Aurum/Aurum Foundation was placed on the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission’s (SFC) Alert List on June 30 2026 after regulators alleged the platform operates without a required licence.
Regulatory Findings
The SFC reported that Aurum/Aurum Foundation advertises registration under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and promotes virtual‑asset, futures‑contract, and derivatives trading. The commission confirmed the entity does not possess an SFC licence, classifying its activities as unlicensed. Investors engaging with the platform could therefore face heightened exposure to fraud and market volatility.
2026 Watchlist Expansion
During 2026 the SFC has added multiple entities to its alert roster, beginning with exiovip.top on June 9 and followed by StableStock and Stablestocks Lab Limited on May 8. Earlier entries include EQU Asset Management on April 22, Quant Global Technologies and its Hong Kong affiliate on March 16, and both Globiance X Limited and Globiance HK Limited on February 3. Additional platforms such as ADG, Grid FinTech Limited, Blue Rock Capital Limited, R‑Coin Wallet, R‑Wallet, JUMANJIN CO., LIMITED, and Ju.com were also flagged throughout the first two months of the year.
Investor Advisory
The SFC urges crypto investors to confirm that any trading venue appears on the official list of licensed virtual‑asset platforms before depositing funds. Verifying a platform’s status helps protect market participants from unregulated exposure and potential loss. Continuous monitoring of the blockchain ecosystem remains essential for safeguarding investor capital.
