The Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute (HKSII) is planning to begin training virtual asset traders. 

As the city emerges as an increasingly confident crypto hub, the finance school prepares to teach the next generation of licensed crypto traders.

With about 30,000 candidates taking its examinations annually, the HKSII is responsible for training and conducting license exams for brokers and asset managers in Hong Kong. 

Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute Prepares to Teach Virtual Asset Trading

In comments reported this week, HKSI Chairman Colin Shaftesley revealed that the Institute will run a number of training programs and seminars on virtual assets in the next few months.

The HKSII website lists several crypto-themed webinars in its upcoming schedule of events. These will explore such topics as “How Digital Assets can Co-Exist within Traditional Finance’s IT Architecture” and “Digital Assets for Portfolio Management.”

A separate page on the site refers to Hong Kong’s new licensing regime for virtual asset trading platforms. The institute says it intends to support the new regime, which was enacted in June. To do this, the HKSII says it is developing new examination and training programs, which will be announced soon.

According to Shaftesley, the new regulations have injected the virtual asset space with new confidence. He added that young people are especially interested in careers in the sector.
