DeFi & Yields ·
Futu, Hong Kong's largest retail brokerage, has rolled out order-book trading for BNB, restricted initially to qualified professional investors in the territory. The firm asserts it holds the distinction of being the first regulated Hong Kong brokerage to offer this capability, providing real-time trading data alongside the order-book pairs.
The move expands crypto trading options within Hong Kong's regulated brokerage framework. By limiting access to professional-tier investors rather than retail clients, Futu aligns with local regulatory classifications that segment market participants by sophistication and risk tolerance.
Key details remain unclear: the timing of any expansion to broader investor categories, trading volumes, fee structures, and whether additional digital assets will receive similar order-book treatment remain unspecified.
