HabitTrade responds to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission announcement: has not conducted regulated business in Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) recently issued a notice reminding the public to be cautious of certain unlicensed platforms and related market promotional activities, mentioning HabitTrade.

In response, HabitTrade issued a statement claiming that it is a licensed Australian brokerage and compliant financial services platform, and has not conducted any regulated business in Hong Kong, nor promoted or provided related services to the public in Hong Kong.

The statement also pointed out that some third-party promotional content, video materials, and platform traffic diversion activities that have recently appeared in the market do not represent the official position of HabitTrade. The company reserves the right to trace and take legal action against any misleading promotions and violations using its brand, technological channels, or partnerships without authorization.

HabitTrade stated that it will continue to adhere to a compliance-first approach and cooperate with the regulatory requirements of relevant jurisdictions to conduct necessary investigations.
