Set out in a circular, the SFC’s new guidance aims primarily to facilitate secondary trading of tokenised SFC-authorised open-ended funds on SFC-licensed virtual asset trading platforms (VATPs), not least broadening access to regulated trading services for retail investors. However, the SFC may also consider over-the-counter secondary trading arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
