Steps to get a cryptocurrency license in Hong Kong
The process of obtaining a cryptocurrency license in Hong Kong is rigorous and simple, regulated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). Here are the main steps:
Prepare paperwork
First, you need to prepare all the important documents, including business plans, anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terrorist financing (CTF) policies, and know your customer (KYC) procedures. These documents must comply with the requirements of the HKMA and the SFC. It is recommended to consult legal experts familiar with Hong Kong's cryptocurrency regulations on this step.
Company Registration
Once the documents are ready and approved by the legal team, you can proceed to register your company in Hong Kong. This is an essential step before applying for a cryptocurrency license. This process usually takes about 2-4 weeks and includes the submission of all necessary documents to the Hong Kong Companies Registry and the Inland Revenue Department.
Permit Application
After successfully registering a company, the next step is to submit a formal application for a cryptocurrency license to the HKMA and the SFC. This requires an in-depth review of your business model, security protocols, and compliance with anti-money laundering, CTF, and KYC policies. Depending on the complexity of your business, this may take 2 to 6 months.
Regulatory approval and licensing
Once the regulator has reviewed and approved your application, you will be granted a cryptocurrency license to operate legally in Hong Kong. This will enable you to provide a variety of encryption services, depending on the type of license you apply.
