A Hong Kong subsidiary of Kun Group, a digital payments platform, has been granted a licence by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to carry on Type 1, Type 4, and Type 9 regulated activities.
The Type 1 licence allows Kun to provide virtual asset dealing services in Hong Kong through SFC-licensed trading platforms.
The Type 4 licence spans securities and digital asset advisory services, while the Type 9 licence supports asset management capabilities for professional investors.
Kun says the formal licensing “marks a significant step” in its plans to expand its securities, virtual asset, and asset management businesses in Hong Kong.
The group is targeting the first quarter of 2027 for its initial tokenised investment product distribution rollout, with plans to include money market funds, bond funds, and tokenised gold-related investment products.
Kun will act as a distributor, aiming to broaden investment options available to eligible clients, subject to applicable requirements.
