2月20日香港证监会就有关监管虚拟资产交易平台的建议展开咨询。在长达100多页的咨询文件中,有哪些内容值得关注?

2月20日香港证监会就有关监管虚拟资产交易平台的建议展开咨询。根据将于2023年6月1日生效的新发牌制度,所有在香港经营业务或向香港投资者积极进行推广的中央虚拟资产交易平台,将需获证监会发牌。在长达100多页的咨询文件中,有哪些内容值得关注?

1、

随着《2022 年打击洗钱及恐怖分子资金筹集(修订)条例草案》在 2022 年 12 月获立法会通过,专为提供非证券型代币交易服务的中央虚拟资产交易平台而设的全新发牌制度将在 2023 年 6 月 1 日生效。待新制度实施后,所有在香港经营业务或向香港投资者积极推广其服务的中央虚拟资产交易平台,不论它们有否提供证券型代币交易服务,将需获证监会发牌并受其监管。

2、

由于虚拟资产市场波动不定及FTX倒闭,各主要司法管辖区正将监管方针从宽松(即从打击洗钱或支付角度进行监管)转为较全面(即从投资者保障角度进行监管)。

3、

平台营运者应透过一家全资拥有的附属公司以信托方式持有客户款项及客户虚拟资产。平台营运者应确保储存在线上钱包内的客户虚拟资产不多于 2%。平台营运者不应存入、转移、借出、质押、再质押或以其他方式买卖客户虚拟资产,或就客户虚拟资产产生任何产权负担。其亦须备有保险,而其保障范围应涵盖保管客户虚拟资产所涉及的风险。

平台营运者不应从事自营交易或自营的庄家活动,并且应设有用来管限雇员就虚拟资产进行交易的政策,以消除、避免、管理或披露实际或潜在利益冲突。

平台营运者应在每个历月结束后两个星期内及在证监会提出要求时,就其业务活动每月向证监会提供报告。

4、

证监会已根据该制度认可了三只虚拟资产期货ETF。因此,零售投资者在香港已能透过受规管产品以间接方式接触虚拟资产。

证监会希望强调,虚拟资产本身并不受证监会的监管,意即证监会从未审核亦未曾审阅虚拟资产的要约及推广文件。证监会拟采取更审慎的方针,即引入持牌平台营运者在厘定可否向零售客户提供某特定虚拟资产时须遵从的一系列客观准则,包括:

a) 虚拟资产的管理层或开发团队的背景;

b) 虚拟资产在平台营运者提供交易服务的各个司法管辖区的监管状况,及其监管状况会否亦影响平台营运者的监管责任;

c) 虚拟资产的供求、市场成熟程度及流通性,包括其市值,平均每日成交量,往绩纪录(例如已发行至少 12 个月,惟不包括证券型代币),其他平台营运者是否亦就该虚拟资产提供交易,有没有相关交易组合(例如法定货币兑虚拟资产),及该虚拟资产在哪些司法管辖区可供买卖;

d) 虚拟资产的技术层面,包括其区块链规程的安全基础设施,区块链和网络的大小(特别是对常见攻击(例如 51%攻击)的抵御能力),共识算法的类型,及与涉及虚拟资产及其支援区块链的代码缺陷、违规事项和其他威胁有关的风险,或适用于它们的作业手法和规程;

e) 发行人所发出的虚拟资产推广材料,其内容应为准确及不具误导性;

f) 虚拟资产的开发情况,包括其白皮书(如有)所载任何与其有关的项目的结果,及过往与其历史和开发情况有关的任何重大事件;

g) 虚拟资产的市场风险,包括虚拟资产持仓高度集中或由少数个人或实体所控制、价格操纵和欺诈,及较广泛或较狭窄采纳该虚拟资产对市场风险的影响;

h) 与虚拟资产相关的法律风险,包括与其发行、分销或使用有关的任何待决或潜在的民事、监管、刑事或执法行动;及

i) 虚拟资产所提供的效用,所促成的崭新用例,或所展示的技术、结构或加密经济创新是否看来具有欺诈或极为不当的成分。

5、

持牌平台营运者如有意向零售客户提供虚拟资产,亦应确保所挑选的虚拟资产属于合资格的大型虚拟资产,并符合下列特定代币纳入准则。“合资格的大型虚拟资产”指获纳入由至少两个独立指数提供者19所推出的至少两个“获接纳的指数”中的虚拟资产。

