South China Morning Post: Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Hong Kong SFC listed in FTX creditors' list

ChainCatcher news, according to the South China Morning Post, the FTX creditor list includes over 50 Hong Kong institutions, including local regulatory bodies such as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), but it is currently unclear whether FTX owes any liabilities to these institutions.

The Securities and Futures Commission has not yet responded to requests for comment, but a spokesperson for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority stated, "We have noted this matter. This list was compiled by a U.S. financial consulting firm and contains thousands of names, including many regulatory bodies from various jurisdictions. We cannot comment on the reasons for including the Hong Kong Monetary Authority on the list." In November 2022, HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue stated during a presentation on the performance of the government's Exchange Fund that the fund has not invested in cryptocurrencies. (source link)
