Hong Kong's Leading Tech Brokerage: Compliant, Secure, and Trusted
Public data shows that Futu serves one in every two Hong Kong adults, with its Niu Niu app consistently ranking as the most downloaded stock trading platform in the region. As a licensed entity under the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), Futu adheres strictly to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. Client Crypto assets are custodied with licensed exchanges, ensuring secure fund and asset transfers.
The Shortest Path from Crypto to TradFi Assets
Traditional Crypto trading channels often limit investment options, creating a disconnect from TradFi products. Most financial institutions lack the compliance infrastructure to handle Crypto, restricting its circulation within traditional systems. Futu Niu Niu addresses this gap by offering:
- Diverse asset classes: Stocks (HK/US/Japan), Crypto, options, ETFs, cash funds, and bonds
- Unified account management: Streamlined cross-asset visibility and switching
- Advanced tools: Real-time market data, AI analytics, and algo trading features
With Futu’s new deposit function, Crypto investors gain unprecedented flexibility to:
- Hold digital assets securely
- Sell Crypto and reallocate to TradFi instruments
