Julia Leung, CEO of Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), is poised for a three-year extension, according to reports from PANews. Her tenure, which began in January 2023, has seen her implement licensing regulations for virtual asset trading platforms and create a roadmap for the digital assets industry. Leung’s approach toward crypto is marked by a strong belief in its potential and promises of growth. She aims for consistency in regulation by extending regulatory oversight to over-the-counter trading and custodial institutions in cryptocurrency. Despite speculation, the Hong Kong government declined to comment on personnel appointments. The SFC stated they will provide updates as necessary.
