Amid multiple reports erroneously suggesting that HKVAEX has applied for an SFC license, the HKVAEX representative claimed the crypto exchange has yet to submit an application.


“We are still preparing for the application at the moment,” the HKVAEX representative told Cointelegraph on Nov. 27. The spokesperson stressed that HKVAEX should not be confused with VAEXC, which applied for a crypto license in Hong Kong on Oct. 25, according to SFC data.


“VAEXC is another applicant, and they have nothing to do with us,” the HKVAEX representative said, adding that the firm is unrelated to HKVAEX.Hong Kong VAEXC license application. Source: SFC


The news came a few weeks after the Hong Kong-based publication South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported that Binance was behind the HKVAEX exchange. According to SCMP sources, HKVAEX was set up by Binance to pursue a crypto license in Hong Kong. The report also claimed that HKVAEX’s website uses Binance servers to fetch content.The logos of cryptocurrency exchanges HKVAEX and Binance. Source: SCMP


HKVAEX and Binance did not respond to Cointelegraph’s request for comment on alleged links between the platforms.
