According to Foresight News, Julia Leung, CEO of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), stated at Consensus 2026 that the SFC is improving the regulatory ecosystem for virtual assets and announced three new initiatives: 1. Margin financing: Brokers will be allowed to provide financing to creditworthy clients, with collateral including securities and virtual assets. Initially, this will be limited to BTC and ETH. 2. Perpetual contracts: A high-level regulatory framework will be introduced, allowing licensed platforms to offer perpetual contracts to professional investors. 3. Affiliated market makers: Regulations will be relaxed to allow licensed platforms to provide liquidity through affiliated market-making units. Leung also noted that tokenized assets are developing rapidly, with tokenized gold reaching a management scale of $400 million, doubling in six months. Currently, 11 tokenized money market funds have been authorized, and Project Ensemble is piloting the use of tokenized deposits to settle money market funds. http://(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=56567
