HONG KONG,
CHINA -�Media OutReach -
12 November 2019 – Cash is king, Gold is better. There is more than one reason
bitcoin is dubbed as “digital gold” in time of turbulence. TideBit, as the largest and safest
bitcoin to fiat exchange in Hong Kong and frequently quoted for its signature
pair BTC/HKD and ETH/HKD, is grasping a golden opportunity presented by HK
Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).
During the Hong Kong Fintech Week, the HK SFC issued regulatory
policies for digital currency exchanges. Two major take-away points:
1. The new rules will apply to security tokens and digital assets
only, but not to mainstream cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or
Ethereum as regarded as commodity, not securities.
2. SFC warned investors about the risks associated with the trading
of futures contracts, which are highly leveraged, largely unregulated and
exposed to tremendous risk.
TideBit
exchange platform token TBT rose nearly 30% after the announcement, and the
volume of transactions also surged more than three times within one day. A
TideBit speaks person commented: “TideBit welcome the new SFC
framework to proactively protect the investors. In the long run, only the
self-disciplined, self-regulated exchanges with vision could reap the long-term
benefits of blockchain technology and decentralized community. I am extremely
excited by the opportunities presented by the SFC framework. TideBit has been
operating under compliance and welcomes the SFC policies.”

Asia’s biggest fintech events. Themes of this year’s event include the latest

Asia’s largest and safest bitcoin to fiat exchange. Users can sign up, deposit
