What the SFC said

The SFC broadens products and services SFC-licensed virtual asset trading platforms may offer. It removes the 12-month track record requirement for professional-investor offerings and for stablecoins issued by licensed issuers, clarifies distribution of tokenised securities and digital asset-related products, and updates client custody requirements. Retail track-record rules for other virtual assets remain.
