# DL HOLDINGS GP: The CSRC has approved the revision of the licensing conditions for providing virtual asset trading services to retail investors

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, DL HOLDINGS GP (01709) announced that on June 24, 2026, DL Securities (Hong Kong) Limited (DL Securities) has obtained the approval of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission to amend one of the licensing conditions applicable to DL Securities' Type 1 (Securities Trading) regulated activities license, which is related to the provision of virtual asset trading services. The relevant amendment removes the previous restriction that such services were limited to professional investors, allowing DL Securities to provide virtual asset trading services to retail clients, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and the terms and conditions imposed by the SFC. DL Securities has accepted the amended conditions on the same day and will begin offering virtual asset trading services to retail investors after the amendment takes effect.

The board believes that the SFC's approval to amend DL Securities' licensing conditions is an important milestone for the group, as it expands the potential customer coverage for DL Securities' virtual asset trading services and supports the group's strategy to expand its regulated digital asset business in Hong Kong. The group intends to continue developing its virtual asset-related business in a prudent and compliant manner
