Foresight News reports that Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) Intermediaries Department Executive Director Ye Zhi Heng stated at Consensus 2026 that the SFC has officially issued a tender for the “SFC Accelerator” program this morning. The program aims to introduce third-party service providers as communication bridges and may utilize gamification design to optimize interactions between regulatory agencies and market participants, thereby eliminating communication barriers and building mutual trust.
In addition, Ye Zhi Heng provided technical supplements to the measures previously announced by Chief Executive Officer Carrie Lam. He pointed out that in ensuring financial funding, a “two-way linkage” will be implemented, allowing Bitcoin and Ethereum to be used as collateral for securities investments, as well as permitting virtual assets to be used as collateral for traditional securities financing. Regarding perpetual contracts, the SFC will issue a “high-level guidance framework” rather than consultation documents, aiming to guide the market in a more pragmatic way. Initially, participation will be limited to professional investors only. Furthermore, the related market maker mechanism will enable platform subsidiaries to connect to global liquidity pools, preventing Hong Kong’s ecosystem from becoming isolated.
