DL HOLDINGS GP (01709): The Securities Regulatory Commission has agreed to revise the licensing conditions for providing virtual asset trading services to retail investors.

DL HOLDINGS GP (01709) announced that on June 24, 2026, Dillen Securities (Hong Kong) Limited (Dillen Securities) has obtained approval from the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong to amend one of the licensing conditions applicable to one of the regulated activities under Dillen Securities' Type 1 (Securities Trading) license, which is related to providing virtual asset trading services. The amendment removes the previous restriction that such services were limited to professional investors only, and allows Dillen Securities to provide virtual asset trading services to retail clients, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and terms and conditions imposed by the Securities and Futures Commission. Dillen Securities has accepted the amended conditions on the same day and will start offering virtual asset trading services to retail investors after the amendment takes effect. The Board believes that the approval to amend Dillen Securities' licensing conditions by the Securities and Futures Commission is an important milestone for the Group, as it expands the potential client coverage for Dillen Securities' virtual asset trading services, and supports the Group's strategy to expand its regulated digital asset business in Hong Kong, China. The Group plans to continue developing its virtual asset-related business in a cautious and compliant manner.
