【翻译】香港监管机构对未经管制的比特币期货发出警告

香港金融监管机构发布了关于比特币期货和其他与数字货币的新警告。警告称只有持牌机构可以在香港境内提供比特币期货和其他与数字货币交易，并指明这是“证券及期货事务监察委员会 和“期货条例”。

芝加哥商业交易所（CBOE）周日晚间正式上市的期货合约交易的第一个交易日即将公布。 芝加哥商品交易所集团（CME Group）下周将推出自己的期货合约。

监管机构写道：“比特币期货已经或将很快由一些经美国商品期货交易委员会监管并经证券及期货事务监察委员会（“证监会”）授权提供自动交易的美国成熟期货及商品交易所推出此类服务”。

此外还写道：“香港投资者可以通过这些交易所的中介机构进行比特币期货交易。如果提供任何其他商业服务的机构需要获得证监会的比特币期货许可证。”

证监会也强调其他形式的加密货币可供投资者在该国使用。根据“通知”，未能获得提供此类服务的许可，根据“证券及期货条例”可能构成刑事罪行。

证监会警告投资者仔细研读“证券及期货条例”，不受监管的加密货币交易所的比特币期货是否构成“期货合约”或“证券”条例。 还提醒投资者交易加密货币的潜在风险，包括流动性不足和价格波动。

A Hong Kong finance regulator has published a new circular on bitcoin futures and other cryptocurrency-related investment products.

The circular, released by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong on Dec. 11, states that only licensed firms are allowed to offer such products within Hong Kong, specifying that it is a "type 2 regulated activity" under the Securities and Futures Ordinance.

It was notably released on the first full day of trading of the futures contract launched by Chicago-based CBOE, which officially went live late Sunday. It also comes ahead of a release by CME Group, which is kicking off its own futures contract next week.

"Bitcoin Futures have been or will soon be launched by certain well-established futures and commodities exchanges in the United States which are regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and authorised by the Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”) to provide automated trading services," the regulator wrote, adding:

"Hong Kong investors may be able to trade in bitcoin futures through an intermediary which is a member of these exchanges....The industry is reminded that a party is required to have an appropriate licence with the SFC if it provides any other business services relating to bitcoin futures."

The SFC also stressed that other forms of cryptocurrency-related investment products are available to investors in the country including cryptocurrency options. Failure to obtain a license to offer such services "may be committing a criminal offence under the SFO," according to the circular.

SFC warned investors to check whether bitcoin futures products from unregulated cryptocurrency exchanges constitute "futures contracts" or "securities" under the SFO. It also reminded investors about the potential risks in trading cryptocurrencies including insufficient liquidity and price volatility.
