Big news: The established payment project Alchemy Pay may be entering the compliant exchange sector.

Alchemy Pay has just officially announced its investment in Hong Kong securities company HTF Securities Limited (瑞丰国际证券). HTF has been operating in the Hong Kong capital market for many years and holds three core financial licenses, which are:

Class 1 (Securities Trading)

Class 4 (Securities Advisory)

Class 9 (Asset Management)

Through its strategic investment in HTF, Alchemy Pay has successfully obtained the aforementioned financial licenses. This is just the first step of the strategy.

What’s next?

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission currently allows holders of Class 1, Class 4, and Class 9 licenses to apply for an extension of their business scope to include virtual assets. This means that by holding the above financial licenses, Alchemy Pay is now expected to expand its business activities to cryptocurrency assets.

What is the probability of success? Previously, Guotai Junan and Futu Securities successfully passed the approval of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission and were permitted to provide virtual asset trading services.

Personally, I think the probability of approval is quite high.

Alchemy Pay's strategic ambitions go far beyond just license upgrades. I have organized its ecological layout and the benefits for $ACH:

Alchemy Pay compliance license upgrade

Alchemy Chain launch, empowering $ACH (the mainnet is expected to launch in Q4 2025)

Issuance of its own stablecoin (expected to be issued on Alchemy Chain)

More RWA product integration. Previously, Alchemy Pay collaborated with Backed & xStocks to launch the world's first fiat-to-RWA product.

Looking at the trend of $ACH, after a period of consolidation, it has been steadily rising for nearly a month. If you are a $ACH holder, I suggest paying attention to the important milestones I mentioned above.
