#交易平台业务 Seeing the new developments in the JPEX case, I feel a bit heavy-hearted. From 2020 to 2023, a single account system handled over HKD 18.8 million in suspicious funds—what a painful lesson for many investors behind this.

This case reminds me of one thing: the platform’s licensing and compliance are really not minor details. Unlicensed trading platforms, no matter how glamorous their packaging or how famous their endorsers, are essentially walking a tightrope in the legal gray area. The influencer effect only amplifies the risks, it doesn’t eliminate them.

I’ve always told people around me that choosing a trading platform is like choosing a bank; you need to verify licenses, understand risk control measures, and confirm fund custody methods. These steps may seem tedious, but once the platform encounters trouble, you’ll realize how critical these details are. Funds lost to scams often disappear through multiple transfers, and the chances of recovery are minimal.

Instead of regretting after the fact, it’s better to be cautious beforehand. Focus more on long-term, stable allocations, choose regulated and legitimate channels, and control the size of each investment. This is not conservatism, but a responsible approach to your assets.
