The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) officially announced on April 7 that it has issued regulatory guidelines to licensed virtual asset trading platforms regarding the provision of staking services, as well as guidelines for virtual asset funds recognized by the SFC participating in staking activities. The virtual asset exchange HashKey Exchange received approval from the Hong Kong SFC on April 10 to become one of the first exchanges in Hong Kong authorized to provide staking services.

The SFC stated in the announcement, "The Commission recognizes the potential benefits of staking in enhancing the security of blockchain networks and allowing investors to earn returns from virtual assets in a regulated market environment."

In February of this year, the SFC released the "Virtual Asset Development Roadmap" ("A-S-P-I-Re" framework) and proposed to consider expanding the range of virtual asset products under a regulatory framework, including providing staking, leverage, and lending services under clear guidelines.

HashKey Exchange's Managing Director Terence Pu stated, "HashKey Exchange has built a regulatory-compliant staking service system, taking the lead in providing ETH staking services for spot ETFs and is actively promoting staking services for all clients.

This service relies on HashKey Cloud's excellent node operation capabilities to provide users with secure and compliant staking services. In the near future, investors will not only be able to hold Ethereum ETFs for staking returns but also hold ETH directly and earn additional returns through our staking services."
