Beosin and COINHERO has entered into a strategic partnership to support compliance development for Web3 OTC in Hong Kong

Beosin officially established a strategic partnership with COINHERO, one of the largest virtual asset OTC in Hong Kong. The two sides aim to carry out in-depth cooperation around OTC security and compliance solutions and help compliance and regulatory development for Web3 OTC in Hong Kong.

On 2 February 2024, Mr Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, said that the government considered it necessary to bring OTC virtual asset trading under regulation and would soon launch consultation on regulatory proposals.

At present, the regulation of virtual assets in Hong Kong mainly focuses on two aspects: one is the regulation of virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and the other is the regulation of over-the-counter (OTC) services. According to a rough estimate from the initial field observation of the Hong Kong Law Enforcement agencies, there are about 200 physical OTC virtual asset trading shops (including those operated by ATMs) in operation in Hong Kong and about 250 online active OTC service providers offering virtual asset trading.

On 8 February 2024, the government launched a public consultation on the legislative proposal to establish a licensing regime for virtual asset OTC providers. According to the legislative proposal, all OTC virtual asset trading services, whether through offline physical stores (including ATMs) or online website services, may be required to be licensed by the Commissioner of Customs and Excise (CCE).

COINHERO has the largest Bitcoin ATM network in Asia to facilitate investors to trade virtual assets quickly. For payments, COINHERO provides consulting advice to retail or online merchants to assist businesses in integrating POS systems that support virtual asset payments. In terms of OTC business, COINHERO has launched OTC services in Hong Kong, where investors can trade virtual assets such as BTC and ETH in real time via cash at COINHERO.

As one of the first companies in the world focusing on virtual asset anti-money laundering, Beosin provides Web3 security and compliance services and has senior experience in virtual asset anti-money laundering (AML) and compliance assessment in accordance with local regulatory requirements. Previously, Beosin has conducted Web3 security and compliance training for different national and regional regulators such as The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

In this partnership, Beosin and COINHERO will jointly advance compliance and regulatory innovation in the OTC industry, aiming to address compliance issues in the OTC industry. The partnership will strive to provide the OTC industry with more comprehensive, safe and compliant products and services and further promote the compliance development of virtual assets in Hong Kong.

At the same time, Beosin, as a Web3 security and compliance solution provider, will provide COINHERO with KYT/AML compliance solutions that meet the compliance needs of its business.