“获接纳的指数”指具有清楚界定的目标的指数,以衡量在市场上最大型的虚拟资产20的表现,并且符合以下准则:

a) 该指数应是可供投资的,意味着有关的成分虚拟资产应具备充足的流通性。

b) 该指数应以客观方式计算,并以规则为本。

c) 指数提供者应具备所需的专业知识及技术资源,以便建构、维持和检讨指数的编制方法及规则。

d) 指数的编制方法及规则应以文件妥为记录,而且贯彻一致及具备透明度。持牌平台营运者应确保在两个指数中至少有一个由在发布传统非虚拟资产金融市场的指数方面具有经验的指数提供者所推出,例如曾推出获证监会认可指数基金跟踪的指数的指数提供者。

6、

根据《证券及期货条例》下的现行制度,持牌平台营运者不得就虚拟资产期货合约或相 关衍生工具进行销售、交易或买卖。

证监会理解,业界对销售虚拟资产衍生工具兴趣渐浓,尤其是希望可向机构投资者销 售。证监会明白,虚拟资产衍生工具作为促进虚拟资产领域与传统金融市场之间连系的介面,有着重要的角色,尤其是能让机构投资者更有效地对冲风险。

尽管如此,证监会希望透过是次咨询,更清楚地了解持牌平台营运者可能首先采取的业务模式和销售的虚拟资产衍生工具种类,以及市场需求,继而进行独立检讨并据此制订政策。

7、

计划申领牌照的虚拟资产交易平台(包括原有平台)的营运者应开始检视及修改有关系统及监控措施,为新制度作好准备。至于无意申领牌照的营运者,则应着手预备以有序方式结束其于香港的业务。

过渡安排(即不违反安排及当作为获发牌的安排)旨在为现时在香港营运的虚拟资产交易平台提供合理足够的时间,以便申领牌照或以有序方式结业。

虚拟资产交易平台必须是原有平台(即在 2023 年 6 月 1 日前已于香港营运并设有具意义且实质的业务),方合资格参与过渡安排。合资格交易平台将包括现时根据《证券及期货条例》获发牌的平台营运者,以及根据《证券及期货条例》下的现行制度已于香港就非证券型代币展开虚拟资产交易平台业务的虚拟资产交易平台申请人。合资格参与过渡安排的虚拟资产交易平台必须符合《打击洗钱条例》附表 3G 所载列的条件,才可于不违反期间(即 2023 年 6 月 1 日至 2024 年 5 月 31 日)内继续于香港营运,并将由 2024年 6 月 1 日起受限于当作为获发牌的安排。

8、

平台营运者须时刻维持不少于 5,000,000 港元的缴足股本。

SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic: The Three AI Giants Racing for IPO, Which One Is Worth Betting On?

SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are poised for historic IPOs within weeks, potentially raising a combined $180 billion—a sum exceeding the entire internet bubble's fundraising. The hosts of the Limitless Podcast argue this isn't just individual company financing but an unprecedented capital concentration for AI infrastructure, driven by an insatiable need for compute, data centers, power, and chips. SpaceX's IPO is notable for reportedly changing market index rules to allow faster inclusion, potentially funneling trillions in passive retirement funds into its stock, despite its unproven space-based data center business model. In contrast, Anthropic demonstrates explosive growth, with ARR reportedly hitting $45 billion and approaching profitability, fueled by strong enterprise adoption of products like Claude Code. Google's separate $80 billion raise highlights the immense capital pressure, even for giants. The discussion acknowledges bubble risks but leans optimistic. The hosts contend the massive spending is building essential physical infrastructure for the next technological era. A key bottleneck isn't capital but the real-world limits of chip manufacturing and construction speed. As long as demand for AI compute outstrips supply, this investment cycle represents a foundational build-out rather than a purely financial bubble. All three companies are seen as foundational bets on the future, with Anthropic often cited as the most immediately compelling due to its proven revenue trajectory.

