RD InnoVest Secures Hong Kong SFC Licenses for Crypto Investment Services

Gate News message, April 22 — RD InnoVest, a subsidiary of RD Technologies, announced on April 20 that it has obtained Type 1 and Type 4 licenses from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). Type 1 authorizes dealing in securities, while Type 4 permits advising on securities. The approvals enable the company to offer compliant investment services to corporate clients operating in both blockchain-based and traditional financial systems.

The licenses strengthen OristaPay, RD Technologies’ flagship platform designed to integrate digital asset services with conventional financial infrastructure. The platform’s offerings include asset custody, fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversion channels, stablecoin integration, yield generation strategies, and payment solutions. The company plans to expand OristaPay’s capabilities to include regulated digital asset portfolios, potentially featuring exposure to major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

The development reflects Hong Kong’s ongoing efforts to position itself as a regulated hub for digital asset innovation. Regulatory approvals of this nature have accelerated institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial services, as compliance remains a key requirement for large-scale operations. The licensing milestone underscores the convergence between regulatory oversight and technological advancement in the region’s growing Web3 ecosystem.
