证监会:营运并提供证券型代币交易服务平台营运商可申请发牌
证监会公布,阐明关於虚拟资产交易平台的新监管框架,在香港营运并就至少一种证券型代币提供交易服务的平台,现时可向证监会申请发牌。
立场书强调,证监会只会向能够符合严格监管标准的平台营运者发牌。这些标准与适用於持牌证券经纪商及自动化交易场所的标准相若,但同时纳入了额外规定,以处理与虚拟资产有关的特定风险。证监会举例称,施加发牌条件後,将规定平台营运者仅可向专业投资者提供其服务,并确保其客户充分认识虚拟资产,以及必须制定严格的纳入准则以筛选可在其平台买卖的虚拟资产。此外,持牌平台将会被纳入证监会监管沙盒,在一段期间内接受密切及严谨的监管。
证监会行政总裁欧达礼表示,监管机构需对创新科技带来的效益持开放态度,但亦应作好准备,解决某些金融科技为投资者带来的风险,证监会决定推行这个新的监管框架,是因为这显然切合公众利益,让投资者能够选择在受到妥善规管的虚拟资产交易平台上进行买卖。
证监会指,新监管框架符合国际标准制定机构的建议,并将有助投资者识别哪些交易平台同意接受规管或监督。然而,证监会希望阐明,在持牌平台上买卖的虚拟资产将不会受到适用於以传统方式销售证券或集体投资计划的相同监管制度所规管。此外,如平台仅买卖不属於香港法例下证券定义的虚拟资产或代币,证监会便无权向该平台批给牌照或对其进行监管。 ~
