]( One Satoshi Founder and CEO Roger Li: Where will OTC stores go after the implementation of Hong Kong's stablecoin regulations?》
The VA Dealing license can be understood as a compliance license exclusive to OTC, no longer the MSO (money service operator) license issued by customs in the past, but regulated uniformly by the Securities and Futures Commission. This change reflects the government's desire to bring crypto asset trading under a regulatory framework similar to that of the securities market.

Implementing blockchain is not easy, and it is understandable to remain cautious while its market impact is still unclear.
