In 2019, the Hong Kong-listed company “Brand China” chose to change its name to “BC Technology” and fully entered the digital assets and blockchain field. On December 15, 2020, OSL, a digital asset trading platform under the BC Technology Group, obtained the first and seventh licenses under the regulatory framework of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, becoming the first digital asset trading platform with a listed parent company, licensed in Hong Kong, covered by asset insurance, and audited by the Big Four accounting firms. After the new policy on virtual assets in Hong Kong officially landed on June 1, 2022, OSL became one of the first crypto platforms to apply for virtual asset retail trading business. For a long time, OSL has been the only licensed and listed digital asset trading platform in Hong Kong. Benefiting from compliance advantages, they have successively cooperated with traditional financial giants such as DBS Bank and Standard Chartered Bank in the field of digital assets, and received an investment of HKD 543 million from Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC. But like most blockchain concept stocks listed on the secondary market, the recent market performance of BC Technology (HK: 863) is not satisfactory. Struggling in the cryptocurrency winter of 2022, its latest financial report shows that the revenue of BC Technology decreased by 64.3% in 2022, and the net loss expanded to HKD 550 million. So far this year, the stock price of BC Technology has reached its historical low. Recently, Jiemian News interviewed BC Technology CFO Hu Zhenbang about the regulatory details of Hong Kong’s virtual assets and OSL’s business development. Hu Zhenbang has over 16 years of experience in the financial field and has held positions in several companies, including Hong Kong-listed technology companies, investment banks, and the Big Four accounting firms.

Everyone knew the Merge would have positive implications for DeFi, but not even a year has gone by and it’s exceeded the wildest of bull cases. One of the places we can see this most clearly is in LSDfi - the growing world of DeFi built on liquid staked derivatives.
