  + stars: | 2023-10-30 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Zodia Custody, the crypto security firm owned by British banking giant Standard Chartered, is launching its services in Hong Kong, the company told CNBC exclusively. "The Hong Kong government and the regulators see digital assets as the future and also want Hong Kong to be a hub," Sawyer said. Hong Kong has been increasingly warming to crypto assets despite a broader anti-crypto push from China, which banned bitcoin trading and mining in 2021. At first, it will seek to provide services for Hong Kong clients in a limit set of crypto assets. Zodia is also in discussions with both the SFC and Hong Kong Monetary Authority about becoming regulated in the financial district.

☆ Britain sets out plans to regulate crypto industry in wake of FTX collapse
  + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
In a widely-anticipated industry consultation launched Tuesday, the government proposed a number of measures aimed at bringing regulation of crypto asset businesses in line with that of traditional financial firms. A big theme that emerged in 2022 was the rise of risky loans made between multiple crypto firms and a lack of due diligence done on the counterparties involved in those transactions.
