reportedly supporting HKVAEX, a Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency trading platform, in its efforts to obtain a local crypto license. HKVAEX, which was established as a separate entity in December 2022, is said to be sharing resources with Binance. However, HKVAEX claims to be an independent platform with its own dedicated team. Binance has not confirmed any affiliation with HKVAEX. Several cryptocurrency exchanges, including OKX, have shown interest in expanding to Hong Kong following the introduction of new regulations allowing licenses for retail trading. Binance, however, has not disclosed its intentions regarding acquiring such a license in the region. Binance is currently facing regulatory challenges in various jurisdictions, including the United States and Europe, and has experienced a series of departures from its senior leadership team. Despite these issues, the exchange maintains its commitment to compliance with local laws.
