On July 11, CMB International Securities received approval from the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to upgrade its existing securities trading license to include virtual asset services.

CMB International Securities, the brokerage arm wholly owned by China Merchants Bank, has officially begun offering virtual asset trading services as of August 18, 2025. This move follows a landmark regulatory approval granted by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission on July 11, which upgraded its existing securities trading license to include virtual asset capabilities, making it the first Chinese bank-affiliated broker in Hong Kong to gain such authorization.

Qualified investors can now trade Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Tether (USDT) around the clock via the firm’s mobile application. The platform’s launch underscores CMBI’s commitment to integrating digital assets into its wealth offerings while maintaining rigorous risk management and compliance protocols.

By offering regulated, around-the-clock crypto access, CMBI aims to deliver safer, more diversified investment options and seize emerging global wealth management opportunities through a unified, tech-forward financial platform.