From 'Old Guys' to 'New Favorites': How AI Is Revaluing Old Infrastructure from Dell to Nokia?

From "Vintage Tech" to "New AI Darlings": How AI Revalues Old Infrastructure One year ago, tech giants like Dell, Nokia, Cisco, and Western Data were seen as slow-growth, low-valuation stories, far from the AI spotlight dominated by players like Nvidia. Now, these legacy tech stocks are gaining market attention, sparking debate on whether this is genuine industry revaluation or a temporary narrative. As AI moves from model parameters to real-world data centers, the market is recognizing companies with proven delivery and infrastructure capabilities. This shift marks a change in the AI investment thesis: from pure model and GPU focus to the complex systems engineering required for deployment. Companies like Dell, HPE, and Corning are being revalued not for being "sexy" AI innovators, but for their decades of accumulated expertise in supply chains, enterprise delivery, and infrastructure—assets that have become critical in the AI buildout phase. The revaluation is unfolding across three key infrastructure lines: 1. **Servers & System Integration:** Dell and HPE are emerging as crucial system integrators or "general contractors" for AI data centers, translating GPU orders into complete, deployable server racks integrated with power, cooling, and networking. 2. **Networking & Connectivity:** AI's scale demands robust high-speed connections. Corning (fiber optics), Nokia (AI-RAN, 6G), and Cisco (data center switches) are gaining importance for enabling efficient data transfer within and between AI clusters. 3. **Storage:** Beyond high-speed memory (HBM/DRAM), the AI data explosion is driving demand for high-capacity hard drives (HDDs) from companies like Western Digital and Seagate to handle training data, logs, and cold storage cost-effectively. For this revaluation to be substantive and not just a narrative, three criteria are key: 1) Concrete AI-related order and revenue growth (e.g., Dell's AI server sales), 2) Upward revisions to company financial guidance, and 3) Sustainable improvements in profit quality, not just top-line revenue spikes. In essence, AI's transition to a real construction phase is re-pricing "old assets" against "new demand." The opportunity, however, is selective. Only those legacy firms that are demonstrably integrated into the capital expenditure chains of data center and enterprise AI deployment are likely to experience a true "logic re-rating" rather than just a temporary valuation bounce.

The Merger of Codex and ChatGPT Marks the Beginning of a Major Reshuffle in Programming Tools

OpenAI is shifting its strategic focus from ChatGPT to Codex, merging them along with the browser tool Atlas into a unified desktop super-app. This move signals an internal belief that Codex, originally a programming tool, represents the next evolution of AI more than conversational models like ChatGPT. Over the past year, Codex's weekly active users have surged past 5 million. The key distinction is that while ChatGPT answers questions, Codex executes tasks. Enterprises increasingly value this ability to get work done over simply receiving advice. Consequently, Codex is attracting professionals beyond developers, including analysts, bankers, marketers, and product managers. OpenAI's reorganization and increased investment in Codex stem from recognizing that the future of AI competition lies in execution capabilities, not just conversation. The company is launching role-specific plugins (e.g., for data analysis, sales, design) to transform Codex into a broad knowledge work platform that automates and redefines white-collar workflows. Beyond being a tool, Codex reflects OpenAI's ambition to redefine software. New features like "Sites"—which generates interactive websites from documents—and collaborative "Annotations" aim to create a paradigm where the AI understands the goal and handles the tools and steps, functioning more like a digital colleague than traditional software. The ultimate goal is a unified experience where the user cares only about the completed task.
