The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has initiated an inquiry into how publicly listed corporations manage their cryptocurrency assets, known as ‘cryptocurrency treasuries’. This probe aims to assess whether existing regulations are adequate given the potential risks these practices may pose to investors. Chairman Kelvin Wong Tin-yau expressed concerns over the significant price premiums observed on stocks of crypto-focused companies and highlighted parallels with similar situations in the US where investor losses materialized. He emphasized that individual investors remain uninformed about the complexities of Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) and plans to bolster investor education through awareness campaigns, according to SFC officials.
