HKEX Under Scrutiny as APAC Regulators Tighten Rules on DAT Crypto Treasury Listings

In COINOTAG News’ October coverage, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange responded to Bloomberg’s report on tightening APAC regulation affecting Crypto Treasury (DAT) models. The exchange reaffirmed that its regulatory framework ensures listing candidates and existing issuers remain viable, sustainable, and substantive, with rigorous due diligence and market integrity at the core.

Market sources say the HKEX has questioned the strategic plans of at least five firms transitioning toward Crypto Treasury (DAT) structures, citing potential breaches of liquidity rules governing large liquid asset holdings. The issue underscores heightened emphasis on compliance and risk controls for prospective listings.

Together, the developments underscore APAC’s evolving crypto-regulation landscape, where authorities balance innovation with prudential safeguards. Investors should monitor official guidance to gauge how listing viability and APAC regulation will shape future digital-asset offerings.
