NASDAQ-listed Hang Feng Technology Innovation Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: FOFO) announced Monday that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hang Feng International Asset Management Limited, has been granted a Type 1 (Dealing in Securities) license by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission. The approval adds a third regulated activity to the subsidiary's license stack, following earlier upgrades to its Type 4 and Type 9 licenses to cover virtual asset-related services.
Third License in the Stack
Hang Feng International Asset Management Limited, known as HFIAM, now holds Type 1, Type 4, and Type 9 authorizations from the Hong Kong SFC. The Type 1 designation covers Dealing in Securities, the broadest transactional license in the SFC's framework. HFIAM's Type 4 and Type 9 licenses had previously been upgraded specifically to permit the provision of virtual asset-related services, positioning the subsidiary at the intersection of traditional and digital asset markets.
What the SFC Authorization Means for FOFO
An SFC license is a prerequisite for conducting regulated financial activities in Hong Kong. By securing Type 1 authorization, HFIAM gains the standing to deal directly in securities under Hong Kong law — a capability that had not previously been part of its licensed scope. For Hang Feng Technology Innovation, a company listed on NASDAQ, the license extends its regulated presence in one of Asia's primary financial centers.
Accumulating Regulatory Credentials
The company framed the Type 1 grant as "another licensing breakthrough," language that signals a deliberate sequencing of regulatory approvals rather than a one-off event. The prior Type 4 and Type 9 upgrades for virtual asset services, combined with the new Type 1 authorization, suggest HFIAM is building toward a fuller-service regulated platform in Hong Kong. Hang Feng Technology Innovation Co., Ltd. trades on NASDAQ under the ticker FOFO and is incorporated in Hong Kong. No financial terms were disclosed in connection with the license grant.
