The sixteen digital assets are large-cap cryptocurrencies:

  3. Cardano (ADA),

OKX will cooperate with Hong Kong regulators

Earlier this year, OKX announced that it had established an entity in Hong Kong to seek to be licensed under the city’s new regulatory regime, for Digital Asset Service Providers (VASPs), which comes into effect on June 1.

OKX’s Global Chief Commercial Officer, Lennix Lai, said the exchange looks forward to working with Hong Kong regulators every step of the way.
