In the wake of mounting regulatory challenges, Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, faces uncertainty in securing a crypto license in Hong Kong. The recent guilty plea by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao to US anti-money-laundering laws has cast a shadow over the exchange’s plans to secure a license in the country.

隨著監管挑戰日益嚴峻，全球領先的加密貨幣交易所幣安在獲得香港加密貨幣牌照方面面臨不確定性。幣安創始人趙長鵬最近對美國反洗錢法認罪，為該交易所在該國獲得牌照的計劃蒙上了陰影。

Meanwhile, as the industry watches this unfolding saga, Elizabeth Wong, Director of Licensing and Head of Fintech unit at Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), raises crucial questions about Binance’s potential license approval.

同時，在業界關注這一傳奇故事的同時，香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會（證監會）牌照總監兼金融科技部門主管 Elizabeth Wong 對幣安潛在牌照批准提出了關鍵問題。

Binance Faces Challenges in Hong Kong

幣安在香港面臨挑戰

The leading crypto exchange, Binance might face regulatory hurdles to secure a legitimate status in offering its services in Hong Kong, South China Morning Post reported while citing industry experts. According to the report, Binance’s entanglement with US authorities, including a guilty plea to anti-money-laundering and sanctions violations, poses a considerable challenge to its aspirations in Hong Kong.

根據《南華早報》引述行業專家的話報道，作為領先的加密貨幣交易所，幣安可能會面臨監管障礙，以確保在香港提供服務的合法地位。報告稱，幣安與美國當局的糾葛，包括對反洗錢和違反制裁行為的認罪，對其在香港的願望構成了相當大的挑戰。

Despite its reportedly local affiliate HKVAEX preparing to apply for a crypto license, the shared resources and significant ties with Binance could complicate matters. Experts point to the stringent requirements of the Securities and Futures Commission, emphasizing the need for applicants to demonstrate compliance with anti-money-laundering laws.

據報道，儘管其當地子公司 HKVAEX 正準備申請加密貨幣許可證，但共享資源以及與幣安的密切聯繫可能會讓事情變得複雜。專家指出證監會的嚴格要求，並強調申請人需要證明其遵守反洗錢法。

However, responding to last month’s claims that HKVAEX was set up by Binance to secure a license in Hong Kong, HKVAEX said that it is working as an “independent” digital asset exchange. In addition, Binance said that HKVAEX is not there in its “Group of companies.”

然而，針對上個月有關 HKVAEX 是幣安為了獲得香港牌照而設立的說法，HKVAEX 表示，它正在作為「獨立」的數位資產交易所運作。此外，幣安表示 HKVAEX 並不存在於其「公司集團」中。

SFC’s Cautionary Stance: Elizabeth Wong’s Remarks Raise Eyebrows

證監會的警告立場：黃伊麗莎白的言論令人驚訝

In a recent podcast hosted by Web3 Harbour, Elizabeth Wong, the SFC’s Director of Licensing and Head of the Fintech unit, addressed the looming question of Binance’s license in Hong Kong. When asked about the possibility in light of Binance’s guilty plea in the US, Wong remained cautious, citing a lack of information on Binance’s market entry strategy and structure.

在 Web3 Harbour 最近主持的播客中，證監會牌照總監兼金融科技部門主管 Elizabeth Wong 談到了迫在眉睫的幣安在香港牌照問題。當被問及幣安在美國認罪的可能性時，黃仍然保持謹慎，理由是缺乏有關幣安市場進入策略和結構的資訊。

Meanwhile, discussions swirled about Binance pursuing a license under new CEO Richard Teng. In response, Wong said that the entity is not present on the SFC’s “list yet,” referring to the SFC’s list of virtual asset trading platform operators with submitted license applications.

與此同時，關於幣安在新任執行長理查德·騰 (Richard Teng) 的領導下尋求牌照的討論也紛繁複雜。黃回應稱，該實體尚未出現在證監會的「名單」上，指的是證監會已提交牌照申請的虛擬資產交易平台營運商名單。

Notably, this ambiguity adds another layer of uncertainty to Binance’s regulatory journey in Hong Kong. As regulatory pressures intensify, Binance’s uncertain standing in Hong Kong becomes a focal point of industry scrutiny.

值得注意的是，這種模糊性為幣安在香港的監管之旅增添了另一層不確定性。隨著監管壓力加劇，幣安在香港的不確定地位成為產業審查的焦點。
