Hong Kong OTC Crypto Derivatives Market Aligning with EU Standards

Hong Kong’s financial regulators have announced their plans to adopt global reporting standards for over-the-counter (OTC) crypto derivatives, similar to the European Union’s framework. On September 26, 2024, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) revealed their intention to update the region’s OTC derivatives reporting regime to incorporate Digital Token Identifiers (DTIs) and other key global identifiers, aligning with the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) standards. The new requirements are set to come into effect by September 29, 2025.

The decision to reform Hong Kong’s reporting standards for OTC crypto derivatives follows a consultation led by the HKMA and the SFC in March 2024. Stakeholders, including financial institutions and industry bodies, emphasized the importance of integrating international standards to ensure seamless cross-border transactions and compliance. One major issue raised was the classification of crypto OTC derivatives, given they do not easily fit into the existing traditional asset classes. The adoption of DTIs and Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs) were suggested by stakeholders, with the HKMA and SFC confirming their intent to incorporate them in the updated reporting regime.

The HKMA and SFC’s joint statement highlighted the importance of aligning with global standards to ensure transparency and consistency in classifying and identifying digital assets traded in Hong Kong’s markets. The authorities will mandate the reporting of Unique Transaction Identifiers (UTIs), UPIs, and Critical Data Elements (CDEs) to standardize and harmonize data elements across OTC derivatives markets. This move reflects the growing international pressure to improve transparency and compliance in the crypto derivatives space, in line with the G20’s commitment to reform the global OTC derivatives market.

The updated regulatory framework is expected to promote better data aggregation and reporting practices for OTC crypto derivatives, enhancing regulators’ ability to monitor financial markets, detect fraud, and mitigate systemic risks more effectively. By standardizing identifiers like DTIs and UPIs, authorities can collect accurate data on OTC derivatives trades and ensure compliance with global standards. This timeline allows financial institutions sufficient time to adjust to the new requirements and implement the necessary technological infrastructure to meet the updated reporting obligations.

The regulatory overhaul coincides with Hong Kong’s efforts on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). In September 2024, the HKMA launched the second phase of its digital Hong Kong dollar (e-HKD) pilot, known as Project e-HKD+, utilizing the Visa fiat-backed token system. This project focuses on settlement for tokenized assets, programmability, and offline payments. As Hong Kong continues to align with global standards and enhance regulatory frameworks, the adoption of DTIs and other key identifiers in OTC crypto derivatives reporting signifies a significant step towards ensuring transparency and compliance in the digital asset market.
