HONG KONG, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — **A KUN Group company has received approval-
in-principle from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for Type 1 (dealing
in securities), Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated
activities.** The Type 1 and Type 4 scopes include virtual asset-related activities
and the provision of services to retail clients, while the Type 9 scope covers general
asset management.

**This was KUN’s first application for these regulated activities, and it received
approval-in-principle for all three.** The Type 1 and Type 4 scopes also cover both
virtual asset-related activities and retail client services. Against the SFC’s stringent
fit-and-proper, competence and internal-control requirements, this represents an
important milestone in KUN’s regulatory footprint in Hong Kong.

KUN currently operates across four core pillars: **Cross-Border Digital Payments,
On-Chain Finance, Card Issuing and Agentic Payments**. Subject to obtaining the 
necessary licences and approvals and meeting applicable regulatory requirements,
KUN plans to explore further opportunities across **virtual asset-related services,
digital asset treasury management, asset and wealth management, supply chain finance,
and asset tokenization**.

In Hong Kong, KUN Group entities also hold licences and registrations including 
a **Money Service Operator (MSO) licence, Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP)
licence, registration as a trust company under the Trustee Ordinance (Cap. 29), 
and a Money Lenders Licence**. Beyond Hong Kong, KUN has established a regulatory
footprint across the **United States, Canada and Europe**, including MSB registrations
in the United States and Canada and VASP registration in Poland, while continuing
to advance its regulatory initiatives across Singapore, the Middle East and other
priority markets.
