The native token of the crypto exchange Huobi Global – HT – spiked around 16% after Justin Sun outlined the company’s intentions to obtain a trading license in Hong Kong. 

If secured, the authorization will allow the platform to offer a wide range of digital asset services and products to domestic consumers. 

  • Justin Sun – Tron’s Founder and a member of Huobi’s Global Advisory Board – revealed that the crypto exchange has applied for a trading license with Hong Kong’s watchdogs.
  • He labeled the initiative as a “major step” and a demonstration that the entity is willing to cooperate with global regulators. He also believes the potential permit will help Huobi establish a “reliable” platform for Hong Kong users.

  • He further announced the launch of a new trading venue in the special administrative region of China called Huobi Hong Kong. It will be “fully compliant with local regulations and offer a range of trading pairs and services to customers,” Sun assured.
  • The native token of the exchange – HT – climbed approximately 16% hours after the disclosure. It currently trades at $6, while earlier today, it hit $6.10.
  • It is worth noting that Sun is among the biggest holders of HT. He maintained last year that he owns “tens of millions” of coins as he started accumulating in 2013.
  • Sun has previously claimed that a probable increased cryptocurrency adoption in Hong Kong could soften China’s stance on the industry. All digital asset services in the most populous country are prohibited at the moment.
