Futu Securities announced the launch of its cryptocurrency trading services, becoming the first online brokerage in Hong Kong to offer commission-free services. To attract users, the company plans to gift Bitcoin and shares of Alibaba and NVIDIA to specific customers who open accounts and hold assets for a certain period of time. Additionally, Futu Securities is applying through its wholly-owned subsidiary PantherTrade for an SFC virtual asset trading platform license, which has been placed on the 'considered licensed' applicants list. These measures aim to expand the company's influence in the cryptocurrency sector and provide users with more diversified investment options.
