AMINA (Hong Kong) Limited announced on November 18, 2025 in Hong Kong that it has received a Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) Type 1 license uplift, becoming the first international banking group to provide comprehensive crypto spot trading and asset safeguarding services exclusively to professional investors in Hong Kong. The offering leverages parent AMINA Bank AG’s Swiss FINMA regulation and supports institutions, corporates, family offices, and high‑net‑worth individuals with local onboarding and 24/7 trading.

The license enables 24/7 professional trading across major digital asset pairs, SFC‑compliant custody with SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2 infrastructure, whitelisted address deposits and withdrawals, and an initial slate of 13 vetted cryptocurrencies; Michael Benz, Head of AMINA Hong Kong and APAC, says the uplift “positions AMINA to serve the accelerating demand from professional investors,” and services are live for professional investors in Hong Kong subject to local jurisdictional rules.
