The Hong Kong digital asset broker Victory Securities announced on November 4 that it plans to introduce 2 new structured products for its advanced clientele. The announcement comes after Victory Securities got the approval of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to offer structured products.
The licensing will allow the platform to distribute and market virtual asset-structured products. The products, which are meant to roll out by the end of the year, will be cash-settled. Notably, the broker will be the first crypto broker to offer such products in Hong Kong and the first to receive approval of that kind from the Hong Kong SFC.&nbsp;
Victory Securities hopes to continue promoting innovation within the Hong Kong virtual asset industry. The broker aims to act as a bridge between traditional finance and digital assets while offering compliant investment products for its users. Introducing virtual asset-structured products will also help the company solidify its standing in the Hong Kong virtual assets market.

According to Victory Securities, the upcoming products will provide more diversity in the country’s digital asset products. Structured products allow investors to earn different types of returns depending on market conditions.&nbsp;
The brokerage firm confirmed that structured products are connected to the performance of digital assets. Investors can then earn higher returns, achieve various investment objectives, and avoid risks associated with digital asset investments.&nbsp;
The company mentioned that its clients who hold stablecoins through the Victory Securities omnibus account will earn extra yields from the products. Stablecoin holders will also have more stable returns from the given products.&nbsp;
The Victory Securities Executive Director, Kennix Chan, highlighted the essence of advanced products for professional investors in Hong Kong. The director pointed out the country’s lack of strategic investment options and how the recent approval will drive structured products
<blockquote>
 “The regulatory green light for Victory Securities to market virtual asset structured products signifies an important step forward for Hong Kong to build a comprehensive virtual asset ecosystem.”

While mentioning his short time as the SFC executive director, Yip still confirmed his continued attendance at regulatory events.&nbsp;
Yip noted the increased developments and innovation in the virtual asset market. The SFC director revealed that the fast-growing sector necessitates comprehensive regulations to protect Hong Kong crypto investors. Yip mentioned that FinTech Week 2024 was the perfect platform for him to reveal the commission’s plans for the regulatory future of Hong Kong’s digital assets markets.&nbsp;
