With its international workforce, world-class universities, and growing number of blockchain and FinTech professionals, Hong Kong is well-positioned to support innovative companies.
Global prime brokerage firm LTP leverages Hong Kong’s strengths as Asia’s leading FinTech hub to accelerate its expansion.
Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Asia, prime brokerage firm LTP established its Hong Kong office in 2023, leveraging the city’s strengths as an international financial centre and the region’s most dynamic FinTech hub, and has since steadily expanded its presence and services.
In February 2025, LTP secured licences from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission to conduct multiple regulated activities, underscoring its commitment to providing regulated and secure solutions to its clients. The firm subsequently decided to establish Hong Kong as its primary headquarters, located in Exchange Square in the Central district, to not only support its business expansion but to also facilitate closer engagement with customers, regulators and strategic partners.
Where Legacy Meets Innovation
Adding to its advantageous geographic location, deep institutional networks and clear regulatory framework, Hong Kong’s innovation-friendly policies make it particularly ideal for companies looking to shape the future of finance. “The government’s support policies and initiatives, such as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s “FinTech 2025” strategy, are driving forward the digital transformation of Hong Kong’s finance industry.
An evolving licensing regime for virtual asset trading platforms also reflects the city’s commitment to building up its digital assets ecosystem. In addition, the annual Hong Kong FinTech Week offers a great opportunity for like-minded people to explore the latest industry trends and exchange ideas. All these initiatives provide a wealth of opportunities for LTP,” Jack Yang, Founder and CEO at LTP said.
Yang added that InvestHK’s one-stop services, such as business matching, policy briefings, and market promotion, have effectively connected LTP with major banks, institutional partners, and the entire Hong Kong FinTech ecosystem.
Welcoming the Future with World-class Talent
As part of its strategic growth, LTP aims to expand its team in Hong Kong to support institutional needs across asset classes and geographies. “Hong Kong offers a strong and diverse talent pool, particularly in finance, technology and compliance.
With its international workforce, world-class universities, and growing number of blockchain and FinTech professionals, the city is well-positioned to support innovative companies,” Ethan Wang, CEO, Hong Kong at LTP said. “Government-led talent schemes and R&D incentives further strengthen recruitment prospects, making Hong Kong a great place to gain both global experience and local insight.”
“Hong Kong’s FinTech landscape thrives with a dynamic ecosystem, strong regulatory support and access to global markets,” said Wang. “And with ongoing initiatives and investments that support technological innovation, the city offers the ideal environment for FinTech firms to flourish.”
