Tiger Brokers Response to Regulatory Guidance: Existing Trading Activities Unaffected, No Plan to Liquidate Current Users

BlockBeats News, May 25th, Tiger Brokers issued a customer statement regarding the recent market-focused regulatory guidance, stating that the relevant regulatory rules have not yet been fully implemented. At the current stage, domestic clients' deposits, positions opening, and trading have not been affected, and the platform will also "not clear out existing users."

Tiger Brokers stated that this regulatory guidance mainly targets individual investors who "only hold a Chinese mainland ID card or mainland passport without any overseas identity," and the scope of impact covers the entire industry, including cross-border brokerage platforms such as Tiger, Futu, and Changqiao.

According to the statement, individual clients holding a Hong Kong permanent resident identity card, a non-permanent resident identity card, a work visa, a student visa, or other overseas legal identity certificates, as well as overseas registered operating institutions, are currently "not affected," and related account, trading, and fund transfer services are operating normally.

For affected clients, Tiger mentioned that they may gradually restrict "deposits and buy orders" occurring domestically in the future, but the specific implementation time and details are not yet clear. If there is a formal plan later on, users will be notified in advance and provided with transition arrangements.

Regarding asset security, Tiger emphasized the strict segregation of client funds from company operating funds. U.S. stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and Singapore stocks assets are separately held by institutions such as DTCC, Hong Kong Central Clearing System, and Singapore CDP for custody, and the company's overall operations and financial condition are normal.
